unabridged dictionary of the sensations "as if"

hello!! i just finished my mock exams today so that is good. i got out 3 movies from the 90s - election, rushmore, and empire records - in celebration of the end of mocks and in preparation for my 90s themed party next week for my 18th (my actual birthday is on sunday). idk about you but this year has just run away??? it's practically halloween. i honestly don't know where it went and i can remember writing my turning 17 post like it was a few months ago. i don't feel like i've made that much growth this year, but i probably have, in subtle ways. last year feels distant and close at the same time. 

i'm eating pringles and i'm glad that it's getting lighter. i only have 4 weeks left of high school??? time moves fast.

i have an insane amount of books and magazines on my desk to read. this is the opposite of a problem, i know. it's comforting having them there, even if time won't allow me past the front cover. i'm currently reading The Elegance of the Hedgehog and i cannot recommend it enough. every single sentence is agonisingly beautiful and profound.

i bought most of these in france

i can't believe i haven't mentioned this but i am so in love with fka twigs and i have also been enjoying cherry glazerr and blood orange if you were wondering.

things i have been enjoying lately:

1. apples (i never used to like apples)
2. making studying aesthetically pleasing with japanese stationery?

despite appearances this was a terrible night for studying i just COULDN'T and i crammed like crazy on the bus

3. pencil eyeliner
4. cool freaks wikipedia club (it's a facebook group and you should totally join)
5. the band slow magic

                                


here are some more france photos as promised - from day 2 - one of the best days. after we went to montmartre we went this french guy's tiny apartment, after running through the rain - 10 of us in this small space, eating french desserts, drinking cider ~

look so racially ambiguous here

one of my favourite photos i've taken

PARIS METRO AESTHETIC FTW

METRO STATION FROM AMELIE !!!

what the fuck right

i went to one of the young ambassador's houses last last weekend and as i was about to leave i spotted these really beautiful books and i had no time to look at them probably but 

any recommendations on what to do before i turn 18? i've somewhat made peace with having not done certain things
