i grew up with those kids. we spent a lot of time together this summer, and it was great. we had always been kind of clique-y, but we really seemed to bond and get a lot closer right before I left, and we had some amazing fun times. I can’t wait to go home and see them

i stopped! i saw my sister(PIXIE) at my grandparents house right before I started school and her nails were all nice and long and pretty and so I said “if she can do it, I can do it.”

so I did. I haven’t bitten them since I started college. I paint and re-paint them weekly with strengthing polish, carry a nail file with me EVERYWHERE and carry healthy hand and nail lotion in my purse. I don’t let them get too long b/c the nails on my pointer fingers start to bend funny, but no more biting!

this is hard for me because i am not normally a very outgoing person and everyone knows this. So its really hard to change that image. Its easier at work than at school…b/c at work nobody has really known me that long and I don’t really HAVE an image there to uphold.
