Calm and Cool

Have you ever just sat with your window open and listened to the rain? Personally, it is one of my most favorite things! I wish I could take a picture of the amazing downpour out my window right now, but it wouldn't be clear. Tonight I was lucky enough to actually be home and able to enjoy the rain! After being a big pain in the butt and putting in three reports for a screen in my window, it was finally put in. Now my window can be open without bugs and leaves flying in. My favorite relaxation activity is doing my reading homework in bed while listening to the rain. Another bonus with the rain is wearing rain boots. Unfortunately mine have recently ripped :(. I'm too poor to buy new ones, so they'll be on my birthday list.

Speaking of birthday....MINE IS IN 13 DAYS!!!! I'll be 22!!! The most depressing age so far in my life of birthdays. It means no more privileges to look forward to on future birthdays. I'm sorry, that is a lie. I believe at 25 you can rent a car, so that's something to be excited for! It's official though, I'm an adult. The real world is coming in about 7 1/2 months. Going to enjoy college while it lasts! Grad school will not be the same experience.

On the subject of birthdays, here are some of the items on my wish list/ to buy list for this fall once I have money. Of course, I am requesting no presents this year since I'm so old. Parents, here are some hints if you so happen to need any ;). Just realized how many shoes are on my list...

1. Gold leaf bangle bracelet from Bip and Bop on Etsy

2. Steve Madden "Troopa" in Stone Leather

3. Name necklace like this one, can be found on Etsy. 

4. Gift card to MAC for some new lipsticks!

5.  Steve Madden "Olympiaa" in taupe...my #1 most wanted gift!

6.  Sperry "Pelican Too" rain boots in quilted black

7. Also, a new camera! Mine has been broken since last March. I want an updated one that takes quality photos and has cool settings.
