Im GROWING UP!!!

It is such a scary thought being a junior and having to plan the rest of my life! This thought came to me today and I printed out 10 scholarship essays to do this weekend, and researched my dream collage. It has been my dream collage since I was like 9.
I was looking around the website looking for the journalism degree, but later on I figured out that to get a journalism degree I actually get a major in communication with a focus on journalism.

At the conference I went to for newspaper, I took a class on people wanting to get a degree in journalism. The speaker highly recommended that you get minor in something else you like. This way it opens up many options for you. I was looking between history and political science, and the political science classes seems so much more exciting. That might be my minor.

It is so hard to think that in less then a year and a half I will be on my own in a different state, cooking for myself, meeting new people, and handling everyday life. At the same time it is exciting that I can be with other LDS members, make new friends, and possible meet my eternal companion.

I emailed the communication department, and I am trying to set up a tour at the campus and for their department over spring break. Wish me luck on my journey everyone. Now I am off to memorize a scene of Shakespeare with a group.

Keep Calm and Carry On,

Fall

I love fall time, when the trees change colors, and holiday spirit starts! It makes me so happy around this time of year and I think it must be because my mother has rubbed off on me. In Young Womens we made a THANKFUL banner for our home as decorations and this inspired to say the top 10 things I am thankful for!

1. My family is of course number one! It is for like everyone. I am thankful for my Mom and Dad, Step Dad, Uncles, Aunts, and cousins. Too many family members I am proud of to name.

2. My friends, but most of all my friends who have got me through the most; Bruna, Anna, Konner, Marissa just to name a few. They have no idea how thankful I am for them to be in my life.

3. My school. Most countries don't have the opportunity to get the education I do, and without school I wouldn't have a reason to wake up to get me motivated.

4. Church. I am a proud Latter Day Saint, and my church is my life. Without it I don't know where I would be emotionally. It is my stability in life.

5. Hard work that everyone puts in to making this country run. If one person didn't do their job out world would be less stable, and every job is one that the country needs. I am thankful for all people who work.

6. I am thankful for my country, being the land of the free. This allows me to express my freedom of speech(which I really need with my mouth).

7. I am thankful for all the people who create art and make such beautiful things to make the world more pleasant and gorgeous.

8. This may sound naive, but I am thankful for technology. Without it I don't know how I would get school work done, or anything done, or have friends. jk

9. I am thankful for the house over my head and the food on my plate.

10. I am thankful for all my pets for giving me happiness, comfort and protection.

Keep Calm and Be Thankful,
Ciara

My computer broke :(

SO i am now using the laptop till further notice, because every time I would do a google search and click on a link, it would take me elsewhere. EVERY TIME! I thought it was a google error, guess not. Anyways, I attended Youth Summit with the Northglenn Youth Commission, we have some great things in store for the city! Then Shae spend the night and we watched my favorite childhood book that was also a movie; A Little Princess. At first she didn't want to but she loved it! Then today we woke up did our homework and tons of other fun stuff.

Tonight is going to be a truly special spiritual experience. I get me patriarchal blessing. It is revelation you can receive in a special prayer done by a patriarch, and tells you of blessing you will receive if you stay on the right path. Here is a link to better explain; http://lds.org/new-era/2004/03/about-patriarchal-blessings?lang=eng&query=patriarchal+blessing

and i also have a mormon.org profile; http://mormon.org/me/6F92/

Happy Haloween

So it is my first day back to school. Man is it hard, but Bruna spent the night last night and made me laugh this morning. I love her so much. Her and cats make me laugh..long story. So since I couldn't wear my robot head with crutches I am just wearing black and red and hello kitty ears. Simple enough. Wish I could show more spirit. I have taken one pic so far of me and Leandra. She is a Lady Bug.
Matching red and black! lol. I was orginally supposed to be the Party Rock Robot from LMFAO music videos. Uncle Byron made it, pretty bomb.

Tonight I am going to see Mayday Parade! Excited about that! I love their song "Kids in Love". Bruna is of course escorting me to that.lol. Until next time,

Keep Calm and Crutch On,

Surgery

I got my foot surgery to remove that broken bone last Thursday, and I actually did well. Minus the pain sucks and hundreds of blood vessiles popped on my face from being face down. This weekend I have just been taken a chill doing homework and sitting in Uncle Byron's bed that you can control the feet of head side to move to your comfort! Halloween is Monday and I am seeing Mayday parade! That should be interesting being on crutches and all. Bruna is going with me of course. What else is going on..... Nothing too much over then we got SNOW! I love snow so much! I thought that in honor of the snow I would post my favorite must haves for winter.

First is a snuggie! I thought it was soo dumb untill I tried one, and HOLY COW it keeps you warm!

2nd; is a good pair of uggs! legit! I have loved mine so much ever since I got them for christmas from Shari. They are real too, and if you cant get the "real" ones, get knock off. They are still great.

3rd is a nice bow to wear in your hair on all days of winter. A simple black bow dressed up any outfit no matter the temperature.

Now those chilly days where there is no snow I recommend my new guilty pleasure. Moccasins, I have a brown and purple pair and I love them!

Half way there, 5th would be a nice fancy winter jackets you can wear anywhere and look classy. I got a hounds-tooth one from the local thrift store for 6 bucks! and it had never been worn and was originally 100!! Such a great find!

The 6th must have is nice body lotion, because winter can dry out our skin. That is never fun! I personally love the Victoria Secret Pink Line, because its soft, smells good, and doesn't set off my asthma.

7th must have is a nice scarf, which I am still on the hunt for! They look so cute on outfits.

8th is a nice over sized sweater or nice cardigans to keep you warm and chic!! Love it!


9th is my favorite thing for all seasons. PEARLS!!! They look so nice and chic and amazing and ahh i love them!!! Winter is when they are best.

Last, is amazing friends and family to spend winter with and make tons of memories <3

Last Friday Night

"We sat on table tops, took too many shots, last friday night." That fits perfectly.lol. The party started at Marissa's for some Dancing games, Mario Kart, and TOGAS!





Then after a while, we discovered that 2 people there had cars with them. We went on a scavenger hunt with a list of things we had to take pics with. One group went to Walmart and one went to Target. Then we had to meet up at Shell. Well my group got back first..






We got that done fast so we made another list, including TP. (We Cheated, I got Rad Cousins)We had to race back to Marissas. The other group got their first.




Then we had to break the tie. We did two games of who could drink the shots of 7 Up the Fastest. They other team won first then my team won second. (when i was the one doing the shots i should add. I was beast!) Then to break the tie. 3 people from each team had to plank. Whichever team had a person last the longest one...Which was us!!!!!! OH Yeah! Over all it was SOO much fun.
Having fun with your friends is so easy, and cheap. The only thing you need is great friends like me. We know how to have fun without bad things.

Keep Calm and PARTY On!
