MIDDLE AGED MONDAY

Posted on by
Standard

It’s that time of the year ladies and gentlemen. The premiere of the new season of Dancing With the Stars is on tonight and I am THRILLED! I’ve been a faithful follower of this show for years with my parents, and I creatively coined the occasion “Middle Aged Monday” due to the middle aged nature of the show. I mean seriously….how many twenty year olds say that watching DWTS on a Monday night is one of the things they look forward to? Not a whole lot. The only people who I know who like this show are old people and middle aged people. So if my deep love for it makes me an old lady at heart, then so be it. I’m ready for the new season. I’m ready for quality time with the parents, sipping on some Two Buck Chuck wine, and eating hella popcorn. I’m also ready for Bruno’s hilarious wit and flamboyant personality. He’s my spirit animal, I adore him! Have a great Monday night guys! And if you happen to indulge in Middle Aged Monday (aka MAM) shoot me a comment and let me know what you think of this seasons competition! -Sarah

My Hatred of High Rise

Posted on by
Standard

High rise everything! Will it never ever end?! I’ve always had a dislike for high rise for the sole reason that high waisted bottoms simply don’t look good on me. I have an extremely muscular booty and thighs from years of competitive figure skating, so my main issue is finding something that will fit over my junk in the trunk, but will still fit snugly over my tiny waist. So what happens is that I get a HUGE waist gap, my ass looks flatter than a pancake, and my crotch looks like it’s a million miles long! Seriously, is a twelve inch zipper really necessary? Jesus. All I want for fall is to find some nice, coated leather jeans in a normal rise fit. My old pair of coated jeans are getting warn to the seam and I’m in desperate need of replacing them. The zipper constantly falls down on them so for hours I can walk around unknowing that my fly is down! Not cute. At PacSun, where I work, EVERYTHING is high rise. Why can’t there be options? Why is only one body type being catered to? Because spoiler alert: high rise is NOT going to look good on everyone. Just like a crop top or a pixie haircut is not gonna look good on everyone. Can normal rise jeans be a thing again? Please? Ladies, where are some good places to shop for jeans? Leave me a comment if you have any favorite stores, and give me your opinion on the high waisted trend!
This is basically what my crotch looks like in high waisted anything. WHY IS THE ZIPPER SO LONG?!

Ugh. Can I fall asleep now or? I’m so glad I have the day off tomorrow, because I’m absolutely exhausted! I’ve been laying in bed for about three hours now trying to make myself tired….but obviously I haven’t been successful. -_____- Do any of you guys have any good tips on falling asleep? If so, don’t be a stranger! Please share!!! Sweet dreams to all! -Sarah

Moral dilemmas on deck

Posted on by

So I work at PacSun, and I recently got promoted to full time assistant manager. I thought I wanted the promotion…but it turns out I don’t think I do so much anymore:/ I just wanna go to school. So badly. And I plan on starting in October at Tri-C to get my associate of arts degree. Is it bad that I’m gonna put in my two weeks at work this week to focus on school? I don’t think so. I think I need to be selfish. And not give a fuck about what people at my stupid job think. I think it’s my time to go, and start doing something this isn’t a shitty retail job. I need something more. And I’m not gonna get it working forty hours a week at a fucking mall and calling it a career. Ugh. So stressed. So depressed. But forever well dressed. ;))

Just a standard blog post:

It was an alright Sunday today. Sunday Bloody Sunday. I’m trying to hype myself up as best as I can and try to cheer up a bit, but damnit, sometimes it’s so hard. I’ve been having a really rough time sleeping lately. This is gonna sound so lame but I’ve had to have my mom sleep in my bed these past few nights. Jesus. I’m 20 fucking years old and I still need my mom there to help me sleep. Having her there has brought me such great comfort though. Without her my mind races a mile a minute, my heart beats like a drum, and I feel like bugs are crawling all over me. Fuckin anxiety man. It’s funny to me that my blog was originally supposed to be about fashion and music, but I’ve definitely been steering more towards posts about my mental health. It makes me feel better though. So I guess fashion and music can wait. Here’s to hoping I get some good sleep tonight and have a relaxing day off of work tomorrow. I’m extremely thankful for a Monday off! Have a great nights guys. Make your Monday amazing tomorrow. I’m gonna try my best to do just that! Love- Sarah

Emotional. WHAT OF IT?

Posted on by

Have you ever felt like your world is spinning? Just spinning. Spinning. Like it’s gonna swallow you whole and sweep you off into a whirlwind of shitty feelings, dark thoughts, and an abyss so deep and ominous that the only thoughts you can let yourself think is how in the fuck you’re gonna get yourself out. I guess that’s what I’m going through tonight. Or have been going through for a while. It’s hard when your emotions are either so insanely happy to the point that it’s almost manic to so incredibly sad to the point that you can’t even get out of bed. I’m so thankful for this blog. That’s a dumb thing to be thankful for…actually I take that back. It’s not at all. When I write about how I’m feeling, I feel like the cinder block constantly pushing down on my chest…weighing me down with constant anxiety, depression, and paranoia is slightly lifted. Only a few millimeters at most….but enough that I can breath a bit easier. Enough that the thoughts in my head aren’t sprinting at a million miles per hour but slowed down to a more leisurely pace of nine hundred thousand nine hundred and ninety nine miles per hour. So shout out to this blog. Shout out to writing. Shout out to sharing. Shout out to feeling a smidgen better than before. Shout out to you for reading this. Have an amazing night. Be smart. Be safe. Be HAPPY. Love and good thoughts – Sarah

There are good ships, there are bad ships….

Posted on by

But the best ships are friendships. Duh. My best friendship of over six years with my sweet Miss Lea is probably one of the best things that ever happened to me. I’m so lucky that we were in freshman year English class together, because it was the only class we had together during our entire high school career. Meeting her probably would have been impossible if otherwise, since we had different friend groups, lunch schedules, and extra curricular activities. In the entire duration of our friendship we’ve never had one argument, disagreement, lovers spat, quarrel, or whatever you wanna call it. We respect each other way too much to ever be hurtful to each other. I don’t think many people can say that about others. Both of us our blessed with the gift of making literally anything fun. We can lay in my bed and talk for hours on end and still find things to talk about. We’re so comfortable with each other that we can be as silly as we want and find it the most amusing thing in the world. Our next friendship milestone is finding the perfect best friend tattoos. However this is easier said than done. So if any if you have ideas for a unique friendship tattoo, please let me know! This is me publicly announcing how much I love my best friend. Here’s to a million more years of friendship!

Saturday bloody Saturday;)

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a day off with my mom. I’m 20 years old but I’m still such a baby when it comes to my parents. I treasure my time with them like no other. My mom is amazing. She’s a developmental pediatrician and the work she does for the families and her special needs patients is really something to be commended for. Some of the stories she comes home with are truly heartbreaking. I remember one time she told me about a little boy she saw with developmental problems who got taunted by his classmates because his mom passed away. How can children be so cruel? Jesus Christ. But I digress, my mom and I are best friends. Which is awesome because I used to despise her. We can delve into that later. We spent the entire afternoon together cooking and baking and it was a fantastic time. It’s a memory I’m gonna cherish for forever. My dad is a cool guy too. I’m a total daddy’s girl. He’s way more quiet than my mom, but that just makes everything he says more affective. It makes his praise more significant, his jokes more funny, and his occasional angry comments more devastating. Because my dad can be a tough critic, I do everything I can to make him proud of me. God knows I try. It can get frustrating not feeling good enough though. It really makes you question your self worth, that’s for sure. I’m excited because we’re gonna watch The Shawshank Redemption tonight. He’s been insisting that I watch it since I never have, so it should be fun! Such a solid day off! My parents bring me infinite joy, and I’m so thankful to have them.
