Summertime and the Living is Easy

I feel like that one line is the soundtrack to my whole summer. I have been really rather busy, but in a good way! I have been working a lot (and feeling like I'm making no money) and hanging out with my friends and trying to go to the beach as much as possible and also trying to make plans. I feel like I've been bit pretty bad by the travel bug this year. I've decided I need to just make things happen for myself. I can't rely on others to join me in adventures and travels and such. If they want to, I would welcome it, but otherwise I think it's something that I just need to do.
Evey person that I've ever met that I have admired has just done what they want to do. I know I need to make decisions that are best for me and do what I need to do to make sure that I'm becoming the person I want to be, but I'm not very good at actually making those decisions. It is hard for me to feel like I am letting someone down or not living up to someone's expectations. Maybe someday I'll realize what I need to do.
It has been very interesting for me to work at the library this summer. That is a crazy place! It makes me think a lot about social class and the limited opportunities that are still given to lesser tier individuals. You think in this industrialized, modern society we would be passed all that, but I guess not. There are kids who come in to the library and you know they will never be given the opportunity to go to college or to get out of the city even really. It just makes me appreciate how wonderful my family is and my opportunities! I know that I do get upset quite often about money and school, but when I really do think about it, I need to appreciate what things I have been given.
Last weekend Adam and I went to our first music festival together! It was amazing! I think it was the best time of my life and I honestly would not have wanted to be with any other person in the world. I think it brought us closer than anything else has so far in our relationship. It was honestly amazing and the music was insane! I got so into electronic music on this trip! I can't stop listening to Pretty Lights and Big Gigantic now! Haha. It was definitely life changing and I definitely did meet some awesome people.
I guess I could say that overall, my life is pretty swell right now. I've been making some good memories and learning stuff and I think I'm going places. Hopefully I check in in the next year. My blogging skills are sadly poor.
