This is for anyone who, like me, couldn't attend Coachella to see this live! It's still pretty damn amazing, even through a computer screen.

A mix tape that is bound to make you smile

"It takes courage to be willing to meet myself over and over again, seeing in my own face more beauty and grace and ability to love than I had hoped for, more judgment and impatience and need than I had feared. I forget that it does not matter how far or fast I move, but only how much of myself I take along for the journey." Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Sometimes I need to remind myself that even though life can be hard at times, I need to stay optimistic. It's incredible how telling yourself "today is going to be a good day" makes such a difference. I have to remind myself that there are so many people, opportunities, and beautiful things in life that I need to be thankful for, all of the time. I am surrounded by so much love, even when I'm drowning in stress. I'm alive and I need to be grateful for that. One of my favorite things in life is meeting new people and getting to know them. If any of you bloggers out there would like a pen pal, let me know! I'd absolutely love it!

My birthday is coming up next month and I have a feeling that my 22nd year of life is going to be the best one yet. I hope everyone is having a great week so far and here's my mix tape! I hope it makes you smile like it does me!

I don't know about you, but I tend to let things stress me out the most during the week since I'm running around trying to get things done for my classes. I try to remind myself to calm down and relax a little during the week to keep my head from exploding. I made this mix to aid the relaxation process! I hope you like it!

The Wilderness Downtown

If you haven't already, you need to visit The Wilderness Downtown. It's a touching interactive film that might just make you cry. It's also the music video to Arcade Fire's The Wilderness Downtown. I love it. (Thanks for sharing this with me, Eric!)
