Heyyyyy! This is another one of my self portraits for my final! I will be sharing the rest with you as the weeks pass! :) I wanna make these last! I miss having time to actually tumble! I miss all of you! So glad school is done! I have so much going on in these next few weeks! But I will be back full throttle in the tumblr-sphere! News: I was officially hired as a part-time ‘photo specialist’ for ModCloth today!! Why part-time? Because I have a side (secret) project I am working on, and I am starting to work with a wedding photographer on the weekends. AND I don’t think I am ready to work full time, at least not for this summer. Call me lazy, call me what you will, but I have worked full time before, and I am not ready to do it again just yet. :P (Maybe I am also rebelling because everyone expects me to get a full time job right out of college, well having offers is just as good right?) lol It is senior week at my school, which is a nice way of saying “this is your last chance to drink and look like a fool while on campus”! I do not live on campus, but I will be staying on campus for Tuesday-Thursday! I cannot promise you that I will be active on here, I am getting this last bit of crazy out of me, so I can return to tumblr refreshed and ready to kick ass. I graduate on Saturday! Holy crap, this year went so fast. But people always say, “you will miss college so much”, I highly disagree. I never felt like I belonged in college, I feel like it was a huge distraction in what I wanted to do with my life. However, my internship at ModCloth helped me find my way… ModCloth is why I started my blog in the first place, it introduced me to social media back when I was a baby sophmore. ModCloth has helped me grow, and I can never deny that. I know this is all mushy gushy, but I stand by the fact that internships/first ‘big girl jobs’ are where you learn, not school, it comes from experience that you get. Ok, on to the next subject. I have some of my photos in a gallery in Ireland! Aparently they are still on the campus of the University of Limerick?! And will be moved shortly to the Limerick Airport?? Well, I do not know a whole lot other than two of the photos are officially on a wall, and look official and stuff! lol I will share more when I know more! My group won the Iron Chef competition in my cooking class! I won $20! haha I know, my life is so random. :} I AM COMING TO L.A. in a few weeks!!!!! No, it is not to model. Its to network! I will be in Culver City area. I will be there for 3 days and have no clue what to do! Let me know if any of you want to meet up! :) I love making new friends! Or send me suggestions of where to go! :) E-mail me! <333 Ok, I am done now updating you on my life. I just wanted to let you know what I have been up to. I am also in the process of getting ombre hair! I was going to go this drastic, but now I am not so sure. Thoughts???

Yep! You better believe it. An Irish friend of mine told me it rarely snows where we are in Ireland. To have it snow the last day we were here was sort of amazing. I just got back from running around in it, trying to catch snowflakes on my tongue. :)

Yep, it is going on 4AM here! We are trying to stay up so we actually sleep on the flight back. I have to be reallllllly tired to sleep on a plane, I am too tall so I am rarely comfy!

My tumblarity has been SUCKING lately, it’s ok though. I don’t really deserve much, I have been packing and trying to do as much as possible in these past few days in Ireland.

For those of you who have been following through out this journey- Thank you. It is so nice having some where to go to discuss things. Especially in the beginning, when everything was so new and exciting!

Ohhh the holidays are here! I forgot, I have been so caught up in everything else…

SO, If you could have one thing changed in the world what would it be?

For me it would be to be able to stop the hate in the world… I thought about it, and there wouldn’t be any bad that came out of that!

Well tonight was a crazy night! We rented out the village hall for our going away party! (We still have 9 days!) But we thought we would celebrate early!

So, we have fun doing that, approximately one bottle of wine later I am wearing mustaches (in honor of late mo-vember) and go back to my room to get dressed nicer! One dress and a pair of high-ass-wedges are my look of choice, we go out to a few clubs. My roomie is never really into dancing or staying out late. She totally throws off my groove ;)! I just like staying out late, and she always looks miserable! I just wish she would let loose and not think about tomorrow for one night! She makes me feel bad. But oh well.

Europeans are so down with sex it’s crazy! I consider myself a pretty conservative girl, and I was talking to my Irish friend who was making out with this guy. I kept saying “Oh your man is coming over to talk!” and she’s like, he’s not my man. He is just a guy. Apparently making out is no big deal, kinda made me sad in a way. It is funny how I appreciate something so little, where as they just look at is the way I do with shaking hands, or hugging. I know a lot of people who are just make-out whores, but the way they were doing it, so convincing that they were just so in love. When I kiss a guy, it means I am interested. I kind of like to be hard to get, so if you get a kiss from me- consider yourself special ;).

I was also kinda mean to my boyfriend today. I suppose I am just in this bittersweet mode. I only have one final left, one more week here in Ireland. I feel like I haven’t even begun to enjoy everything it has to offer. Where did the time go? But Christmas is something to look forward to, I kinda wish I was coming back after Christmas though. What is my life going to become? Wow, alcohol makes me deep and emotional. I better get off tumblr, and into my bed ASAP! ;)

Love you all

Good night

This morning my best friend who came to visit me left. :( I already miss her ^. I have been thinking about how ready I am to get back in the states, and back to reality. List of things to do when I get back- Move into new apartment! (YAY) NYC trip to agencies Get a job with ModCloth again, maybe model more for them too Try to do well in school Begin and run my official website Get modeling work! Or acting work! Start making youtube video song covers with my boyfriend :) You have that to look forward to. CHRISTMAS! :D I will be home for Christmas, how exciting is that!? Christmas is my favorite time of the year, it is magical. So, now I have to study for finals. I have three weeks left in Ireland and I need to work my ass off so I can pass all these classes. Blah blah blahhhh. I will also probably spend wayyy too much time in the Dark room as a means of procrastinating lol. Sooo ladies and gentlemen, what have you been up to?

Most likely when this blog post actually posts I will be in Temple Bar. Which is an area in Dublin where all the cool pubs are, with the best live music. However, there is also a bar called Temple Bar which is really cool.

This trip is with my best friend Krystle who came to visit me for the week. She is leaving on Monday so I am trying to pack in as many things before that day comes. Class is over for the semester!! AHHHH, now just three weeks of studying, escaping to the dark room, and taking finals! lol Good stuff.

After those long three weeks I will be coming back to the states. I cannot believe my trip is already coming to a close. The weird part is, I think I am ready to come back. I miss my family, my life, my cash flow, MY BED, my boyfriend, and all of my friends! The best way to describe how I feel is that: I will be coming back to reality. This trip has been like a dream, like my whole life was on hold while I came here.

Yea, that’s really all I have to say today. Not looking forward to sleeping in a hostel, the beds are shit, and the roomies are freaking loud! Oh well, I haven’t slept well for days! No time! Talk to you when I return! :-D

Hey everyone!

This weekend was crazy!! On Friday we went out, and had some fun at a pub on campus! Then got up early Saturday for a tour around the Ocean and to the Cliffs of Moher! They were absolutely amazing! Ireland is so gorgeous, my pictures do not even do it justice.

On Sunday we got up early again and headed south to the Blarney Castle (and stone) and a city called Cork. The castle was so cool and old, it was very difficult to get up to the top- but what a view when you did!!! Yes, I kissed the Blarney stone, and yes it was scary bending backwards to kiss it, and yes it smelled like urine. I don’t care if people pee on it because they hate tourists, I freaking kissed the one and only Blarney stone! lol Haha, I’m brave I know. ;)

So, here are some pictures from my travels from a bus and walking, all for my lovely followers. :} Random fact for you my dears- I am minoring in Photography. My goal with photography is not to be the best, but cameras fascinate me, film is my favorite. But I think the competition to take pictures is rather ridiculous, so I just do it for fun.

:) We are in the process of planning some other trips while we are in Europe.

Any suggestions?
