#30days: Oh, The Changes
Hello, Lovelies
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'How have you changed in the past 2 years?'
Where to begin. In the past two years, I have changed so much, but at the same time haven't changed that much. I think everyone can relate.
In the past two years, I have matured. In the past two years, my interests have changed. In the past two years, I have realized the type of person who I want to be. In the past two years, I have realized what I want to do with my life.
There are endless ways in which I have changed. To name them all would be a book in itself.

#30days: La TelevisiĆ³n
Hello, Lovelies
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'One of your favorite shows.'
A somewhat short list of shows pop into my head almost simultaneously upon reading the topic. In fact, there are quite a few that instead of picking one show, I'm going to list them in no particular order.
1. 19 Kids and Counting
2. Teen Wolf
3. Project Runway
4. Grey's Anatomy
5. Boy Meets World
6. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
But, the topic didn't exclusively say TV shows.
7. Cheerleaders (AwesomenessTV on youtube)
8. Dancers: Off the Floor (also on AwesomenessTV)
Hmm, I feel as if I have missed a couple. Whatever. Talk later.
Tell me, what's your favorite show to watch?

#30days: 9 Months Of My Year
Hello, Lovelies
Either way, it's not like we have a choice.
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'How important you think education is.'
Based solely on the fact that by the time I finish college I would have spent 9 months each year for 18 years going to school, my opinion is very biased. Nonetheless, education is important. It's necessary despite the fact that almost every person, I'm going off of my experience and what I've heard, hates school.
It's not always fun, it's not always bad, but it's almost never fun. Tons of homework, drama, more homework. Whatever. It's important.
Getting a good education matters especially if you want a specific job, but is required by everyone as to help students reach their full potential. This of course also depends on the school and teachers, but that's another story.
Either way, it's not like we have a choice.
As always, feel free to leave comments.

#30days: R-E-S-P-E-C-T, or Not So Much
Hello, Lovelies
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'Disrespecting your parents.'
Although disrespecting our parents is never a good thing, it happens. Even the best of us lose our tempers, or are fighting for something we believe. We don't think that our parents understand, so we go against their wishes. Really, they only have our best interests at heart.
I often find myself irritated when I don't think my dad is listening to me or if it seems like he doesn't care. I don't want to do something when he ask me to. For example, get him a glass of water. He was up since three-thirty in the morning, worked all day, and I'm too lazy to get him a glass of water. Sometimes, I really hate myself. Just for the record, I have been getting him water when he asks most times lately.
That is only one way of disrespecting our parents -not doing what they ask. There are many ways we could disrespect our parents. Countless ways! It's our job as children to respect them, do as they say, and trust that they have our best interests at heart.
Feel free to leave your thought on respecting our parents in the comments below.

#30days: Believing
Hello, Lovelies
I have chatted on here a little bit about my beliefs before, but not a great deal.
I grew up in a Christian family, and I believe in God. I went to church regularly up until eighth grade (it was a bit of a tough year for me. Lots went down), and I'm not against going now. It's just been so long. I try to pray and read my Bible every day now. If you want to talk about religion or a Bible verse or something, I will participate in conversation, but don't want to be too pushy if people don't seem interested. So, I generally keep to myself about it. I don't want to be one of those hypocritical people who calls themselves Christian, but everyone hates them because the judge. I try not to judge people before I get to know them.

#30days: The Highs, The Lows of the Year
Hello, Lovelies
It is hard for me to pinpoint the highs and lows of the year. I just find it difficult. Normally I have an off day here and there, but sometimes have a bad month all together. When this occurs, I tune everything out lost in my own thoughts. It makes it harder to remember exactly what may have happened during that time. My good days are then shadowed by these day. Nonetheless, I will talk about generally good and bad times/months/events and activities.
Color guard is almost always a high in my books. I love performing. This past summer and fall was a bit different though. The color guard was a ends and everything was blown out of proportion. It was ridiculous, crazy, awful, and rarely okay. Yes, there were some good moments, but mostly it was a hot mess. So much drama, and it really took a toll on myself and my fellow guard members. I still loved performing despite these problems.
Chairing for band was another low for my year. I didn't get first chair like everyone was expecting including myself. I had to do a challenge thing against a sophomore girl to see who would be first and second chairs. We played a 30 measure 16th note run and I sucked so bad. It was awful; I was so disappointed in myself. Then I had to hear from literally everyone about how I should challenge her and get first chair. Blah, blah, blah, I was so tired of hearing it from everyone because I never asked for them to tell me what to do. Whatever.
A high of the past year was when my sister graduated from high school. I helped plan and decorate for her open house that not many people showed up to. It was a good time of celebration though, even if she didn't start college in the fall like she had planned and wanted.
February wasn't terrible, but I always have mixed feelings when my birthday rolls around. A normal low for me, so I wasn't really expecting anything super fantastic. I have had worse birthdays than my 17th, but I always have too high of expectations and end up feeling like no one cares. Which is true; no one really cares about another stupid birthday. Everyone has one, so it's nothing special.

#30days: The Mainstream
Hello, Lovelies
I think most people can agree when it is said that they have a secret party song that is repeated on the radio nine times a day for a solid month. By the time a month goes by, they hate the song and never want to hear it again. It happens all the time.
Personally, I can almost listen to the radio. But not quite. The songs are stuck on replay or are really inappropriate. Sometimes both. I prefer to listen to up and coming bands and indie or alternate bands and artists. I like to not be forced to listen to the same repeated junk on the radio, but rather have my own, individual style and favorites. I am an individual with thoughts people.
I really branched out with my music. I used to only listen to the radio when I was younger. It was very influential, but not necessarily in a good way. Finding my own favorites, my own music preferance was really eye opening.
So, to respond to the topic. Mainstream music can be good sometimes, but is hard to find because the population is influencing it and putting it an a mold. This ruins the music. Having your own style and favorites is better; you can better express yourself. You might find it surprising how much you like an up and coming band or a lesser known song.

Today's topic is: 'Your earliest memory.'
We were playing under clothes baskets, pretending they were cars. Funny because now I'm seventeen, I hate driving, and I don't have my license. My three-year-old self didn't know any better.
My sister, 5, and I were having the best time under those clothes baskets. Smiling, laughing, we didn't know of the rest of the world while we were playing in our living room. We didn't worry about boys, college, money, jobs, taxes. We didn't know to. We knew that we were two girls with a little brother, sitting on the living room floor with baskets over our heads.
Those were good times.

My aunt went to Aruba while she was in the Navy, and she got my sister, brother, and I bracelets. I always wore mine as an anklet because I have tiny wrists.

#30days: My First Time
Hello, Lovelies
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'Discuss your first love and first kiss.'
Whoa, getting personal.
You may or may not find it hard to believe, but I have never been kissed. No, not once. When I say never been kissed, I mean no boy has ever kissed me. Not on the lips, cheek, or hand. Well, only my adorable little cousins and that really doesn't count.
As far as 'first love', I don't think I have ever loved a boy. I do remember having a little-kid crush on a second grade boy while I was in first. That means I was about seven years old. I thought this kid was the cutest thing ever, but I only saw him on the playground at recess. And I sat with him on the bus.
After school, for a year or two, I would ride the bus to my great grandma's house. On the bus, I would sit with a kind-of-really-opinionated-to-the-point-of-rude girl in my grade and the boy that I thought was just oh-so cute.
Truth be told, I have only ever talked to him a handful of times to this day.
I don't mind sharing this with you because I doubt anyone even remembers who I sat with on the bus when I was in first grade other than myself. But that doesn't mean I'm going to give you names. Not happening.
To sum this post up, my first crush was on a boy who I sat with on the bus, and the movie Never Been Kissed is the story of my life.
Do tell your first little-kid crush in the comments (you can leave out names).

#30days: Hoping
Hello, Lovelies
I'm just wishing and hoping, praying and thinking.
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'How you hope your future will be.'
Let's be honest, I talk about this A LOT.
I want to get married to a loving husband and buy our own place.
I will decorate (with some input from him, of course).
A couple years after we get married I would like to have a little, baby boy.
Then a girl.
Then another girl.
Then a boy.
Not all at once! 9 years from the first to the last.
I want a job where I can do something I love and pick my own hours, at least for the most part (so I can be with my family and actually have a life). For instance, writing and photography.
I want to trust God wholeheartedly. I'm working on it.
I hope to be really happy even when I'm sad.

#30days: Satisfaction
Hello, Lovelies
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'A moment you felt the most satisfied with your life.'
Upon reading the topic, I immediately think 'I have no idea.' I could write about color guard, but making it after tryouts was mostly just happy. I could talk about the happiest time of my life, but still, that's happiness. Also, the topic asks for a specific moment. Try again.
Then I thought 'This is my blog and my April's Feature, I will bend the rules whichever way I want.' So, I will do just that. I will be writing about the time I think I will be most satisfied with my life.
I believe that the time I will be most satisfied with my life is when I am happily married and have a family. I know I talk about it ALL the time, but I am genuinely so excited for it. Of course, this may not be God's plan for me (I have no idea), but I hope that a family is in my future. Thinking about it makes me happy and excited (despite what everyone says), and I really do think that that will be my moment.

#30days: Horoscope
Hello, Lovelies
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'Your zodiac sign and if you think it fits your personality.'
Zodiac sign: Aquarius
Symbol: Water Bearer
Interpretation: Living Water or Noah's Flood
When it comes to the personality an Aquarius is allegedly supposed to have, I find many different sources stating many different things. If I were to go to this website, I would say that I don't agree with most of the characteristics they label me as. And just so you know, I hate silver and blue colors.
But, if I were to take the Aquarius Barbie I received as a child and looked at the characteristics it stated on the back (which I may or may not vaguely remember), I would agree with more of the points they label Aquariuses as.
Yet, I am my own person. Not one person born under the sign of Aquarius, or any other sign for that matter, fits with all the characteristics. And with so many sources saying so many things a person should be because they are born on a certain date under a certain sign, it becomes a jumbled mess that I find hard to believe. I find it hard to believe that anyone believes in the mumble jumble 'stuff' they label people as.
So, to respond to the topic, I don't think my personality fits under this sign. I think my personality just is.

#30days: The 30
Hello, Lovelies
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'Write 30 interesting facts about yourself.'
September 7, 2013 I published a post called 'I Am'. You can read it HERE. This is the closest I have ever gotten to writing interesting facts about myself. Nonetheless, here I go again.
- I have still yet to tell my family about my two blogs. It's crazy for me to think that I have this whole little community on the internet that it so separated from the rest of my life. Part of the reason why I haven't told them is because I don't want to feel influenced by them to put something up on either one of my blogs.
- For one year and twenty two days I have been vegetarian. I just really hate meat. Even the smell makes me sick.
- I am the only vegetarian in my family and I get crap for it all the time. Not by everyone, but a lot of family doesn't get it.
- I plan on making my senior prom dress out of duct tape. I have sketched so many designs for it, and I'm really excited to see if it turns out.
- 5 Seconds of Summer is my all time favorite band. If you know me, you already knew that I love them Australian boys!
- I got a 25 on my ACT, but I refuse to be defined by a number.
- Neon orange is my favorite color on this entire planet. I don't think there is one other person who loves neon orange as much as I do.
- The Duggar family is really inspiring and I love watching their show. You can follow them on twitter @duggarfam. It's the real account.
- My feet are two different sizes. The left is 6 1/2 and the right is 7 1/2. As you would probably imagine, it makes buying shoes difficult.
- My all time favorite song is Love Remains the Same by Gavin Rossdale. Go give it a listen!
- Although I'm not a particularly huge fan of candy, my favorite is the Warheads sour hard candies.
- I cannot express to you how much I hate shoe shopping.
- I don't wear a lot of makeup in general. In fact, I didn't wear any makeup to school for the past three weeks.
- I am incredibly excited to get married, start a family, and have my own house to furnish and decorate!
- I pray and read my bible every day.
- I don't like tea. Therefore, I don't like Arizona tea, but I do like their Fruit Punch and Mucho Mango juice which they are not known for.
- Prom is a month away and I am really excited. I've had my dress since September.
- I've never been out of the country, but I do have a passport. If anyone is going on a trip and would pay for my ticket and such, I would be a great person to bring. *hint, hint* Preferably someplace warm.
- My favorite food is either hash browns, mashed potatoes, or salad. And garlic.
- I don't drink soda. It tastes bad and gives me a stomach ache. Anything caffeinated kills my stomach.
- Performing for color guard is my most favorite thing ever. It makes me so happy to be out on the field with a flag in my hand. I love the practices, too. Spinning is the highlight of my summers.
- I broke my face spinning two years ago.
- I have a phobia towards spiders. They make me so nauseous. If you bring a spider towards me for any reason, I will puke on you. Not kidding.
- I haven't figured out how to use the photo editor I downloaded, so all my photographs are straight out of camera.
- Lilies are my favorite flowers. My dad gets a bouquet of them for me for my birthday every year.
- I tend to be a very emotional person. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.
- I love to travel and see new places. To go to a new place and do new things is so exciting. Nervous but exciting. At the same time, I do like to stay comfortable.
- I like to wake up early in the summertime, so I can watch Good Morning America.
- All I really do in the summer is spin, and lay in the sun on my fake hammock.
- If I can't find one of my many chapsticks, I will go crazy. Chapstick is a must have.

#30days: The End?
Hello, Lovelies
Today's topic is a tough one, but I feel like the majority of people have come to a point in their life and thought 'I really hate who I am, and I want to die.' Maybe not exactly in those words, but you get the point.
This time for me was in eighth grade.
Eighth grade was a doozy. It really threw me for a loop. So many things happened while I was in eighth grade that I have never really talked about with anyone. Not even my family. With that said, I'm not going to relish here on my blog about it. To be honest, I don't particularly like to think about that time, let alone share it. Maybe someday I'll tell you that story.
I will tell you this.
I was really depressed. I took everything to heart. I didn't have anyone I could trust. I thought, "What if I just died?" a lot that year. I didn't think anyone cared. I felt bullied. I was really, really sad.
I'm not completely sure why I didn't ever kill myself. Something stopped me every single time I thought about it. I'm lucky for that. So many people kill themselves because they feel as if they have no one and nothing to lose. It saddens me to think about.
Since I'm being completely honest (I like to think that my little piece of the internet here is just that), I put this #30days post til last minute because I have never felt completely ready to share it. Even now. Even after three years. I also didn't know what to say.
All I know is that I don't what anyone feeling sorry for me. I don't want you to pity me. I have not had the thought to kill myself or wish to die in a while, and I don't want people spending time feeling bad for me. That's not what I want.
I do want you to think about what you say before you say it. I do want you to be compassionate towards people, whoever it may be, because you don't know their story. I do want you to think. I do want you to be considerate.
And trust me, I know that it may seem difficult some days, especially when you're upset or irritated, but try. You might surprise yourself.

Today's topic is: 'A time you thought about ending your own life.'
Today's topic is a tough one, but I feel like the majority of people have come to a point in their life and thought 'I really hate who I am, and I want to die.' Maybe not exactly in those words, but you get the point.
This time for me was in eighth grade.
Eighth grade was a doozy. It really threw me for a loop. So many things happened while I was in eighth grade that I have never really talked about with anyone. Not even my family. With that said, I'm not going to relish here on my blog about it. To be honest, I don't particularly like to think about that time, let alone share it. Maybe someday I'll tell you that story.
I will tell you this.

8:17 is the time I took this photo. It makes me so happy to say that when a couple months ago it would be dark by 5 pm. I am SO ready for spring... and summer.

#30days: Religion
Hello, Lovelies
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE.
Today's topic is: 'Your views on religion.'
Everyone needs something to believe in. Whether you say you believe in God or not is your own, but everyone believes something.
I have met many people who say that they don't believe in God or heaven, but they believe in hell. I know people who are Christian, Catholic, and nonbelievers. Personally, my family is Christian. I grew up believing in God. I still do.
While there is so much to say on this subject, I really don't know what to say.
Religion humbles people. Some of the nicest people I know are religious. And, while I have met some religious people who are not so nice, religion is something that I find necessary to live a meaningful life.

#30days: Controversy
Hello, Lovelies
To learn what #30days is all about, click HERE
Today's topic is: 'Your views on drugs and alcohol.'
I am quickly going to remind you that everything I publish on this blog (and my second blog for that matter) are my own thoughts and opinions. You may not agree with them and that is fine. Like I said, it's an opinion. Mine and yours; they don't need to be the same. Even so, I almost always ask for your thoughts in the comments.
With that said, let us advance to the topic at hand.
Drugs and alcohol is a very controversial topic and I am quite grateful for the opportunity to be able to write about in a relaxed setting such as my blog. It gives me a chance to voice my opinion on the subject without having other people interrupting to counter my opinion.
Drugs for a medical use that are used in a controlled, appropriate setting are absolutely okay. They are necessary to help with sickness, injury, and surgery. Nothing wrong with that. Although I prefer natural healing, sometimes doctor prescriptions are necessary.
On the other hand, when drugs are used wrongfully it is not okay. When drugs are used as an escape for problems, it is not okay. There are better ways to handle a situation. So many better ways. And the fact that so many people find drugs necessary to handle a situation breaks my heart. Then they get addicted, and you end up seeing them on reality TV shows like Beyond Scared Straight and sad youtube videos.
I can truthfully say that I have never taken drugs of any kind other than my own doctor prescriptions. I hold myself to high standards and never plan on taking drugs to escape my problems. The same goes for alcohol.
Drinking to get drunk is completely wrong. The idea that you can drink away a situation or problem is completely ridiculous. It's not true. Being drunk has no benefits. In fact, it's harmful. It's harmful to your body, to the people around you, to your relationships.
I must acknowledge the fact that some people only drink occasionally or for religious reasons. It would not be harmful then.
Overall, I must say that I am against drugs and alcohol. There are certain situations where they are appropriate, but are abused so often I would recommend avoiding them all together.
