Fall Break, Gone Girl, & Punkin Patch

Hey guys, I'm going to try to update more regularly now, not sure how that'll go down but again, I'll try.

Anyways, this past weekend was fall break plus, yesterday and today, October 20-21. It was pretty much a long weekend and that was good but that's two days off of Thanksgiving break. Whatever, it's whatever. I can't change the days.

I did enjoy fall break though.

On Friday, I went to my classes even though I was really debating skipping. I really just wanted to get the drive home over with. No, it isn't a long drive but still, it's lonely. I also really wanted to be home. It isn't like I think about missing home when I'm at school but when I'm actually home, it's nice.
Anyways, I got out of classes early because my teachers are awesome. Then I went on my way home. When I got home, I just chilled with my parents, we ate dinner, and then we watched The Big Libouski (not sure if that's how you spell it). I took a bath! Wahoo, love baths.

On Friday, my math teacher sent out a mass email to all of his students and said that all of the homework assignments were opened up just for fall break. So I'm not doing so good in Math so I was beyond excited when I read the email. Then I realized how much work I had to do. DAMN.

Saturday was just a chill day too. Didn't really do much. We went to eat with my grandparents Saturday night. I worked on Math a lot on Saturday.

Sunday, we went to church but had to leave early so we (my mom and I) could go eat lunch with family. We went to Huntsville, AL so we had an hour drive. After lunch, we drove back to where my parents live now in TN. Then, my mom went back to church while I worked on more math, boring.

Monday, yesterday, was my fun day!! :)
I got to see my best friend, Hannah. I drove to Huntsville for a doctors appointment (my last pediatric appointment, I'M SO OLD) and I picked her up on the way. We hung out from 9:15 AM to around 9:00 PM. It was a fun filled day, lol.
So after the doctor, we went to my favorite restaurant, Shaggy's. It's so goooood. After lunch, we decided we wanted to go see the movie Gone Girl so we bought tickets from our phones. We had time to spend so we went to the little out door mall by the movie theater. We shopped for a bit before going to our movie.
Gone Girl is probably the best movie I've seen in a while. Since TFIOS (the fault in our stars for those of you who didn't know what tfios meant ;D). It is such a mind fuck. So good! It was Hannah's second time seeing it.
After the movie, we went to another store, Kinnucan's, and Target before driving to meet one of our English teachers from last year. We ate dinner with her and gossiped, lol. Then after dinner, I took Hannah home before heading home myself.

Today, Tuesday, I made a hair appointment to get my hair ombred. I was super nervous before my appointment because I didn't know if it would look good and you can't go back after dying it. anyways, I went for it. I'd never gotten my hair dyed before so it was a bit weird. My hair is blonde already so you can imagine how light my tips are.
If you want, follow me on Instagram at @libbygillies to see posts of it when I get the chance!
Anyways, my tips are SO blonde, so so blonde. It looks natural though. I really love my hair now. I wish I could do like a different color tips like lilac or something crazy just to see how it would look. Apparently, I can go by my hair place and they have dye that washes out in two weeks. May have to do something crazy to see what it feels like. Make people stop and turn.
So after three hours, we were done. My hair was dyed ombre, washed, blow dried, and he ends curled by the end. My hair is so long so it took a while. Hahaha, it looks so much longer when it's lighter. I want my hair dark brown to see what it would look like, idk though.
After my hair finished, my mom and I went to eat at a Hibachi grill, yummy. We stopped by a farm that has mazes and fun things for kids to do. They also had pumpkins so my mom took some fall pictures which are also on my instagram already. GO CHECK IT OUT. Then we went back home, watched Dallas Buyers Club (a very good movie, btw). I left when the movie ended.
I got back to my dorm around 8:00 because I lost an hour by driving here. Chattanooga is an hour ahead of home. I hung out with my roommate, Haleigh because no one else was home. Olivia, my other roommate's boyfriend surprised her here. He's on fall break.
I worked on more math but didn't finish. I pulled my homework up two letter grades though so that's good! I feel good about that. I had a lot of work to do.
We also we out to eat after I finished math. We always go out to eat together usually on Sundays but since we all got back today from Fall Break, we went today.

Now, I'm writing this, it's technically Wednesday. Thursday, tomorrow, I guess, Hannah is coming to Chatt until Sunday just to hang out. That will be so much fun! It's always exciting to see her. Good thing this week will be short!
Turn up.

Thank you for reading!
Love you all!!!

Music Midtown & Jesse McCartney & 1D + pictures!!!

I know, I know. It's been a while since I updated. Sorry sorry. Anyways, I wanted to go over everything I missed and there's a lot!!!!

First, was music midtown:


I went to classes on Thursday, September 18 and got out around 12:05. I skipped my usual daily lunch with my roommates and went back to my dorm. I was already packed for the weekend so I got my stuff and set off for Birmingham, AL (my brother lives there). I stayed with him that night and on Friday (yes, I skipped my classes), we were off to Atlanta, GA (we meaning, me, my brother, and his girlfriend). The festival started an hour ahead of Birmingham time so we left to where we could get there in time for Iggy Azalea's concert which started at 7 or so an hour ahead.
I took this selfie on the drive:


We ate at Sweet Tomato's, a salad restaurant before heading to the hotel. We got a room and let all of our stuff there. Next, we headed to the Marta. For those of you who don't know what a Marta is, it's like an above ground subway. It's a Metro. It looks like this:

And the marta map:

So we were at the Dunwoody stop and we were told to go all the way to the Five Points stop but everyone on the Marta was going to Music Midtown and they all took the Midtown stop (duh). So we did too. We stayed at the hotel Friday and Saturday night due to the fact that the concert ran late.

So my outfit for day one was:



My top is from Torrid, my headband is from Rue 21, my shoes are Vans, and my shorts came from Lane Bryant (I think). I also carried a backpack that is one of my roommates. I took this selfie with my brother and his gf which I posted on Instagram on October 13 because my brother turned 21! (happy birthday bro!):


So getting to the good stuff, the performances.
Referring to the first picture I posted of all of the acts at Music Midtown, we didn't get to see all of them, those were just who was performing. In order, on Friday, we saw Iggy Azalea, Lorde, and John Mayer. Sadly, I don't have a picture of John Mayer but I do have some of Iggy and Lorde.
Also, Lorde brought out TI so I have one picture of him!
Iggy:



 TIIIIIII:
And Lorde:








Then, on Saturday (THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE), we saw, in order, Vic Mensa, B.o.B, Lana Del Ray, and Eminem. I have pictures of Lana somewhere but not on my computer so I can't post them! Boo, anyways, I have the others.
Also, my outfit:


My undershirt/tank top is from Torrid, the jacket is also from Torrid, my shorts are from Factory Connection, my shoes are Chacos, and my headband is from Rue 21.
NOW ARTISTS!!
Vic Mensa (I have one picture thanks to Vic's Instagram account):

B.o.B (the best fucking performance of my fucking life)!!!!!
I'm just posting one photo hoping that it'll justify the sexy god named Bobby Ray: 


Eminem RAP GOD:












He was just... AMAZING. two hours of amazing. Eminem is like no one else. Trust me. If you get the chance to ever see him in concert, definitely do it. Take the opportunity. 

So my feelings about each artist:

Iggy- she put on a good show. She kind of pumped me up but we weren't as close as I wish we were. We couldn't really hear her over the booming bass. Either way, she was very good. I'm glad she didn't fall off the stage this concert because she was high up. LOL jk

Lorde- damn. damn. I love Lorde. Always have. My brother and his girlfriends didn't know many of her songs but my bitch ass knew every single one. I love love love Lorde. She was really good live. GO SEE HER

John Mayer- he was very chill. everyone was sitting down back where I was. We left an hour into his performance because he was there for two hours. He was good but we were tired. We left, ate, and went back to the hotel. 

Vic Mensa- I'd never heard of him before this concert but we were up next to his stage before B.o.B performed an hour after him so we wanted to be closer. He was pretty good. At first there was his DJ and I thought it was him. He was like remixing all of these popular songs and the whole crowd was like jumping, lol. Then Vic came out rapping. I didn't know it was him until the end. Hahaha, he was good though.

B.o.B- oh my god. B.o.B is like my favorite rapper right now and has been for a while and I wanted to go for him mostly. We were pretty close to the stage and we were packed in like sardines. It was hot but worth it. B.o.B is beyond amazing. He got the crowd hype. 

Lana Del Ray- I hate to say but she was kind of boring. After B.o.B, she kind of like killed my mood but she was a good singer. She seem to care more about photography and signing things for fans that putting on a good show. I don't know many of her songs so I didn't really enjoy hers. I'm glad I got to see her though!

Eminem- god, where to start. Eminem is just a legend as is and he was beyond amazing in concert. The whole crowd went crazy. He sang all of his popular songs and my brother knew like all the words to all of his songs. It was two hours and he brought back out B.o.B to sing Airplanes Part 2 and Roysta 5'9 (i doubt that's spelled right). Eminem was just awesome. 

After Eminem, we went to eat and back to the hotel. Saturday was a long day. 

So I came back to Chattanooga on Sunday and did nothing really for a while. THEN, this past week, on October 9, Jesse McCartney came to Chattanooga and put on a "free concert". It was actually three dollars but worth it. He sang three songs and was perfect. 



Jesse is so cute in concert too. Like major cute. Forreal. 

I ALSO SAW THE ONE DIRECTION MOVIE WHERE WE ARE OMFG, IT WAS PERFFFFFFFFFF PERRRRFFFFF PPPPPEEEEERRRFFFFFF. K, BYE

Okay, so I think that's the end of this major long post. I feel like it should be long though because I haven't posted in so long. I thought a long post was needed. This is probably the longest post I've ever done. Maybe not. The glee post from years ago was pretty long and pretty pointless. lol. 

THIS IS NOT POINTLESS. 
Concerts are great. 
You are great.
I love you guys!
Thanks for reading!
