Moments Before Falling
Moments Before FallingIn order to take this picture, I stood on what I thought was a stable bookshelf. It wasn't. The immediate second after this photo was taken, it collapsed, and I fell. I was not hurt.

Pancakes & Movies
Pancakes & MoviesTake 2. Tonight was fun. Olive stoped by after dinner to drop off a gift. After mentioning she had yet to eat, her, I, and my roommate trekked downstairs to the kitchen to make a midnight breakfast. We ate around my laptop propped on my roommate's dresser as we watched a movie on Netflixs.
Pool Party
Pool PartyOut of my norm, I went to a pool party with Olive, Rey, Anony, Addison, and Mel. It was fun. We played games, took cute pictures and ate free food.
Squirrel Man Frank
Squirrel Man FrankLong story short, a couple of the LLC global house residents hear a scratching/thumping noise in our attic. It starts with a few residents conjugating in the hallway to speculate the cause. Soon enough, everyone is in the hallway worried. We settle that it's a man, or a squirrel. We name him Frank.
Take Me Home Country Roads
Take Me Home Country RoadsLast year, but this year especially, I found haven in the cars of friends beneath midnight skies. We blare the speakers alternating playlist every so often. It is our reprieve to discuss nothing. To worry not.
Movie Night
Movie NightTonight I lost my phone; a major inconvenience. Brianna and Amira got home late, way later than anyone would have guessed. We searched tirelessly through the theater as the cleaning crew came in. I was frustrated to point of tears; I'm sure we all were. But Amira and Brianna refused to give up. And hours later, we found it. It was stashed in the lost and found safe by the manger. The kicker, I had actually misplaced the phones as soon as I bought my ticket but hadn't noticed its absence for the majority of the night. We road back in a somber mood.
Watching K-Dramas

Funnel Cakes for Breakfast
Funnel Cakes for BreakfastI will let you know, I was sick as hell this entire day (the entire week actually). I couldn't breath out my nose and was running a fever in 80 degree weather. I felt miserable, but refused to give up on this first with my friends; I had never been to the GA state fair. It was a great time.
