Day 51- TWILIGHT!

Okay so yes I like Twilight. Do I love it? No. Am I a twi-hard? It's a possibility. I never have been to a midnight showing of a movie until Thursday night/Friday morning. My good friend Brooke and I went. We went into Grand Rapids, got some Steak & Shake, then were headed to the movie. I just so happened to get pulled over. I was freaking out. I don't like cops, and that sounds stupid because I'm pretty sure no one likes cops, haha. I didn't get a ticket, he told me that my headlight was out and my tail lights were out. Turns out I really just forgot to turn on my lights, hahaha. I thought this was pretty funny. The movie was great, I encourage you to see it.

Now for Friday morning. PURE HELL. Brooke and I got home at 3am. So that means we got 3 1/2 hours of sleep that night. I had a nice shirt and everything to wear for this day, but I just couldn't do it. I had to wear a sweatshirt!

I didn't have a good picture of my outfit for my blog today. Since you can't tell from this photo, I wore skinny jeans, a sweatshirt, and my brown leather jacket. I also wore glasses which you won't see often :)

Friday night, my friend Alley gave Spencer and I tickets to the MSU basketball game. We went and had a super fun time. She gave us tickets for tonight's game too! So we got to go to tonight's game as well. This weekend was very good :)

Day 50

Today is a big day for me! Get ready for it....

IT'S BEEN 50 DAYS, AND I HAVEN'T WORN THE SAME OUTFIT!

For me, this is a milestone. I'm pretty happy about this one. I'm going to try to make it to 100, but I am not sure if that's possible. Yes, I have a bigger closet than most girls my age, but looking at it is hard for me to think I can make it to 100 days. Will I try to, yes. Think about this too, everyone has those clothes that they have in their closet that just take up space. WEAR THEM! I just went through my closet, and got rid of all the clothes I honestly think I won't wear.

Today's outfit came from..

yoga pants: Victoria's Secret

shirt- H&M

Day 49

Today's outfit was bought for my Senior Pictures. Well the dress was anyways. The boots and tights I got this weekend when I went shopping. I curled my hair today, and let me tell ya, I was very sketchy about it. This is because I didn't know what my hair would look like curled when it's this short. My hair has been long for quite some time. My hair does not grow fast whatsoever.

Today's outfit came from...

Dress: Vanity

Tights: JC Penny's

Boots: Sears

 For some reason this makes my hair look frizzy. I don't think it looked that frizzy though, haha. I had to fix the brightness because I wanted to show the flower in my hair.

Today during my 4th and 5th hour, I saw our schools production of The Apple Tree. It was very good, I encourage you to watch it if you get the chance. I laughed more than once in all 3 Acts. If you don't know about this play, it's split up into 3 Acts, each one a different story.

Act 1- Adam & Eve

Act 2- The king's daughter wants to marry a commoner, the king finds out and gives him the usual punishment. He has to pick one of 2 doors. One has a tiger behind it, and one has a lady he must marry. The kings daughter finds out what is behind which door. and so she chooses whether he dies, or marry's another woman. (at least that's what I got from it)

Act 3- A girl named Ella that wants to be a movie star

Each Act was very funny.

I wish I had some Gushers.

Day 48- opening day & car troubles.

I wanted to start off today's post with a cute picture of Sawyer from Saturday.

I didn't attend school today. I decided to go hunting. I woke up at 5am to the sound of my Dad's alarm. I wasn't supposed to get up until 5:30am so I layed in bed sluggishly for about 20 minutes. My Dad asked if I wanted to hunt together (him and I) or separately. I've hunted by myself one time, and I didn't like it very much. One of the main reasons is because I don't like cougars. I swear they're in Michigan, and none of you will make me think differently! Also, I like hunting with my dad. it's kind of like a bonding time for us I suppose.

So this morning, I did not get anything. I did shoot, only at a 4 point. Now I don't want anybody commenting or telling me "you're one of those people that shoots 1 yr old's and spikes and blah blah blah". I've seen enough of that on facebook today as is! I went in planning on shooting any buck that walked by. My reasoning for this is because I doubt I will be hunting again with my dad. There's another last.

Today was the last time I will be going deer hunting with my Dad.

Every opening morning since I was about 10 my dad and I have gone out on opening morning together, and the youth hunt. It does make me upset that we wont be doing this anymore. It's not that I am choosing not to, but for the next 4 years I will be in college and won't be able to.

I forgot to take a picture in my camo before I left this morning, so I just took a picture of what I wore to work. Nothing special, I didn't want to waste a good outfit :) not that work didn't deserve it!

My not so wonderful Dynaride

Funny thing happened to me today. My car has really been acting up lately. Here is a list of things that have gone wrong with it within the last 2-3 weeks.

• Tape player no longer works.
• Cruise no longer works.
• Passenger side window won't roll down.
• Center counsel won't stay closed.
• Rearview mirror came off (that one I just had to slide back on, but for about a mile I had to hold it up myself)
• Automatic lock system won't work 

Now let me tell you the downfalls to all of these things..

tape player: I can no longer listen to music I want to.

cruise: I speed like a mofo without realizing it.

window: If I want to roll down my window to talk to someone, I have to roll down the back one like a dunce.

center counsel: just annoying.

mirror: My arm got tired from holding it, haha.

lock system: I never lock my car because I don't want to put the key in it (call me lazy)

Lock system happened about a week ago. Today I went to Shell because I needed gas, and I was going to Danica and Derrica's to watch gLee so since I hadn't had dinner yet, I decided I'd get some Subway. I brought my Nook to work today, and I didn't want to take it into Shell, so for once, I decided to lock my car. I went in, got my subway and paid for my gas and went back out to my car. I put the key in and it wouldn't unlock. I turned it the other way, wouldn't unlock. I tried this quite a few times before thinking okay I'll just go to the passenger side to unlock it. So that's what I did. I unlocked it from that side and pressed the button. Went back over to the drivers side and the handle is now broken. 

I had to climb into the passenger side of my car in public today just to get into it.

There's another one added to the list!

Thanks for reading today's post.

Day 47- forgetful me

This morning........... I forgot... to take a picture. I know I know, don't freak out okay. I figured out once I got to school. Don't worry tho, cus I took a picture after school :)

I WENT SHOPPING THIS WEEKEND!

I got so many new clothes to add to my closet. My closet is overflowing. From today's outfit, the boots are new, the high socks are new, and the shirt is new.

Today's outfit came from...

Shirt- JC Penny's

Denim Leggings- DSW

High Socks- DSW

Boots- Sears

These high socks are pretty fashionable right now, in my eyes at least. They are meant to be worn with boots, so dont wear them by themselves! Boots are also in. They really make the "fall and winter looks".

Also, if you can't tell... I GOT A HAIR CUT!

5 inches off to be exact. That's a lot off for me. I love it though, and I also got it colored.

Thanks for reading today's post :)

wishes

Friday was 11.11.11. Yes, I am that girl that wished at 11:11 am and 11:11 pm that day. Yes, I am that girl that thought this day was going to be spectacular. Well it wasn't all I had it cracked up to be, and that's one of the things I don't like about me. I always realize "lasts". 

Here are some examples of what I mean by "lasts".

On the first day of school: "This is my last first day of school"

 At the last football game: "This is my last time in the student section for a game"

                                 "This is the last time I will be rowing in the student section"

               On my Birthday: "This is my last birthday at home"

There are tons more. I probably think of one everyday. 

Now, today's blog is titled wishes. I just wanted to share all my wishes at my point in life right now.

I WISH..

• I knew what I was going to do with my future.
• I knew what college I'm going to end up going to.
• I knew what I am going to be when I get older.
• I didn't have to pay for all of my own things.
• My brother was born earlier so I could establish a really good relationship with him before I leave.
• I had siblings closer to my age, so I could have someone to tell everything to.
• I wish I had that one person back that I could trust.
• I would just go blonde like I've always wanted to.
• High school would never end.
• I felt more comfortable around people I don't know.
• I could trust at least one person and tell them everything.
• I was forgiving.
• I had a better relationship with God.

Today has really gotten me to thinking. I love my life that I'm living, but there is something missing. And I'm starting to realize what it is.

Thanks for reading today's post.

Day 45- rockin' face

Rockin'. Today I knew I kind of wanted to wear a regular T-shirt. But I didn't want to just wear regular jeans. I went with a more "rock" or "punk" look I guess today. I think this shirt is just really funny. I didn't end up wearing my hair like this the whole day either, I wore it in a little bun on the side of my head. I liked it a lot, today was very laid back.

I have some good news as well :). So I retook my ACT's this October. On my first ACT I got a 22. This second time, I got a 25 :) :) :)

I'm so happy! this increases my chances of getting into MSU! Hopefully I will for sure get in now.

Thanks for reading today's post :)
