The best thing about college is that trends, culture, and new ideas spread fast - it's easy to find new obsessions in a variety of different places. Here's a couple of things that I've been loving this week:
1. The Hunger Games movie
I read the books a while ago and while I wasn't as impressed with the movie as I wanted to be, I am totally infatuated with Jennifer Lawrence, the star of the movie. She is strong, she is capable, and she is entirely herself no matter where she is. I also love that she has a normal shaped body - she isn't stick thin, and she isn't a size 2 deemed "curvy." She's just normal.
2. M. Ward's "Magic Trick"
"It's like, now you see her, now you don't.
You think you're gonna get to know her but oh, now you won't.
She's got one magic trick, just one and that's it
She disappears."
3. All Italy related things
Two days ago I received an email telling me I had been "placed and confirmed" in Milan to study abroad in the fall. While I'm going to miss my friends and family terribly, I am so excited to get started planning and spend some time in one of the most beautiful cities in the world!
4. Summer, summer, summer
5. One Tree Hill
This week, One Tree Hill ended after 9 successful seasons on the air. One Tree Hill has been one of my favorite shows for many years now, and though it is cheesy and irrelevant to modern day pop culture and sometimes entirely too unrealistic, I love it, and it has taught me more than anyone probably realizes.
One of my favorite quotes comes from season six: "Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power. Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family and the quiet nobility of leading a good life. Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do. So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy because you deserve to be. Believe that."
Hope everyone's having a great week!
