Dear Anyone Who Will Ever Read This,

It has been exactly 3 months and 9 days since I have last posted. I feel as though this needs to change.. So guess what - it's going to!

I feel like a fool posting this now without writing anything significant, but I'm unfortunately lazy and inspired at the same time. So I shall write to you about what is currently going on in my life.

First of all, my name is still Ashlee and I'm still a third year Media Studies - Journalism student at the University of Guelph-Humber. I'm in desperate need of an internship, and will hopefully be able to complete it this summer. However, I am lazy. And busy. So I haven't been applying. Apparently I don't know how hiring processes work.

Matt and I went to Quebec City for reading week, which was wonderful. I took a lot of pictures, so I'll be posting them once they've been edited. Speaking of photography, I'm the photo editor for my school's newspaper, The Radix - check it out, so that's been fun/ a learning experience.

That's all I've got!
Hope you're doing well :)

Love,
Ashlee

Better Together.

There is no combination of words I could put on the postcard
And no song that I could sing, but I can try because this is your heart and this is
Our dreams and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart, like
Why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's so much better when we're together

Mmm, so much better when we're together
Yeh, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well it's so much better when we're together
Yeh, it's so much better when we're together

All of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
They'll be gone too, to many things I have to do
But follow these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression, I was somewhere in between
With only two, just me and you, not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be, we'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Yeh, so much better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's so much better when we're together
Yeh, so much better when we're together

I believe in memories because they look so,
So pretty when I sleep
And when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together
We so much better when we're together
We so much better when we're together

Don't release me 'til it's over.

It's 1:30am, and usually, I would hate being up this late writing an essay but today is different.

I'm writing about how fcked up the food we eat is, and listening to some good tunes.

Probably shouldn't have left this until the last minute, but as of now, I don't care.

Talk to me in a few hours / tomorrow in class, and I'll tell you a different story..

I am on page 1 of 5. Ha.


Love.

Message in a Bottle.

A man who sent out a message in a bottle in Newfoundland was found by a woman in Scotland two-three years later.

This is so inspiring!



I'm going to set a goal to send out ten messages this summer with a return address on each one.

I wonder where they'll end up...

I miss you's not enough.
Dear school,

I would appreciate if you could slow down and give me time to breathe. Maybe throw in some good grades in there while you're at it.

Sincerely,
Ashlee

I wish I lived in Spain.

Some nappers in Madrid decided to defend the traditional afternoon siesta by participating in a sleeping competition in the middle of a shopping mall.

Five at a time, they would lay down for 20 minutes, and were observed by a doctor. The doctors would give them extra points for snoring, drooling, or sleeping in funny positions.

The winner got close to $1500.
























So funny.
