happy monday, this is March.

Today is Monday. As someone on twitter put it, 

#tru

Besides the whole "monday" thing, my life is pretty great. I got into the college of my dreams, I signed up for great classes, found a rad roommate, and now all I have to do is wait! ...and live up senior year because it should be one of the greatest years of my life and I shouldn't just breeze through it, I should appreciate all that I have while I can, yadadada. I've heard that so many times that I could probably recite a 5 minute speech with different reasons why I shouldn't rush through my last few months of being a senior and living at home. But I won't, because that'd be a pretty weird way to spend my time.

ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, it's MARCH! For those living not in Minnesota, march probably means sunshine, warm weather, and SPRING. 

NOT FOR ME THOUGH.

Oh no. Here in Minnesota, the snow is still taller than me. It really truly is bigger than me. I'm 5'2, and in some places there's around 6 feet of snow. 

THAT 

IS 

RIDICULOUS. 

For me, March brings a few different things. Warm weather not being one of them. 

1. March is the beginning of the 3 month long adventure of spring cleaning.

So, I have a pretty messy room. And when I say messy, I mean MESSY. But the thing is that it's not clutter or garbage or anything other than clothes....SO WHAT IF I HAVE A LOT OF CLOTHES. March is the time that I finally start doing all my laundry that I have neglected to do all winter. But this spring is extra special, because guess what? Dorms are TINY. And I am not about to bring ALL of my clothes out to college with me, or else I would LIT.ER.AL.LY be swimming in clothes. So, this spring I am going through all of my clothes and getting rid of a majority of them. Maybe I'll have a garage sale. Maybe I'll just give my old clothes to friends or goodwill or my little sister. I don't know. All I know is that by the end of April, my wardrobe will probably be cut in half. Which is technically very good, but I just can't stop thinking of how many clothes I will have to give away. A quote from the great book Perks of Being a Wallflower depicts how I am feeling nicely.

"...I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."

2. MARCH BRINGS SPRING BREAK(s)!

Since I take most of my classes at North Hennepin, but still have one at the high school, I get TWO SPRING BREAKS. Or no spring breaks. But I'm trying to be positive, so I GET TWO SPRING BREAKS! 

North Hennepin's spring break is March 8th-16th, during which I still have choir. Maple Grove's spring break is March 29th-April 6th, during which I will still have my college classes. Even if I still have some school responsibilities during each of my spring breaks, it's not as much as I usually have, so I still plan on relaxing and watching a lot of netflix. 

Personally, I think we should have another Christmas this spring break, because spring break feels more like winter break than winter break did.....which obviously means that we should celebrate Christmas again. I don't know. Just a thought.

3. MARCH BRINGS OTHER THINGS! 

Although it's freezing outside, March is the month that most stores begin to put out their spring clothes. SO MANY ADORABLE CLOTHES THAT I REALLY SHOULDN'T BUY. Oh, what's new.

4. Last great thing about March: MY MOM WAS BORN THIS MONTH! I love my mom.

5. ALSO MY BEST FRIEND COREY WAS BORN THIS MONTH TOO! happy birthday bae.

ALSO, HERE'S SOME MUSIC YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO! 

This song is called Sonnentanz - Sun Don't Shine. It's originally by Klangkarussell (what a mouthful) and Will Heard, but my favorite version of this song is this Acoustic version, done by Will Heard & the lovely and ridiculously talented supermodel Cara Delevingne. Turns out the girl can sing too. That's just not fair.

Well, until next time, my dear friends.

XOXO, 

gabs.
