Mostly Classy; Always Sassy!: "What I've learned...

is not to change who you are, because eventually you're going to run out of new things to become." - Taylor Swift

Everyone wants to fit in! But sometimes it's better to stand out!

In high school especially, there's a constant pressure to "have what everyone else has". From experience, I can honestly say that I understand this pressure. For example, a few years back (maybe my freshmen year) a trend emerged that I simply couldn't be left out of... black fingernail polish. Everyone painted their fingernails black. It was cute and a little edgy! So of course, I joined in. I rode right to Wal-Mart and bought myself some dark black fingernail polish. Unfortunatly I found out later that the polish was actually dark purple; but that's beside the point. The point of my little story was to emphasize the pressure of "fitting in!" No one wants to be the girl who sits alone at lunch! Even if you're the type of person who stresses being a "non conformist," you still want to be surrounded by someone. At least to share ideas or something.

I believe that you should be the type of person to start trends! As cliche as that sounds, it's actually true. A person that isn't afraid to do something, most of the time, will go farther in their life that someone who simply blends in. This also means that you should embrace your individuality! Everyone has something that makes them unique. Whether it's your haircolor, physical traits, personality, or passion; embrace what makes you different.

Also, you shouldn't try to change who you are inside. Everyone is specially made, with different likes and dislikes. Because of this fact, you shouldn't try and become someone you're not. It's much easier to just be yourself!

I also believe that you should find something that makes you happy and embrace it. Most people are born with a talent, gift, or just something that they're drawn to. In my opinion, you should use that special gift to really impact the world. For example, if you're gifted with a talented voice... use it! It will not only make you happy, but it could possibly have a positive impact of the life of another. Another example would be my good friend, Jessica. She has a "passion for fashion" and she really embraces her gift of style! I personally, haven't quite uncovered my true passion yet. I'm interested in a lot of things, but I haven't exactly discovered the one thing that could really impact myself as well as others. Hopefully soon, I'll find the one thing that can really make me shine!

"Now heres whats happening in your neck of the woods!" (Al Roker; the Today Show): Today has been pretty sweet! It was definately the most stressful day of the week, regarding tests and quizzes. But I got through it! The most fun part of my day occured just a few short minutes ago when my mom called me a "hater"! I didn't even realize she knew what that word meant; but apparently she's picking up the new "lingo" fast! Also, lately i've been really hooked on Fit TV! If you have regular channels or Cable TV, you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. But anyway it's a channel that plays exercise videos nonstop! And its fabulous! I really enjoy the dancing videos! Even though I'm not the best dancer... it's still a lot of fun! I seriously recommend it! For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I included a link to the channel's website. You really should try it out!

Also, for your entertainment, I found this really adorable picture of my puppy on my step-father's memory card! He's so cute with his blue eyes and his ear turned around!
