If it has stars on it, it's 110% on-brand for me!

From The Girl Who Gets Starry Eyed For Stars Of Any Kind

As an Integrated Marketing Communications major, I 110% believe in the importance and power of brands: not only for a company but also for individuals. With that being said, stars are 110% a part of my personal brand.

First and foremost, my love for stars is actually connected to my never-ending desire to worship our Heavenly Father.

One of my all-time favorite worship songs is "So Will I" by Hillsong United. In the words of Hillsong United, "This song is about God as an artisan, this song is about God as an artist working his masterpiece, a work of art called love... The whole picture is response. If the stars were made to worship so will I... the more we thought about it there was just endless metaphors and pictures and things that came back to this response. And maybe nothing better than if You laid Your life down, if you gladly chose surrender so will I. And if You left the grave behind You so will I. To me that's everything, the entire story of why we're here and our purpose and what it means to follow Jesus and live for Him."

I know that's a long quote, but it speaks so much truth. If the stars were made to worship so will I...

Secondly, stars are such a fun fashion trend to spice up any outfit.

To be completely honest, I was pretty against the whole star trend at first. I just didn't really understand the hype around it. But I was all in after a simple tee purchase for July 4th. Now? It's very likely that I will have something associated with stars on me or with me at all times, especially when I dress up for formals. (Because these big star earrings are just too cute to not wear all the time.)

I'm being serious: I'll always have something on or with me that has stars on it.

During the school year, I always have my planner with me, which of course has stars on it. Furthermore, I am almost always wearing my star ring, which was given to me by my best friend and her boyfriend with the quote, "good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you know they're always there" because we attend college in different states.

And lastly, AMERICA!!!

Stars are just a part of who we are.

I don't know what it was about the star trend that I just did not like at first: maybe I just didn't think I was the type of girl that could pull off a fairly new trend, or maybe I was afraid of what others would think or me, or maybe I just simply was comfortable where I was at and didn't want to change up my current go-to styles and accessories.

Whatever the case may be, I gained some confidence in myself when I realized that stars were a part of my personal brand. I guess I just realized at some point that I just really liked stars in general, and as the love for stars grew, I started to understand why.

So, you may not be into the whole star trend, or maybe you are, but either way, I highly encourage you to not only think about your personal brand but also go after it with confidence.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
