high all day

It's May 1. That's just soooooooooooo crazy to me. In only a matter of a few weeks i'll be out of my dorm/SF and back at home/LA for almost 3 months. I'm really sad about this because this means no more constantly seeing my friends, or going to shows, or going on random little adventures. One of the biggest reasons why I decided to move out was for the freedom. I don't mean to make it sound like my mom is one of the strictest out there, because she isn't, but she is a bit difficult to work with when it comes to leaving the house. Long story short, I don't really go out when i'm at home because I can't. Okay well I can but only once a week & I have curfew. I know, for some people it's hard to process that a 19 year old girl still has to ask permission to go out and be home by 10, but that's just how it is back home. For Latina moms, the motto is "MY house, MY rules", so I have to respect my mom's rules. I guess it's not the worst because being home keeps me busy (there's ALWAYS something to do whether it's cleaning, organizing, crafting, etc.) & I get to spend time with my family, but now that I know what it's like to go out & come home whenever I want, it's going to be difficult. Honestly, it's not even that big of a deal because i'll probably just end up getting a job and working all the time anyways & also going out shouldn't be my main priority, plus my mom doesn't keep me isolated from the world or anything haha. As long as I get to be with my family. I'm super excited cause i'm going home this week to go surprise my mom for Mother's Day!!!!! I'm happy because she literally has no idea it's going to be sooooo awesome! 

So going back to the whole idea, I'm just trying to do as much as I can in SF this month since I won't be back until end of August. Yesterday, my friends and I went to a city an hour and a half down south called Santa Cruz and oh my jeeeeezzus it's sooooo beautiful. I get so happy seeing the coastline of California and driving down Pacific Coast Highway is breathtaking. So lucky to live here *sobs*. We were there basically all afternoon chilling at the beach and checking out the scenery. Here are some pictures:

This little rocky part we decided to check out.

Me & Sarrita were twinning, a reoccurring theme for us.
