Day 87- blood drive #2

Well today was our 2nd blood drive and it went well. I gave blood along with quite a few other people. Us STUCO members had to be to the school at 5:30 AM to set up. Well we didn't have to do this, but if we wanted free McDonald's for breakfast, we did :) It's been a long day! It was nice not going to my classes though. I had to wake up at 5am which was rough, I'll admit. I do like giving blood though. It makes me feel good to know I'm saving 3 people's lives potentially. This was my 3rd time, so I've saved 9 so far :) This is something I would like to continue to do throughout my lifetime.

I didn't take a picture in front of the door because I spent the night at Kelsey's last night.

Day 86

I accidentally slept in today which makes me really mad because I like my 1st hour. I just get to draw and paint! Who wouldn't like that!? My outfit I kind of threw together last minute, which it may not seem like.

Today's outfit came from...

Shirt- Meijers $6.50!

Jeans- Love Culture

Boots- Sears

I tried something new with my hair today, a "Waterfall Braid". I like it, I wish I had more time to play with it, but since I was already running late, I had to go as quick as possible today.

I am spending my night with my good pal Kelsey.

Task #2- letter

Task #2

A friend of mine, Kalli Barrone, picked this task to put in my jar. I was more than happy to do it too! She goes to the University of Michigan for Art I believe. She's a really nice, funny, pretty girl! I put the letter in a bigger bubble wrap envelope because there is a small surprise in there for her! I would tell you what it is, but she hasn't gotten the package yet, so I don't want to ruin it for her in case she reads this before she gets it!

Friday, my mum let me skip 1st and 2nd hour of school, which I was very thankful for! I showed up just before my lunch. After school I found out I had play practice. It was a lot of fun! It took place from 3-5:30 and we basically did choreography the whole time. It was a good time. That night I went to the basketball game! Sadly, the Varsity boys lost, but the Varsity girls won! 

Friday's outfit came from...

Yoga Pants- Victoria's Secret

Shirt- H&M

Shoes- Target

Day 84

I've been so stressed out lately. I hate it. I'm hoping the future is brighter than right now, but my only thoughts right now are, " I can't wait to get out of here." Get out of here as in go off to college, get away from Lakewood and a majority of the people in it. I really do have a good heart and it really hurts my feelings when I hear of other people talking bad about me, especially when I haven't done anything to them and thought we were so close. It is a small town, I hear things, and these things hurt my feelings. Some people don't realize how easy it is to hurt someone elses feelings. You may not think I know, but I do.

I'm so stressed about school, and it's not even my classes. My classes are fairly easy. It's one teacher who really makes my day hell. I dread that class, and every day I'm upset afterwards. I'm really sick of it, and it's too late to drop the class. I am just praying these next few weeks go by very quickly.

 I know I don't mention much about Spencer on here. This is because I'm not that girl that talks on the Internet about how much I like my boyfriend and how he is the greatest and blah blah blah. I don't like to read it when other girls post stuff like this, so I will not be one of those girls. Spencer really does help me with a lot of this stuff though and I'm so thankful for it. It just makes me happy when he sits and listens and tries to understand how I feel. He always says the right things and I'm truly thankful to have someone like him in my life.

Today's outfit came from...

Tank top- H&M

Cardigan-Cherokee Brand

Jeans- Forever 21

Shoes- Payless

Day 83

4Well today was an odd one! My outfit was very colorful might I add. As you know, I'm not really a colorful girl. A boy, Micah, in my grade asked me if I got the dress from Africa. I replied yes, and started to do an African like dance.

Today's outfit came from...

Dress- Charlotte Russe

Tights- JC Penny's

Boots- Sears

This dress was less than $10 also! Great deal!

Tonight I'm going to the Rivertown Mall with two of muh best friends, Aisha and Brooke. I'm really excited, I haven't been there in a while.

I love my friends. They truly are great!

Day 82

Ahh today.. was fairly good! Not a bad day what so ever. Was I upset we had school today? Oh of course! But it was bound to happen sometime. We had a snow day yesterday. Unexpected, but nice. I spent it making baby food for my bro, and working from 3-7. It was hard for me to wake up this morning, let me tell ya. I tried on this outfit this weekend and decided I liked it, so I took it off and put on something different to go on my date. I personally love this picture. I don't really know why.

Today's outfit came from...

Shirt- The Buckle

Denim Leggings- DSW

Scarf- So Simply

Boots- Meijers

At first I thought there was too much going on with this outfit, and truthfully I still think that. But sometimes, a lot of stuff going on is a good thing! My scarf matched my shirt believe it or not, but it had the same colors and everything so as odd as it is, they go together in my eyes. I realize you don't see somebody wearing winter boots with a fashionable outfit, but I decided to. I like this look a lot! This just shows that you can try putting together different things that might not go together in the first place. I admit, sometimes I put together things that should not be together, and maybe you think this outfit is one of them! Let me know what you think, I love other people's input. Tell me some crazy fashion ideas you've had yourself but have been too afraid to try!

Task #1- Mascot

Task 1

I was very worried this task would not work out. I asked our Student Council President if anyone already wanted to be the Mascot for the Basketball game Friday. He said yes, and another boy in our grade already wanted to be it. I got a text from him a few days later asking if I still wanted to be the Mascot. Of course I said yes.

As you can see, I was a little on the short side, but that's okay.

At half time, I went out on the court and danced. That was pretty fun! I will put a video on here later of it :)

Even Sawyer came to the game to watch Spencer play ball and watch his sis be the Mascot.

Okay, so I don't have a blog for Friday. I went on my MSU visit! It was pretty good. I wish I would've visited Ferris or Western first though. People say they know when they go to  a college once they visit. They just know. I'm not sure if that was what I felt. It's such a great school though, I really do love it.

HAPPY 6 MONTHS SAWYER!

My lil bro is getting so big! This is such a funny picture!
