Laney's Roundup!

This post is the first in a series, which I'm calling Laney's Roundup!



Yes, it is like Woody's Roundup, which is the part my brother stuck on and wouldn't let go when I mentioned it to him.



Aside from the endless Toy Story references, I like my little clip art design and my series title! It took me forever to come up with on I liked that is original and unique. 

It's hard to believe tomorrow is the last day of July! Where has the summer gone? To school and work mostly, but tomorrow I'm going to have a little fun at the beach! On that note, here's my roundup! 


Chasing The Sun

Hilary Duff is back! Her new single, which is the first one since 2008 (it's been TOO long!), Chasing The Sun sticks to her sweet, pop sound, while also covering adult territory such as working all the time and wishing for an escape. The music video is adorable! 

One of the writer's of the song is Colbie Caillat, and if you've listen to Colbie Caillat's earlier music you can feel her vibe. Certain writer/songwriters always have a certain musical vibe, even when they aren't singing the song. 


This song will be my anthem for the rest of the summer! 

I showed the video to my mom, and she said after the second time she listened to it, it grew on her. I told her how excited I am for a new cd from Hilary Duff and hopefully a new one from Taylor Swift! We reminisced about how the first concert she took me to was Hilary Duff's Most Wanted Tour. 

Hilary Duff is and always will be my idol! I feel like Disney tried to copy the Hilary Duff formula with Miley Cyrus, but it went all wrong. No one will ever be as amazing as Hilary Duff. She's managed to age into adulthood, get married, have a baby, write a series of books and still be as amazing a lovable as she was during the Lizzie McGuire days.

Laney Logic: New Opportunities

Hello all!

Many great things have happened to me recently!

Here's a list of the awesome things:

1) I applied for a internship on Tuesday morning, and a few hours later I was approved! The internship is with Blue Bicycle Books, an independent bookstore in Downtown Charleston. They are also the sponsor of YALLFest, Charleston's Young Adult Literature Festival. This November will be the third year YALLFest has been held in Charleston. It's an amazing opportunity, and the chance to be a part of it is beyond belief!



2) I got business cards for the rink. I love them! It makes me feel special to have business cards and it has proved really helpful!



3) The closer we get to school starting the more excited I get! New classes, new books and new friends! Also, rush is coming up! I'm excited for Greek Life!

I hope to blog more, read more and write more this fall. We'll see how that goes!

Have a super day!
