c'est la vie.

ended/began monday/tuesday with this: 

{a very new bottle of stila foundation toppled off my desk last night... sigh}

though it's a pain to replace, {the nearest ulta is 20 minutes away} a bottle of spilled foundation is not the worst thing that could have happened to me last night {even if it was just as i was turning off my light to wake up for my very early class in the morning}

if there's anything higher education has taught me, it's that ish happens. 

wandering

{hipster-fied photo of the trees from my walk today.}

whenever i feel like my head is about to {explode} with anxious thoughts, i take to the walking trails around campus.
today was so lovely, despite the cold, and i feel much less worried about my papers, my car, my friends, and my sometimes {seemingly impossible} life.

breathing is something i should remember to do more often.
