1. To the movies. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – this is one of the most liberating, pleasant experiences ever. No sharing snacks, hearing opinions on the previews or responsibilities other than to enjoy the film, and yourself.
2. Cheap buffet. Usually I like to wait all day to eat, only having a snack here and there – you know, like appetite foreplay.
1. Go to an amusement park together and try all of the rides you're normally too scared to go on. (Make sure to eat the cotton candy and sno cones after you spin around in circles for hours.)
2. Stay up all night when it's nice out and drink wine under the stars, talking about all the things you're usually too embarrassed or afraid to admit.
1. Complete dependence on one another. We're all guilty of this one in our adolescent lives. Young love is just so new and exciting and compelling and you just can't spend a minute without that person... and it all comes back to bite you in the ass when you break up and you're left with nothing because your whole life revolves around your former special someone.
For all the miraculous Yous in my life.
He will tell all of his friends that you are breathtaking. And when they smile politely he’ll repeat it, slowly, No, I mean really, truly breeaaatthhhtakkkiinnngg, will insist that they think about what it would feel like to have the very wind sucked out of them and placed inside of a music box.
The first time you notice him you won’t really notice him at all. He’s a little bit too short, a little bit too soft in the middle. You’ll feel him watching you when you’re dancing with your boyfriend at a party before you turn around and catch his eye. He’s leaning against a wall, smoking; he looks like Ryan from the OC and he’s ready to be whoever you want him to be (for just long enough that it will break your heart when he goes back to being himself), and he’ll smile at you.
1. People really really like other people to know what they are eating.
2. A lot of people have a LOT of time on their hands. (Why are people always claiming to be busy?)
3. Orwell was right -- “All issues are political issues.”
4. A lot of people have no idea what they’re talking about… a lot of the time.
1. The later you wake up on Christmas morning, the more you’re a grown up. Did you get a full night of rest on Christmas Eve? If so, that indicates that you don’t particularly care. The laying in bed, anticipating, wide-awake with excitement days are over -- and it’s become more of a relaxing time away from work. In our defense, we no longer get awesome gifts like Power Rangers action figures, or big Barbie sets.
Ever since my boyfriend gave me the Instax mini 7 last Christmas, I’ve been trigger happy taking photos here and there. Instant cameras are love. Given the photos are too cute to be placed in a box hidden away, i spent my day off (Anzac day in Australia meaning no work hihi) creating an album for my Instax photos.
I know a loooot of friends who have got an instax mini as well so i do hope this d.i.y. Post would inspire you to make your own albums.
First off, you’d be needing the following materials:
Paper (i used my papemelroti stock for this project)
Illustration board
Ruler
Glue
Paper end screws (i have no idea what they’re actually called haha)
Puncher
Pencil
Instax photos
The size of your album would of course depend on your instax photo sizes.
Measure the board for the cover and backing for your album. Do the same for the inside pages. Remember to leave space for the paper fold and area around the photo. Cut the excess parts.
Punch holes through the cover and pages. Before binding, design your cover, here i utilized pages from old notebooks, black paper scraps and an old gift wrapper.
As for the pages, take two instax photos and line them up side by side with a space in between. Mark the sides of the photos. 
Taking cue from vintage albums, use paper corners in keeping the photos in place. Create these paper corners simply by folding a strip of paper into a triangle, cut excess and paste on marked areas on the paper. Wait to dry.
Next is stack pages and cover then bind using the paper screws. 
Place in the photos and there you have it, your own instax album. 
Because there is no such thing as middle ground. You are either decidedly one or the other, and if you hang on the fence to avoid the revolution, you will be cast into the pits of rabid dogs along with those heathens, the Hot Cocoa People.
Tea People: You are into all things knit and cozy.
1. Realizing that, post 21, there is not a whole lot in the way of "awesome milestone birthday" that you really look forward to, and that birthdays just get progressively more depressing.
2. The awkward transition from college which convinced you that you were going to get an awesome job in an economy which has just about none of those, and is filled with people who basically mock you for not being able to get your shit together.
