Music Monday: Colours (Captain Cuts Remix) - Grouplove

In my opinion, this is one of those rare instances in which the remix is better than the original song. Dont get me wrong, Grouplove is great, but theres something about this mix that makes it imposs...

Leavin on a Jet Plane

I booked my flight today! Its hard to spend so much money all at once (my flight ended up costing $467.32) this close to Christmas, but with all the scholarship notifications Ive gotten recently Im p...

BETWEEN Happy and Haggard

Let me just go ahead and warn you that this whole post is whining and complaining and you should honestly probably just skip it. I just needed somewhere to relieve a little tension. So, before I get ...

Come Again Another Day

After getting in around 10:30 on Sunday night, yesterday was our first full day in the Keys. Not that Im complaining. It stopped pouring shortly after this and I had an awesome conch chowder at a res...

A Better Bee

I may or may not have forgotten to mention that I will be studying abroad at the Université dAngers from January to June of 2012. Its weird how I go from being 100% high-pitched-squeal-and-jumpin g-up...
