Twenty Eleven

I started 2011, hating it, purely because I'm OCD and 2011 just didn't sound right to me.

But I found this quote on my sister's Facebook

the other day, and I realized that this was the year in a nutshell:

"2011 was a year that went so fast but took so long to do so.

It's the year you found out who yout true friends are, as some 

walked out of your life... It's the year you felt the most

pressure to the point where you gave up so many times

but are still learning how to get back up again.

It's the year you said you would accomplish

great things yet you feel like you just wasted time.

It's the year you cried, too many times.

It's the year you look back on all of the lifetime memories in which you find 

yourself missing the people in them because they

were taken too soon.

But it's also the year you move on, slowly, and you realize that

that's okay because it's only making you stronger."

2011, was my first full year of college, and I learned a lot about

myself and a lot about others.

How I handle certain situations and how I handle people.

I got my first official big girl job.
(Until then I was a lifeguard, but there's no career in that, unfortunately.)

I got to truly grow up, and catch a glimpse of my life that lays 

infront of me. 

I realized who my true friends are, along with even though 

I miss ex-bestfriends, there's a reason we're no longer friends.

You never stop caring once you cared for someone but

it's alright to not have them in your life.

I joined a sorority, that embodies everything I stand for.

I got to visit family and old friends.

I got to come to terms with my grandpa's death. 

I still cry at everything, but maybe that's what's supposed to happen.

I now appreciate everything in my life, the small and the grand. 

 I learned a lot this year, but am not sad to see it go.

I have high hopes for 2012.

So many changes to be made and an entire year to accomplish them...

"Fall down seven times, get  up eight."

Happy New Year!

Future

I grew up knowing that I wanted to be in the fashion world. I always enjoyed picking my friends' clothes for whatever event we had.

 So I always knew that I wanted to be involved with fashion. That's why I always liked my major, Fashion Merchandising, because I would love to be a personal shopper and/or stylist.

Now, I've come to realize that I want to have my own shop.
(Along with write a book and have my own tv show.)

Anyways, when I come home on break, I often find myself questioning my future, when I
talk to my friends about what they're doing, or if their parents ask me what
I'm doing.
So far this break, I questioned using my major and being a teacher.
Going into some sort of media end, because of my love of
movies and books.
But ultimately I think I may add a minor in Communications.
Anyways, making me reconsider my possible future, I find myself contemplating the best jobs;
1) a back-up singer 2) an actor.
 

1)

 

A back-up singer, because you get to be onstage with millions of fans cheering for you
and you get to do what you love. Without any real pressure.

2)

 

An actor, because you get to do something you would never do again.
Like being a car thief, or a murderer, or just simple normal plot lines.
Not to mention worked with some of the coolest people in the world.

The most intriguing things about careers is that they make up a part of you.
Later in life, when I look back on my accomplishments, the areas having to do with my job will matter greatly.

NYE

I love the week after Christmas, is all about the upcoming New Year.
Making plans for NYE. Making resolutions for a new

start in the new year. Not to mention contemplating the past year's triumphs
& tribulations. This week is as important to a person's psyche as the few
days before Christmas (when you think about whether or not you've been bad or good).
This is a week of hard thought and even harder fun.
Not to mention spending all of your Christmas money.

With that being said, the most important part of this week,
is finding the perfect outfit for the NYE parties.

I personally think that NYE dresses should be glittery and sparkly..

Or perhaps, the legendary, little black dress, with a little bit of something extra.

Personally, I think I'll be dressing very plainly and then dazzle the crowds with
some sparkles.

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas Adam

My family, probably like most families, spend the day after Christmas,

 ('Christmas Adam', as my sister calls it)

playing with all of their new presents.
So of course we've been watching movies, and listening to music.
So of course, we've watched our favorite show, Psych, Beyonce's Live at Roseland,
Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Fast Five, & Crazy, Stupid, Love
& I've been listening to Kelly Clarkson's Stronger.
We've all been decked out in our new gear, new clothes &slippers.
Christmas may be over...
but we'll be enjoying these things for the rest of the year.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Story of a Girl

I'm not a very emotional person, I don't show many emotions, and yet I cry a lot.

It takes a lot in my average, normal, everyday life to make me cry.

And yet books, television shows, and movies can make me cry at the drop of a hat.

I'm someone who can't stay quiet during a show or movie, I feel like they're
supposed to be interactive, so I talk back to the characters.
I'm obsessed with nail polish, a person's nails are usually the first thing I notice on a

person.

Followed by their jewelry & then their clothes.
Ironic, because  I'm a Fashion Merchandising major.

 In my 19 years, I've learned a lot.
One of my favorite things is quotes.
In life, there is always a song, or quote that fits a situation.
I was once told that quotes, were for the "uninspired".
At first, I was upset, and then I realized it's kinda true.
Quotes, always have a way of rejuvenating a situation.


With that being said, I found 2 quotes the other day that leave me with the same feeling:
"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things."This really made me start reconsidering some life goals,
I want to marry rich, its not my only life goal,
(I also want to write a book, have a tv show,
be a stylist, and have my own boutique)
and yet, I say "marry rich" enough, I actually find myself thinking that as a goal.
Yes, it would be nice, but it is by no means a life goal.
"Don't wait, the time will never be just right."Ultimately, this is another thing I find myself doing, I'm not exactly shy
but, I have a hard time expressing myself when it comes to feelings.
Something I'm gonna start working on...

xoxo,
Jordan
