College: The Survival of You

Hi guys, this is my second post to the college collab I'm doing with Denise so be sure to check her out too and lets get this started: 1# It's fine to not be fine I am naturally a more laid back person than hard working. Particularly because I was encouraged a lot to work hard at my studies and being a person who lets reverse psychology work on her, I tend to not heed that advice. This in turn was responded with more severe pressure and nagging that I could not deal and it made me sick and anxious and at one point pretty depress in the worse way. Now with going through a transition where I bear more responsibilities, I find myself really beating myself up. If anything college, pre-uni or university teaches you, its that you'll definitely meet people who are way better than you at the start of your first semester.

When he murmurs to me that I am his "one and only"? Was it when we exchanged promises one night? Tell me how could  have I known?...

Mum's Memories

So I was scrolling through some 70's inspired looks, vintage accessories and the sort. It then reminded me of Mum's old scrapbook. She keep these pictures that she got from friends back when she started working and I love to look at them occasionally. When you open the scrapbook, this is the first thing you see. And the two couples you see here were drawn on, by whom Mom can't remember but its drawn really well. Remind me of those old retro movies. Most of her pictures were of her colleagues and that were a lot of photos of guys in the album than girls. Most picture also have there own captions by them. Its really quirky and this was when Mom was rocking the straight bangs look and was a natural in front of the camera. Here is a photo of Mum and colleagues. Most of the picture of her have her wearing really nice dresses or high-waisted skirts with cute blouses. Some totally look vintage and I wish I could have some of them. In those day, Mum had those...
