New Favorite song: Hello My Old Heart

I'm a free soul when it comes to music. 
I'm not the type that sticks with one genre or type I guess. 
What I listen to purely depends on my mood: 

Calm/Laid Back: Acoustic, Indie Folk, R&B 
Pump Up: Hip Hop, mostly popular songs that are on the radio and Rap
Mad or Work out music: Dubstep, remixes, etc. 
My ultimate favorite song since third grade is Island in The Sun by Weezer.

------------------------------------------------------

      You know those days were theres just so much going on you don't have a second to slow down. A moment to catch your breath. An hour to relapse and refocus. Today was one of those days.  I was back in a full day of school for the first time this week and could barely focus. Not many people know this about me but I recently got tested for ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) which is when you have a really hard time focusing or paying attention. I found out I have a mild form. Knowing this doesn't set me back, but only pushes me to do better. I am no different then any one else, it's just a lot harder to focus and learn. School's never been my strong point and now I just know why. However, this sadly is no excuse to slack off. Being unfocused me, all of school today I was just wishing I could be snuggled up on the couch with my dog watching "The Carrie Diaries" which happens to be my new number one new obsession. I don't usually have time to watch TV but I will make an exception. If you haven't heard of the Carrie Diaries, its a new show that just started up with Anna Sophia Rob who plays Carrie Bradshaw. Ring any bells? Yes, you have heard that name before, Carrie Bradshaw is from Sex and the City silly! This show is the prequel of it and it's literally so good. It seems to be replacing Gossip Girl in my life. As they say, "When one door closes another opens" right? As it turned out when I got home I didn't even have time to relax or watch TV. I had to finish all my homework and make up work and then burn Simply Sanders CD's with pictures on them for people and deliver them. Then I walked around Cherry Creek and ate a little, took my outfit of the day pictures, and drove home feeling absolutely exhausted and sick like the few days before. I drove home on the highway with the windows down and no music. It was nice to hear the whistling wind and silence of the street. To feel the chilly breeze on my cheeks and twinkly red break lights. It helped me calm down a little somehow... so yeah. I don't expect anyone to read everything I just wrote because I'm babbling but it's nice to get words out onto paper. I hope everyone's day was full of beauty and not as busy and bitter as mine. Good Night!

Lazy Day


BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! was the terrific sound that rang through my ears at 6 am this morning. I unconsciously searched around for my alarm clock and hit snooze. Thankfully my headache had vanished but I still felt crummy. I picked up my phone and tapped on ‘Mama Bear’ to call my mom.She quietly answered.“Mom, should I get up?” I murmured. “I think you should sleep and see if you feel better later today” she said. I clicked my phone shut and pulled 


the blankets back around me to fall back asleep. When I woke up a few hours later, the first thought that popped in my head was how much I was probably missing at school. My school is honestly so hard and I’m not exaggerating. Its one of the top schools in the nation that prepares kids for college and has some of the most difficult curriculum. Knowing this, I was not looking forward to the quizzes and work I’ll have to make up. Other than taking a super hot shower and working on photos and what not, I basically laid in bed all day. I’m so utterly exhausted, physically and emotionally. I know that tomorrow is a new day though and I’ll feel better from the rest I’ve gotten, I’m just taking it one step at a time. Wish me luck! 


Back 2 Bloggin'


 

Finally, I am back to having time to push letters from my keyboard onto my blog again. This weekend I didn’t have time nor access to my computer because I was up in the mountains with my school for a Student Senate retreat. If you don’t know what that is, Senate is like student government or the student board at my school. I ran last year and if I choose to do it again this year I’ll post pictures of my campaign! 

Any way, yes, the past few days have been very busy! I was up in the mountains (Aspen) and watched the X-GAMES which was a super cool experience. It made me wish I was really good at skiing or snowboarding. The tricks those people throw are honestly so amazing. They make it look so easy! It was fun to do that with the kids in Senate, some of which are my really good friends, others I got to know. On Sunday, I had to be home before 1 pm to go to a charity tea, so I left with a few friends at 8 am. It was pretty brutal considering I got about 30 minutes of sleep the night before. The charity tea was fun but I was not in the mood to be there knowing I had to do a bunch of homework when I got home. Ironically, I didn’t even end up doing because I fell asleep early that night. Yesterday, I left school after fifth period because I could barely keep my eyes open. I went home and crawled right into bed and slept until dinner. I figured I should probably get my homework done because I’ve been putting it off and of course I got a migraine. So last night I forced myself to deal with 5 hours of throwing up, throbbing headache, lost vision and on and off chills. I don’t know why I get such severe migraines but if you don’t, consider yourself extremely lucky. Its like having the flu except ten times worse.

      Sorry I didn't post anything until now. This OOTD would be considered Wednesday's even though it's currently 3:21 AM and somehow I am still awake... I never sleep... I swear I am insomniac. Tomorrow morning is gonna be rough. But today was pretty average, I slept over at my friend Claire's last night because she just got home from being out of town so it was fun! At school I was so out of it until about 7th period, literally all day I just wanted to go home and curl up into a chair by the fire and watch Gossip Girl or start a new TV show. Does anyone have a show they're hooked on right now that I should start? Any way, I'm taking health for the new 2nd semester and I hope it'll be fun. One of my best guy friends is in it so I know we'll just mess around the whole time. After my long tiring school day, I went and adventured the cold prairies to photograph this. When I got back to the car my hands were so numb I could barely feel my finger tips touch the car door handle. I sat there rubbing them together as if I was a little eskimo lady in her igloo freezing to death. I am not a cold weather person at all; if you were to make me chose between the beach or mountains I would take the beach any day. I need the warmth and sunshine to feed my bubbly personality! So please, get warmer Denver! Or just snow for the rest of the month, but don't leave me in the dry brown coldness.

I'm a little weird...

I'm a little weird.....
Sometimes I think the pictures I post don't show my personality so here it is.
 I'm weird.
I have weird big bug eyes and I can make some pretty ugly faces.
I love to act silly and am being weird more than serious.
This is me:) 
























This year I've become so much more calm and just happy and less concerned with everyone and everything. Yes, I have those days where I seriously just want to be a complete bitch and have no one judge me for it, but most days I'm just happy-go-lucky and try to go with the flow of things. I was grounded for about a month and a half so I had a bunch of time on my hands and one night I just thought, "I'm gonna redo my room." I went to Home Depot and picked out sandy tan and ice blue paint, the blue is so light it almost looks white. Then I went shopping at Anthropologie (one of my most beloved stores, literally going to decorate everything in my house from there when I'm older) and bought bedding and pillows and little trinkets to add to the room. After I just went home and painted and got everything done in one Sunday night. I'm the type of person who can't leave things undone. I had to finish it! Set up, clean, everything put away. My room is so much more calm now and embraces my sense of living. Simple with bright touches and super bright.

New Years Resolutions

In no order- just things I want to work on:) 
- spend more time with my family 
- eat healthier 
- focus on school more than I am now and improve my grades 
- put all the time and effort into meaningful friendships in which I know I will keep for a long time, rather then trying to please everyone 
- be more active: try and go running, go to the gym, walk my dog, work out while watching tv etc. because I don't play sports and I know I'm not about to go pick up field hockey like I said I would last year 
- R E A D: For fun 
- be neat and organized, just kind of have a sense of calmness daily and go with the flow of life instead of being anxious or caught up in drama 
- try and travel a bunch 
- save money 
- embrace everything about myself and be ME 100% of the time

Starbucks Makes Everything Better


-OBEY-



            So I created this blog a few weeks ago when I was grounded and wanted to start posting on it but just kind of got busy with other things. But now, I'm finally picking it up and officially starting it! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Excited because this blog is purely going to be me. Plain and simple. You might think that sounds self centered but when I say that, I mean its just kind of where I'll be bluntly pouring my thoughts and posting the pictures that I don't on Instagram or Tumblr. Speaking of tumblr, I think I'm going to delete mine soon because I just never have time to do it anymore. I love it don't get me wrong and I'm so thankful for all my followers, but I feel like I'm letting them down. Its hard to keep up with everyone. So maybe, this blog will fill in the spaces. I wanted to create kind of a typical day in the life of Hannah. I'll post fashion, food, random stuff like that and see where it takes me! All I ask, is that if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it!
