Story Time! Early 2014-2015

 So, as promised in my last post, I am going to share a bit of my life from the seven years since I was last active. I'm sure I have no viewers left but that is hardly going to stop me! This photo here was taken probably about a month into 2014.

I left school in December of 2013 due to personal reason, this was also the time in which I abandoned this blog. Anyway, I took a bit of time for self-reflection before finally feeling stable enough to enter the workforce. It was nothing fancy, simply working the front counter at a fast food restaurant.

It was a fast paced job which honestly didn't help my anxiety in any way imaginable. Still, I stuck with it before ultimately deciding that going back to school would be the best route for me. It might seem odd as I had just come back from school a few months prior but this time around I made the decision to stay in my hometown.

This was a great decision as it gave me a support group while attending school; something I hadn't had the first time around.    

At the advice of my mom, I decided to take hairstyling. I will admit that I didn't have any sort of grand moment where I discovered this was my life's calling. It was fun and I did enjoy it. There were others in the class that seemed to live for hairstyling and I envy them, to find something that you love and can profit from is something beautiful.

I did come to genuinely enjoy cutting hair, while I could really leave the colouring and updo's to the others. This posed a bit of a problem because it is a hard thing to find a place that will hire you for just doing haircuts. 

I didn't let this get me down though, I finished school with honours and in high regard with my instructors. I met some great people and I did ultimately find a job within a few weeks of graduating. The job I found ended up being at a men's salon. 

There would be the odd client that would colour their hair but it was far and few between. I did eventually come to love doing short haircuts. I don't mind working with longer hair but working with shorter more 'masculine' cuts was where I found I had real talent.

I will get more into my life after school in later posts. It has been over five years since I graduated from hair school so there is lots more to tell. Instead I will leave you with some photos taken from my time as a student!

The above is probably from somewhere within my last month of schooling and the one below was taken at some point while I was in class, clearly after I had just coloured my hair purple.

School Day 2

Hey guys, today is my second day of school.  I only have one class today and it does not start until 11:40.  It feel so strange only having 2 hours of class, not that I'm complaining.

Anyway, here is what I will be wearing to classes today.

The sad part is that the most expensive item I'm wearing is probably the stockings.  The shirt was $1 and then painted and the skirt was found at a thrift store for $4.

Obituary Challenge

Hey guys I was tagged both by OddGhoulOut and by DaniDeathBiscuit for this Obituary challenge.  I wasn't sure what to write but after finding out the cost of my textbooks I'm pretty sure this may actually be how I parish so please enjoy and ignore my crappy writing skills.

The Rules:

1.  Link back to whoever tagged you. Done ^
2. Put these rules in your tag
3. Write an obituary about yourself (it can be as funny or as serious as you like)
4. Write a paragraph or two (or more if necessary) in length.
5. You may tag up to 10 people, and be sure to link them.
6. Have fun, because creative writing is one of the greatest joys in life!

Katelynn, aged 17, was found dead in her dorm room by her roommate yesterday morning.  It is believed that the cause of death was starvation.  She is not believed to have suffered of any eating disorders but instead to have simply run out of the money for food.  According to her friends she spent all of her student loans on the ridiculously high price of text books.  She will surely be missed by all of her friends, family, and large collection of plushies.

Her funeral will be held this upcoming Friday and her guests will be asked to sign a card stating “Look what you have done” that will be sent to the people in charge of pricing her textbooks.  She also left a note stating that she wishes to send an invitation to all of her Tumblr and Blogger friends so they can pay their respects to a truly brilliant mind.

I am going to break the rules and not tag anyone because I don't feel like it.  But I will leave you with a photo of what I wore to my first day of classes.

Cancelled All Plans and Taking a Lazy Day

So this morning when I got dressed I was planning on going out and doing stuff, but after spending most of the night awake thanks to drunk neighbours I realized I was far to tired to sit through boring seminars so I decided on another lazy day.

In other news I had a hangout date with the girl I met on tumblr.  It was a bit awkward but I kinda figured we would both be lacking social skills since we do both spend our lives on tumblr.  but we did seem to get along just fine, she has been having a hard time making friends aswell, she was actually happy that I contacted her.  So yay to the beginning of another friendship.

And since I actually got dressed this morning with the intention of going out I do have a picture worthy outfit for you guys.  You have seen this dress quite recently but the picture had been horrible so you are getting it again.  And in this picture you can see the kick ass boots I was planning on wearing.  I got them for $8 at a thrift store, was so excited!!

Casual, You're Doing It Right.

Guys I think this is a new record, posting three days in a row.  And not just posting three days in a row, but posting outfits three days in a row!!!  Okay so today I don't really have anything to do so I figured I would dress really casual since I'll only be going out briefly.  But I also didn't want to look like I was bumming around in lazy clothes while I went out so the simple solution for me is always leggings!!

Anywho the leggings have spider webs and skeletons on them which is pretty epic if you ask me.  I'm not a big fan of wearing leggings with t-shirts so I put the most comfortable skirt in existence over top of it, which happens to be hot pink(I love pink), and topped it off with my Bauhaus shirt.  Overall, I think I look pretty badass for a lazy day.

And I'm not sure if you guys figured it out from my rambling and over use of exclamation marks but I'm really happy today.  Why?  I just got into contact with someone on Tumblr that lives in my Res!  She appears to be a fangirl like me so hopefully it will mean a second friendship made here!!  I will keep you updated on my college experience and you will be getting lots of outfit shots because the lighting in this room is far better than my room at home.

New friend + Outfit.

Hey guys, I would like to thank you for the lovely comments you have left on my last post.  And I have some news, I MADE A FRIEND!!!  Yup, that's right I have befriended a guy that lives on my floor and is in the same program from me.  It's only one person and we don't really have much in common but it's a start.

Oh and I have another outfit shot for you.  The lace shirt is the one I bought at a thrift shop a while back.  And the dress was bought on sale at the end of last summer for around $10.  This outfit is super comfy.

And a close up to show the pattern of the lace and my pretty necklace.

I'm still here guys.

Hey guys, I just wanted to leave a message of sorts so you know I am still kicking around in the world of blogging.  I've been busy and will continue to be busy with life.  I just moved into my Dorm for the year and I am trying to find friends so that means I have been going to most of the events hosted by my school.  So far I haven't had much luck with making friends, my roommate hasn't moved in yet so hopefully I will have a friend in her.

Making friends really can be quite difficult for me since I am really shy, but i have managed to have some friendly conversations with people so I'm sure I'll have a friend or two in no time.

And here have a random picture of me from today.  The lighting in my room is great so you may be getting a lot of outfit shots!
