"I am good but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love." -M. Monroe

she dreams in poetry but writes in prose // she lives in ballet flats but likes to feel the grass between her toes // she craves her Starbucks fix // she's pearls and she's politics // she makes her own sunshine on a rainy day // she gets her work done but she lives to play.

glass half full

I'm a glass-half-full kind of girl. Even though I tend to get easily stressed out from all the events listed on my ical, all the assignments and meetings in my Lilly Pulitzer agenda, and the sticky notes with my to-do lists that pepper my computer screen and planner, I have this eternal optimism about the world.

I do this thing where i consciously think about one exciting thing to look forward to every weekday, even if it's little. It was hard to only pick one thing each day! This week:

Monday: Taylor Swift's new album came out.
Tuesday: I got to hear a fascinating discussion on the environment that represented the culmination of hard work and planning.
Wednesday: Stopping at Starbucks on the way back from class.
Thursday: My 8AM class got cancelled! Sleep!
Friday: TGIF! I'll get to celebrate Halloween and catch up on Gossip Girl and Glee (okay, so I picked more than one. Couldn't help it.)

Even though I have a lot of work, thinking about this list gets me so excited for every single day.

Also, some of my MWF classes are far, but I still like to take a few extra minutes to walk through campus rather than on the street, because not only do I see friendly faces, my campus is a national arboretum - and I get to live here for four years! Makes me so happy - life is beautiful :)

ab imo pectore,

Hannah
