I'd like to return the favor and have something left to give

All moved in! My new apartment has been taking up a lot of my time lately so I haven't been posting in a few days. But it looks absolutely fabulous so I'm not too worried about it. I love my new room and it's surprisingly clean and organized and I love everything about it. My dad spent a whole six hours putting together my dress/wardrobe thing...technically it's a linen closet according to IKEA but that's okay because it's pretty sweet looking. My mom bought me this cool wall hanging that looks like windows and it's looking out on a pretty yellow building...
sticker window!
Oh no. See? Now the text got centered and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to put it back to the left. Oh well! Anyways, isn't that pretty cool? They have a whole bunch of different ones at Target. There was one that was like a London red phone booth that I really liked and might have to go purchase. Apparently my mom saw one that was like a fancy headboard which I think is kind of neat because if you're in a college dorm or apartment or something and can't have an actual nice bed frame, it can still look nice. I'm not very much of an interior decorator or anything but I think I choose pretty cool looking stuff to put on my walls. I have these ribbons from high school that are all different colors and have little wishes printed out on them in English and French. They were at the Carnegie Museum and we stole a whole bunch. So I could never really figure out what to do with them but one day I decided to hang them up on my wall at home and they looked super fun! And then I took them to school with me last year and now they're back and still looking good. I like doing little things like that. Just adding in some fun little thing to a room that's a little unique to make the whole thing look just a bit more personalized. But I think that's why I could never design anybody else's rooms or anything like that. I've talked about this with multiple people before and it always comes down to the same thing - people would ask me to design a room around something they like and I'd be like "umm....no....your taste is sickeningly ugly and it's going to look awful". Because a majority of the time, that's what I think of a lot of other people's taste whether it's clothing or decorating or whatever. I'm kind of snooty and judgmental like that I guess but oh well that's just how I am. Anyways, that's pretty much why I couldn't do that. Otherwise I think I could. Like if someone wanted me to design something based off of all my own choices and "style" I would be perfectly fine and have tons of fun. But that's the only case where it would turn out looking good. In MY opinion. I don't really think I have a style anyways. My mom will tell me all the time when we're out shopping or doing whatever like that "that's not really your style, Rachel" but I don't get what that means. I mean, I suppose I could see someone saying that if I was trying to purchase some Baby Phat clothing or cowboy boots or something but I feel like I do choose a lot of random things that most people probably wouldn't all belong to a singular girl. So bottom line? I don't believe I have a specific style. I'm a total scatterbrain when it comes to that. It's just like how people tell me I have a certain "type" of guy. I don't think I do though. I only like a certain few things about guys - I like tall boys, with nice smiles, who aren't afraid to laugh and goof around and who won't judge me for my awkward weirdness that tends to rear its ugly head. But that's really it. I don't think that's really a type so much as just a few small things that I like. I don't know...Anyways, I feel like this was a pretty sufficient babble for today. I'll be off to my first class in less than twelve hours and I'm kind of nervous as usual so I should probably try and get as much sleep as possible!

Thanks for reading:)
Love,
Rachel
