The Story:
I almost didn’t write a post today for today!
“School too busy?” you ask. No.
“Did I get sick?” No.
“Boy problems?” Always…but no.
Taylor Swift is to blame for this one. Her and her new song “22” has been my anthem for the last 24 hours and I have listened to it probably 30 times today (no joke). So I have just been here dancing in my room for the last (insert an OBSCENE amount of time here… then times it by 2) dancing to the song with a bottle of sprinkles as my pretend microphone.
I have never been happier to be 22, thanks Tay! This cupcakes for you!
