Cinderella, Don't You Go to Sleep, It's Such a Bitter Source of Refuge

So this was my first photo shoot by myself on a college campus. Our campus is beautiful, but I was having a hard time finding a place that wasn't surrounded by people. I know that lots of bloggers take their own photos, and don't care who's looking, but I'm not quite there yet. So I took photos around 10ish, and there were a surprising number of people out and about, so I found a large, ugly cement wall. I'll get better at this, I promise. I'll slowly become less self-conscious. And these pictures were not taken with Kelsey's camera, so they are not as nice, but they're more Allison style.
This is why I love College: 
-My 8 am was cancelled
- I got to leave a class 35 minutes early because here you're allowed to LEAVE when you finish tests! excellent.
- I go to class right next to my dorm, so I can rush home and put my sweats on to sit on my bed and finish my homework. 
- I can blog at any hour of the day. Even during class. But I hate people who do that, so.. not really. but the possibility is still there!
-My parents came to visit and they bought me sushi and took me shopping. My favorite things. 
-I can control the thermostat, and make it really cold at night so I can snuggle with my blankets.
life is good.

A Week in the Life

(Dress: Kohl's, Shoes: Modcloth)
This was the song I sang at my graduation. 

Oh, have I mentioned that I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL?! I can no longer be a high school drop-out! And only two years more and I can no longer be a pregnant teen. Life's going well. Oh, and fun fact, the gowns we were wearing cannot be washed or dry cleaned...huh.

The necklace I got for graduation from my godparents. Gorgeous. :))


 I spent a lot of time messing with the shutter speed on my camera. I thought these were cool.
