February 28

Sometimes a little change of scenery is exactly what the doctor ordered, so today we made a mini road trip down to Ventura and Ojai, and we came across this amazing lake. We stopped approximately 4.5 times, forgot to bring 2 cameras, got in 1.5 almost car accidents, bought 6 things at an amazing bakery, and came home with just 1. Wonderful afternoon.

My friend Emily Xiao is so beautiful it amazes me every day... especially today!

February 26

On the search for a coffee shop with actual places to sit... the clouds were incredible!!

February 25

Best. day. ever.

February 24

Taste of Africa... YUM. So much fun!!

February 23

Went for my first run since the half marathon today... it was way too difficult! I guess I shouldn't stay away from running for longer than a few days if I don't want to hate it :) Although it might have also had to do with the fact that it was super hot and I was wearing a sweatshirt. Either way, it was such a beautiful morning!

February 22

Well first of all I'd like to give a little birthday shout out to Allison Marie Fickett and Matthew David Polizzi - if you're reading this then I hope you had an incredible 21st birthday! And my dearest Miss Laura Pochowski is turning 20 in half an hour - so much celebration!! Unfortunately today was filled with classes and library time, so my photo was put off until just recently, resulting in this weird light squiggle. Ten bucks to anyone that can guess what it is!

February 21

I feel like I've been in my car a lot this weekend...

February 20

Home for the weekend, so I did a little photo shoot with the adorable Toby :) He was sitting on his little throne and the sun was coming in the window, so he looked as cute as ever!

February 19

I love when it rains because the clouds always look AMAZING!

February 18

IT IS SO WINDY TODAY!! I woke up early to pack and shtuff before going home, so I ran outside to catch the sunrise and I almost got blown over! But it's supposed to start storming soon, so the sky is beautiful and the ocean looks angry and awesome. I went over to the bluffs and I couldn't quite capture how beautiful the clouds were on the horizon...












But so many birds were floating on the wind, it looked so peaceful and beautiful I wish I could have been up there with them!

February 17

Tonight I had a self defense workshop for my girls... although this picture is a little blurry, I think it's hilarious to see 20 girls practicing how to knee a guy in the balls. Or excuse me, testicles. Love it :)

February 16

My home from freshman year... so nostalgic, it was good to be back for a few hours, and the moon was gorgeous!

February 15

Today was gloomy for the first time in a few months, and I actually loved it. I love the color of the ocean when it's about to rain, and I love that campus point is only about a minute walk away from my room.. despite the fact that this place gave me a minor concussion last year, hah.

February 14

My fantastic mother is, appropriately, the last one of my "photos from other people" section of the blog. Since I am definitely a save-the-best-for-last kind of person, I chose this photo. Nothing totally incredible about it, except for the fact that she and the rest of the fam sent me a big package full of Valentine's and it made me so happy!! She is the best and I love and appreciate her more every day.

February 13

Let me tell you about Hannah Meade. She was my roommate freshman year, and she is quite the wild woman once you get to know her. However, she also has a super creative side, and she writes amazing poetry! She not only takes really cool pictures, but she has a knack for picking great ones that other people have taken as well. I'm not actually sure which category this falls into, but I love it anyway. Love you Banana!

February 12

My friend Matt goes to a little school called Dominican and makes me constantly jealous while I'm sitting through calculus and he is in drawing and photography classes... nonetheless I love when he puts up pictures on facebook for me to look through :) If only I had a Nikon so he could help me learn how to use my camera! This one is from a while back but I've always loved it.

February 11

My Aunt Lynette is one of the most amazing people ever. She also takes incredible pictures, and goes on really sweet little excursions whenever she feels like it. Here's a picture she took in Moab - all the red rock places remind me so much of my childhood because of houseboating on Lake Powell and I LOVE IT!

February 10

I feel like a cheater posting pictures I didn't actually take on the day I'm posting for, so I'm going to pick a few of my favorite photos other people have taken! I'll start with Aaron, since he re-inspired me! This is one of my favorites from his blog, day 168.

February 9

Today my friends came and supported the blood drive I was having, even though it wasn't the most fun thing ever, and I loved it. I tried to entice them by showing Twilight at the same time, but obviously it didn't really work for Jaimie.

February 8

I've been having quite the lack of inspiration lately, but my good friend Aaron (who I got the idea for this blog from in the first place) talked me into keeping up the hard work. You'd be surprised how difficult it is to try and take an amazing picture every day! So I'm going to make up for lost time some how and make an attempt to catch up. Lets travel back in time and pretend it's actually February 8. Yesterday I ran a half marathon, and I am extremely sore!! But I'm still totally high off of how awesome that accomplishment feels.

Back to Isla Vista... coolest mailbox ever.

February 6

So stoked!! Although at this point the inability to walk is starting to set in...

February 5

Taking a break from IV for our half marathon in Huntington!

February 4

It must be love.

February 3

Love all the beach entrances, so here's one :)

February 2

I'm so proud every time I go through this entrance to my school, it's amazing :)

February 1

Since most of my readers (all two of you, haha) don't go to UCSB, I have decided to start a little series of my favorite places in Isla Vista! So, appropriately, today is a streetlight on Pardall, where most of the delicious overpriced food is sold in our little town.
