Since being home, I’ve updated my bulletin board in my room. It’s filled with things that describe me, inspire me, and make me happy, so I thought I would share each element of it with you to help you get to know me better.
Here is the board as a whole.
The Louis Vuitton envelope is for my love for fashion- just like pretty much every 20 year old girl. I find that fashion is a way to express myself, and I love adding new pieces of clothing and accessories to my wardrobe.
The Pink Floyd card and Grateful Dead bear are for my love of music. I also have a music festival wristband on there to represent this. Music is probably my favorite thing in the entire world, I would be so lost without it. I love to listen to it and make playlists, go to concerts with my friends, and play it. I think it’s one of the purest, most vulnerable forms of expression. It connects people like nothing else can, and I think it’s connected me to so many people on a deeper level than I ever could have been without it.
I have a lot of photos of my friends and I on here. I obviously love all of my friends, and I consider my closest ones more like family. Being away from them is especially hard right now, as I typically am with them every second of every day. They’re always there for me when I need them, and I share everything with them. I’m a very social person, and I definitely get my energy from being around other people, particularly the ones I can laugh or cry with, like the people on my board. As cliche as it sounds, my friends make me strive to be the best version of myself possible, and the best friend I can be for them.
This part of my board reminds me of my two homes. The card is from a restaurant in my hometown, Louisville, Kentucky. Same for the pin- it’s a derby pin, which is used to get into all of the events leading up to the Kentucky Derby. Derby season is my favorite time of year in Louisville, and I have so many positive memories associated with that pin. And the sticker obviously represents my second home in Texas. I love it more than I ever thought I would initially moving there for school, and I miss it dearly.
Finally, I have a running bib. I used to run cross country and track in high school, and made some of my best friends through this. I loved running competitively, and I still do run today recreationally. It’s a great stress reliever for me. Whenever I find myself stressed or somewhat lost, I always go for a run with my music to clear my head. I consider it still to be a big part of my identity.
