the final homecoming
Well the time has come, I had my last homecoming this past weekend and it was everything I expected and more. There is something about everyone being together in the sweaty gym together for the last time that makes it all seem so real. Like wow, four years ago we had literally no idea how to dance or what to wear and now it is something we could do in our sleep. I am going to miss the cheesy music, the horrid slow dances, and of course those horrible posed pictures but don't worry my friends....senior prom is just six short months away but prom is for sure its' own monster!

so here's what you missed....
I think that it's time that I sort of had the chance to catch everyone up on where in the world I have been and explain myself. By the way my title totally made me think of the introduction to a new episode of the TV show, Glee...but that is besides the point. So senior year is amongst myself and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I love my teachers, and my friends (which are totally different from last year) and life is just grand. I felt like since it has been a hot second since I had the time to sit down and write so I just wanted to catch everyone up on the past few weeks, I am working on getting a more organized system of blogging figured out so keep an eye out for another post next Sunday!
Cheerleading
Yes senior year of cheerleading has been awesome, I was actually selected to be a captain this year and as of right now our football team is undefeated and looking very strong! My squad this year is actual #squadgoals.
Friends
For anyone who has been with me since the Kaitlyn Pearls and Whales days, you would know that finding genuine people has been quite the challenge but I am so lucky to have found some of the greatest people I have ever met through my summer job as a lifeguard. We are always together and we are always sharing a laugh.
Homecoming
Actually, next weekend I will be heading on over to my boyfriend's high school for his homecoming and I am so excited! Going dress shopping this week. I always seem to be super last minute with dress shopping but I mean I always find what I am looking for!
College
So the topic that seems, well, unavoidable this year. Yes, I plan on heading to some college somewhere in America but as for right now I really have no idea where! I was recently accepted into Mississippi State University but I also just finished up the Common App and will be applying to a few more schools these next few weeks. No worries, I will for sure keep you all posted on this topic as the year progresses.
Family
My fam bam is just as happy as ever. My older of the two younger sisters I have just started her freshman year in high school and she loves it. She seems to be so much more of her own person recently, middle school was rather rough for her but she is living it up right now. My youngest sister, is starting 3rd grade and the sass is real people let me tell you!
I really am sorry for being so distant from blogging, but summer flew by and I was back in school with the blink of an eye and now here I am. So here is to senior year and actually writing more.

Strollin' into Summer
Happy Friday my loves! By the time this post goes up I will be about mid-breakdown cramming for my AP Euro test....BUT finishing that test means I am even closer to summer. Today I am happy to share this look with yall that I think is perfect for this transition into summer!

I got Two PROMS!
Happy Tuesday to all my readers out there! Were rounding third and heading home for summer break which by the way is 32 days away from when I am posting this but who is counting? As you can tell from my last few instagram posts, I had both of my proms these past two weekends! So for my first prom I had probably one of the best nights of my high school years and wouldn't have changed a single thing about it! The night was everything that I had hoped for and more! I started my day by getting my hair blown out at a local blowout bar which was absolutely amazing and made my hair look exactly how I wanted it to! So for any local readers I really recommend checking out their website- Blowout Z Bar
As for my dress- which I absolutely loved and felt like a total princess in for the night. I got it at my local Dillard's and it's a Calvin Klein and I managed to get it for an amazing price. I paired it with a pair of Steve Madden Stecy Heels and also had a big pair of Kate Spade studs and I just felt like it all worked so well together. As for my boyfriend and date, Connor, he was just wearing the traditional black tux and he was able to (all by himself might I say!) pick out a complete match in bow tie and vest and they looked awesome together. We had so much fun in our group and the pictures we took turned out so nice. We took pictures for this prom at a local park in the downtown Cincinnati area and it was a beautiful day! We were fortunate to have a friend in our group who had a professional photographer who took some of our pictures and then we were also able to take our own photos of course, and with me being a blogger and sharing pretty much every moment of my life on social media I thought it would be fun to share my prom pictures with all of you.
As for my second prom we had a great time and it was just the two of us and we decided that we really had our big prom the weekend before so this one was a bit more toned down. I did my hair myself and just went for a simple teased half-up, half-down style and it ended up looking amazing! My dress for this prom was an Adrianna Papel and it fit perfectly and I loved the material. My shoes were actually from Payless and they were the Karmen Pump, they were shorter than last weekend and just comfortable! We took our pictures at where we met, which happens to be where we both work in the summer and they turned out awesome and very funny. I was so fortunate to be able to have two back to back proms with my best friend and I cannot wait to see what senior prom will be like. I had so much fun and these were definitely two weekends that made the long days in high school all worth it. I am so grateful for all my friends and family and I just don't think I could have asked for a better experience!
I hope you all enjoy the pictures and this post and make sure to follow all my social media accounts for more updates!

Becoming ONE Happy Soul
Hello there! I am SO happy that the weather is warming up and that its almost summer. I am so busy these last few weeks and I am stressed out but its all because I am doing what I love. Blogging has always been something I have been kind of shy about. I would fear people finding out about it and worry that they would think I am weird because I sit in front of a computer and interact with people that I have never met before and I guess maybe that seems weird. But these last few weeks I have realized something so important. WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT THEY THINK. When you see someone doing something that they love. I have been through pretty much every possible road block through these last few years and I think it is because I tried so hard to just fit in and be like everyone else. I struggled with finding friends and now I have the greatest support system behind me. My friends believe in me 100%. And they support me and every decision that I make. Those are the people that you should worry about. You should only surround yourself with people who make you the best form of you.
These past few years I have faced people who have made fun of me for doing what I love and I want to show everyone that I am proud of who I am and I am proud that I have a passion for something that makes me oh so happy. Blogging has given me confidence and friends which is something that I have lacked in for many years and I feel that I have reached the point in my life where I am finally able to say, that I am SO happy. I know that people are going to laugh and make fun of me for this decision but at the end of the day, if I am happy then why does it matter what they think? You are you and that is all you have so why are we always so worried about what that boy who plays sports thinks, or that super popular girl with the long hair. Why do we care?! This idea is much easier said than done but I think you would be surprised. Once you realize that 4 or 5 years down the road the opinions that you care about so much right now will mean nothing, you can live up to your full potential. Do not be afraid to be yourself, do not be afraid of who you are. You hold all the power to your life and you should own that and be nothing be proud of it. You should never let anyone tell you how to be happy.
Keep your heart open to new opportunities and never second guess yourself, everything happens for a reason.
You are all amazing.
XOXO
