Hello!
Sorry for my recent hiatus. It's been a rough transition into the last quarter of school and my quality of life hasn't really been something worth sharing. I've discovered that what I describe as "pretending" really stems from wanting experiences that are financially just beyond reach. None of us want to limit our experience because we're unemployed young adults. Our grasp exceeds our means. That being said, this life-style makes you go broke real fast.
"Pretending" is different than "pretentious." I don't pretend to be an expert about anything. I hope I don't induce any scoffs or eye-rolls. I just want to grow up one new experience at a time.
As for the things on my plate at the moment, I'm focusing on preparations for my senior recital and the stress that accompanies it. I don't like planning. Or thinking about the future in any way. I find that it stresses me out. Normally, I have no problem not thinking about the future. With the end of college approaching and "future plans" being everyone's go-to topic of conversation though, I am forced to do it.
Also, an unwillingness to think about the future results in a deficiency in financial planning. Did I mention I need a job? Badly? But not until after my recital.
My goal for the moment: regain some peace of mind. Take time for little things. Nothing is worth freaking out about. I promise.
These pictures are from my summer road trip to the Tetons and Yellowstone. Such a beautiful place...just looking at the pictures make me more relaxed.

No eye rolls here.... I've really been enjoying your posts! I'm so glad you're able to separate yourself from the oboe sometimes and have other interesting things to talk about--I was never able to do that while I was in school.
Good luck with preparations for your recital. I hope it's fun!!
