Where did you see yourself after high school?

A lot has been going through my mind everyone. I graduated May 21st, and I didn't even know what college I was going to. My mind was still in the "I am in high school" phase, but it was time for my mind to be on that "Get on your grind" phase. I know where I want to be in life, but I obviously can't get there without the help of God. The Lord showed me Birmingham-Southern College when I was loosing hope and deciding to settle. He told me that the plan he had for my life couldn't be formatted in my town. I had to eave and experience the world on my own while strengthening my relationship with God. He knew that my goals had to be achieved outside of Tennessee. We all have dreams, and mine is to be the best photographer out there. It may seem like a childish goal, especially when there are so many people in my chosen field. Will I let that stop me? Definitely not. I wasn't raised to not fight for what I want. So many disappointments have ruled over my life, but mostly from my Pops. The words that come from my mouth is that I am better than my dad, and I will be successful; however, how am I better than him, yet I can't keep my promises just like him. The stereotype in my family is that we all get pregnant before we leave high school. I am proud to say that I have beat that stereotype, but have I truly beat all of them. No, I don't keep my promises then I try to blame everyone else on why I cannot keep true to my word. Recently, I have discovered the rapper G-Eazy- shout out to my friend Joella. I listened to his music because it was attention grabbing, and he is extremely fine. After I watched a couple of interviews about his life, my infatuation changed from attraction to admiration. To hear his story, and see how successful he has become is really inspirational. I realized that I want to be like him. I want to understand the struggle because at the end God is preparing me for His task over my life. No one can tell me that this man (G-Eazy) hasn't achieved anything because he has basically started his own company. How many people can say that for themselves? I admire him, and if I ever got the chance to interview and have a photo shoot with him I would take it. Editing those photos would be epic to me because I would have to opportunity to show everyone that I am better than what they say about me. G-Eazy, if you ever read this, I would like to thank you for inspiring me. From his music and my friends, I have finally realized that I can't wait for the opportunities to come after me. The opportunities will come to me when I work extremely hard for them. Besides that melodrama, how has everyone been? Let me know and leave comments about what you all think about today's post.


Would you all like to hear some good news? Of course you do! I have been asked to be the junior editor for the newsletter Pampered Pretty by Ms. Corene Gardner. Which by the way you should check her business and newsletter out. Sadly, I will not be able to take the opportunity because I have started college, but I am grateful that I was even considered. During the summertime, I was on the production team for my church and I got to intern with Mr. Rodney in his photography business Media Messiah. How much excitement could one girl take! I have waited 5 long years for an opportunity to do something of this caliber. Thank you God, and thank you mom. My motivation and inspiration. It may not be a big break, but it's better than where I was before. Of course I can't forget my passion. Recently, I have been trying to start a photography club at the Boys & Girls Club named #ProjectCreate. This program is to ignite the children's brains to desire the beauty of Art or just to have a release. The only problem with my club is finding a grant or getting the money to purchase cameras and software etc. However, I am not going to stress over it. I will just keep fighting for my club because I want to help children. If you have any topic that you want me to discuss or elaborate on, just leave a comment. The scripture for today is Genesis 45:7-8. Make sure to check it out. I must say it is truly inspirational. It gave me hope when I had none, and for that I can only give thanks to God. Anyways, I love you all. Try to be more active in commenting; however, if you are going to be rude keep it to yourself. Have an excellent day!!!!!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
