Graduation Gift Guide 2016

I might be a little late for this... but I think Graduation parties are still going on... so here are some gift ideas for grads.

Money is always traditional. That's probably the most helpful... but there are always other things you can get too.

If they're moving out/moving to college a Bed Bath and Beyond Gift Card would be very helpful. Or a Target gift card would be very helpful.

My friend got me a really nice jewelry box that said "I have everything I just need somewhere to put it" or something. That was cute.

You could do something cute and pinteresty like make a candy board or something. That would be fun!

It would be nice to buy them something you know they wouldn't buy themselves. That could be anything... but something you see and you know they would love... but you also know that they wouldn't get for themselves. Hard to decide, but I think that would be thoughtful and nice.

If they like a cartoon or have some sort of hobby... you could do something themed on that! I really like minions, so I got a lot of minion-gifts.

A thoughtful piece of jewelry with a memorable quote or something on it. My sister got me a necklace of a fortune cookie with a quote from Graham Moore on it. I thought that was sweet and clever because I want to write movies.

Electronics are very useful... but expensive. I wouldn't say to cheap out on a quality computer though... but that's just me. I've had bad experience with refurbished macs and I don't trust many other brands... so yeah. But iPads are a little cheaper... You could get them a fitbit because thats always great... so yeah.

Books are good, especially ones that are useful for getting jobs and things like that. There was a dad that got his daughter Oh The Places You'll go with a note from all of her teachers... thats the type of gift that could make you cry... but its great!

If they're super into planning, Erin Cordon planners or whatever her name is would be great!

And I think thats it... I kind of went through it last year when I did a "what I got for graduation" post... but yeah. I thought it would be useful to do something again.

Byee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
