Good afternoon!
Well, it is a rainy afternoon here in the Crescent City and when that happens I usually switch in between Sam Smith and Adele. Something about their voices just really gets me through the storm.
So, today I wanted to share one of my favorite Sam Smith's songs, which I probably already have, but please enjoy it again! I know I will for the millionth time : )

Oh hello again!
First off, let me start off by saying, I think this is the most I have blogged consecutively in some years! Shout-out to me and lets keep this momentum going!
March 2020. I can't even begin to put into words how I was feeling, but that is not going to stop me from trying! I remember it like it was two seperate months. The first half, was me cleaning out my new space, moving in, and being so excited about it. The second half of it was me moving back in with my aunt and uncle and absolute terror of what was happening in the world.

| Moving in! |
Meeting my new neighbor, Polka Dot : )
 |
| Really was out here thinking I could stand for 8.5 hours a day. Long gone are those days! |
Clearly, I had a lot of thoughs swirling through my head in March. But, despite the world descending into chaos, looking back at the pictures I took, there some beautiful moments.
 |
| Siani sent me an absolutely stunning drawing she did of me! |
 |
| The city was still beautiful despite slowly being shut down. |
 |
| I got a bike! For super cheap too, since they kicked out all the students super suddenly. But, that is a discussion for another day. And the memes, of course, were all too relatable around this time!   I also tried my hand at online dating, and it went as well as you might expect. These three memes below sum up exactly how I was feeling. And the beginning, middle, and end of my online dating tries.    In conclusion, March 2020 was one that I will not soon be forgetting anytime soon. Welp, until next time!

Hello again!
It's truly been forever since I've done a Music Monday, I think it has been about a year actually (I wonder what was going on this past year?!), but Olivia Rodrigo's album has inspired me to bring it back!
It is no secret that I'm still very much a teenage girl dealing with a lot of angst surrounding boys, so this album was the perfect kick-off to a post-ish pandemic summer and a reminder to take it easy at the bars, cuz Lord knows I do not need to go through this pain that Olivia is going through.
God bless baby girl, it gets better! And then worse, and then slightly worse, and then much better again! Enjoy this very terrifying yet, exhilarating waterslide (truly waterslides are scarier then rollercoasters, but we aren't ready to have that discussion yet) we call life : )
Now, enjoy one of my favorite songs from the album, 1 step forward, 3 steps back:

Hello again!
Back again with another pandemic post. Man, February of 2020 was so much fun! I had more friends come to visit, I was going apartment hunting, I picked up some part time work, and Mardi Gras was in full effect! I was so excited for this Mardi Gras season, because I had friends that knew the lay of the land and let me tag along with them, so to say the very least it was the best!
I truly can't even begin to describe the energy that is Mardi Gras. It sets up the whole year and makes it feel like it's going to be a success. There is no break in New Orleans, because as soon as Mardi Gras ends, you are rolling right into festival season and that stays jam packed until the holidays come back. I remember still just being so excited around this time of year and of course, eating a ton of king cake, and looking forward to everything that was on the horizon.
