Back To The Basics

writing is something I do some what okay. music is something I have an unreal passion for. i have decided today to share with you the music that can really start an addiction. i enjoy the music you can hear on the Vans Warped Tour. the genre's specifically are pop-punk, american rock, post-hardcore, and metalcore. now, those may seem a tad bit scary but, i promise you it isn't. these artists specifically got me into this type of music.

artists including Fall Out Boy, Brand New, and The Wonder Years are enjoyed by a large crowd, have a couple of hits make radio play, and are constantly making music.

something about fast, guitar ran music, and amazing lyrics really draw me in.
this playlist is for people who are looking to going back to the basics or are having a hard time finding artists in this genre they enjoy. of course not every band I enjoy made the playlist but once you like these artists, I feel like that is when you can branch out. these artists are not by any means basic, these artists are amazing and without them, this genre would not be the same.

Hello's & Goals x

Hi everybody! Starting fresh is always something that I always admired. The idea of reinvention really makes my heart flutter (as if it was a thing not an idea). School is almost over and I can feel summer as I hit snooze for the tenth time on my phone. The "stressful finals week" is upon me and it has me thinking of goals I need to achieve before summer is over. I guess here they are.

[1.] Getting my nose pierced.

Ever since I was a little girl I admired all the grown-ups I'd see on the street with a ring in their nose. I think constantly everyday , "man, this outfit would look rad with a nose ring," -seems silly but this is a struggle I go through constantly. Being still under my parents house rules, they have said no every single time. But, being the teenage girl I am I finally convinced them to let me get it! All I have to do is find a shop where I like the work the most and seem comfortable in. While I wait I just watch videos of people getting them and practically gleam.

[2.] Buying and wearing accessories.

I am that girl who doesn't wear rings or necklaces on the daily. Going along with getting my nose pierced, I would like to start wearing rings and earrings. I used to have gauges but they had to be taken out because of sports (sigh). I also would like to buy some black chokers. I think they look so cute and some aa scrunchies.

[3.] Buying Chelsea Boots.

No need for explanation. I just need them. They are so cute. Gah.

[4.] Sunrise hike more often.

I am blessed to live in a place where the mountains are twenty minute drive away. I enjoy them so much and so do my friends. Seeing the city from the top is breathe taking and just the peaceful air is wicked.

[5.] Go to Tour de Fat

I'm pretty sure this festival is for beer tasting but everybody my age goes. You dress up in crazy outfits and it just sounds like fun.

[6.] Get Henna

This is pretty self explanatory but I would like to get it on my foot and up my leg. Just seems cool okay.

[7.] Eat Healthier

I'm pretty sure every teenage girl says this but I'm not doing it to become fit. I am a vegetarian currently and my parents rarely buy anything processed. At home I eat like this but when I am with my friends I am super bad. I would also like to try eating just fruit for a week just to see what the benefits are.

[8.] Go to Riot Fest

This is a huge 3-day music festival filled with every pop-punk's dream. A friend and I really want to go because we are just crazy fan girls. Even though the festival takes place in September, I still need to check this off my list.

That is it for you guys. I figure this is also something to add to my list. I want to keep this blog alive and I need to start reading more. I will keep you guys posted on when I tick these items off my virtual list. I hope you go on this adventure with me! Remember that you are great and I love you.

Always remember to be your self.
