Day 4...
So my first year of college is almost over. And I don't know how I feel about this. I'm excited because there's only more wonderful things to look forward to the future. I'm really proud of myself that I did so well making the Dean's List in my first semester as well as being invited to numerous Honor societies. Other than that I've also maintained a job, helped my family through our crises, and maintained all my friendships..
But as this year draws to an end I'm beginning to realize something. Each year that passes I say good bye to child hood and my youth as I take new responsibilities. Though I don't have any regrets it's just hard to think about saying goodbye to your childhood and youth. I feel like I was thrown into maturity at such an age because of my parent's divorce, my mom going to school as a single parent, caring for my brother while she worked, and other things. I know I shouldn't think negatively on any of this because those "bumps" in the road have made me such a strong and intelligent person. But sometimes I think, what if these things didn't happen? How would I have turned out?
I've accomplished in this year. I graduated high school. Got a job. Went to school. Excelled in school. And so many other wonderful things.
Now I look to my future and I only see bright things. I'm taking 3 classes this summer so I can really get ahead and get into the nursing program and I have fun things planned with friends. Even though things my seem really stressful and hectic right now I truly do love my life. I wouldn't trade it for the world because I chose to put myself in these situations because I know myself and that I thrive well under pressure.
Well anyways.. this is the most random post ever. And it was totally all over the place. I've got one more week of finals and I'm done. So wish me luck!!
What things have you accomplished this year? If you go to school, what are you studying?

Day 3: My Hair Dilemna
Day 3..
So from the title you can see I have a little problem. And its my hair. Every so often this little itch inside me comes out and I wanna do something to my hair. Be it color, dye, whatever. But I'm always a chicken, because even though I hate to admit it I'm sometimes afraid of change. Especially changes you can erase if you don't like it. I've always been envious of people who had balls to chop off all their hair or dye it some crazy color. Yes sometimes they look completely ridiculous but there are the lucky times they come out looking amazing.
I myself have never cut my hair more than probably 4 inches and probably will never. I love my long hair and even though sometimes I'm envious of girls with cute short bobs and other short do's I don't think I can ever bring myself to do it, let alone pull it off...
Well, there's someone's hair I'm envying right now.. And I really shouldn't be envying it and I'm kinda embarrassed to admit it because it's someone I really don't like.
Agh.. I can't believe I just admitted it! Yes. I want Miley Cyrus's hair. I love the color of her hair in this photo. And even though I hate that I've been compared to her many times before, I think its a good thing in this situation because it means I can probably pull this hair off... But I'm still a little unsure...
What do you think? And what are hair dilemnas you've had with yourself in the past?

Day 2: Our Bodies, Ourselves
Day 2..
So I'm posting this a day late because I forgot for a second that I was actually doing this. Yes, I know. I forgot on the second day. But as you know I've got quite a lot on my plate at the moment. But I do wanna continue this because I feel it's a good way to vent about stuff.. don't cha think?
Okay Stephanie stop rambling.. This semester I'm taking a Women's Studies class. The class is properly called Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies: Women's & Their Bodies. Now that's a mouthful to take in. Right? Well in that class we're reading a book called "Our Bodies Ourselves". In February when I was in the bookstore and picked up this book I thought to myself. Wow this thing is an encyclopedia! How am I gonna get through this? But really it's been one of the best books I've ever read. And the fact that it is written in the form of a textbook and I still like it is pretty amazing, don't you think?
Well anyways.. if you're a female I think you should take a Women's Studies class about your body. Because as a woman you'd think, "I'm a woman, I know my own body", but really you'd learn so much as I have this semester. It's opened my eyes to the facts and myths out there surrounding my body and female issues as well talked about subjects that are a little taboo in our society and aren't brought up or we're educated on a daily basis. Even if you aren't a female and are a guy I think this book would be very helpful to you.. you'll learn so many things about women and it would help you become a better man, lover, husband, etc..
It also helps a lot that it's pink :)
Has there ever been a book that's changed the way you think about things or see life?

Day 1: Mother's Day
Today is Day 1..
Of what you ask? Project 365 It was supposed to start on May 1 like MakeupbyMel did but I was so busy and caught up with school, work, and the other insanities in my life I fell behind.
So basically what Project 365 is you make a blog post every day for the next 365 days with a picture. You can explain the picture or do whatever you want, after all it is your blog.. I hope some of my followers go along with it too and if you do please send me the link to your blog! I'd love to go with you on your journey!!
As most of you know today was Mother's day. Well today one of my aunts celebrated her very first mother's day after giving birth to my beautiful baby cousin, Jada. She's about 8 weeks old now and she is the most beautiful thing ever. She's my third cousin from that side of the family and I'm going to love and care for her just as I did my other baby cousins.
She's a very sweet baby. Quiet and observant. She doesn't cry a lot and she tolerates being held by lots of people. (When in my experience babies hate that). The time I spent with her was not enough and I am definitely in love with her. It makes me want to go out and buy everything baby & Hello Kitty for her because when I was growing up my aunt had spoiled me even though she was only in high school and still young. I just want to return the favor you know.. So here are a few pictures of her.. That's my brother holding her.
Do you get all mushy and fall in love with babies?
