Riptide

Happy Monday all. If you follow my Butler blog, you know that most Mondays are Music Mondays, which means I write about a band or song that I want you to know about. Well, today is unintentionally a Music Monday.

Last night I was writing a post for U lala about bands I’m excited to see at Lollapalooza, and one of those bands was Vance Joy. I stumbled upon some of their music videos and really liked them, so here we are now. Vance Joy is an Australian singer-songwriter who has released one EP entitled God Loves You When You’re Dancing. I saw Vance Joy over spring break when he opened for Young the Giant, and since then I've heard his music pretty frequently.

Vance Joy’s most popular song is called, “Riptide,” and I stumbled upon the music video for this song yesterday. For some reason, this video tickles my brain. I think the song is fun too, but the video makes me like the song so much more. I just really enjoy it and think it’s clever, strange, and intriguing, so you should check it out.

Have a great week and thanks for reading :) 

I'm Back

Hello dear readers! As you can see, I am back posting on this blog. This blog was previously known as "You Know What I Did This Summer...," but I decided that I don't want to limit it to just summer happenings, so I changed the title. Here I will post random thoughts and observations I have, thus allowing you a peek into my brain.

I'm back and ready to rock.

Catch up on past posts until I get something riveting up here. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy :)

P.S. You can also catch up on my posts on my Butler blog or my posts on U lala. Woo!

Where I've Been

Happy Saturday to all! I haven’t posted in a really long time, and that is because I have been a tad busy. Let me fill you in on my life as of late.

If you follow me on Twitter, you would have seen I tweeted about writing for a blog called U lala. U lala is a fashion and lifestyle blog focused on college students and fun things to do around a college campus. I obviously write for the Butler branch, and am quite excited to contribute to this site. It is really pretty to look at and the posts range from music recommendations (like my Music Monday posts), to DIY crafts, to cool things to do around each school’s campus. Check it out. I promise you’ll like it. Here’s my first post for the site.

I was also busy this past week because I was back at Butler teaching an art camp. The camp was through the Butler Women’s Volleyball Camp that was going on. The kids played volleyball in the morning and then I had them for art in the afternoon. I was incredibly nervous going into the week because I had never taught art to anyone before, let alone a group of 16 seven to ten-year-olds. Luckily, all of the kids were super well behaved and loved all of the projects we did. A few of the kids told me I looked like Carly Rae Jepson, one girl drew me in her sketchbook, and a few others proudly exclaimed they loved art. Needless to say, it was a great week.

Now I’m back at home and anxiously awaiting my trip to Lollapalooza next week. I will definitely blog about that, so watch out if that interests you at all. I have also read some good books lately, so I will blog about those later in the week.

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend :)
