It comes to an end
This semester we were asked to create this blog and I'm not going to lie, but at first I hated the idea. I am not a writer at all. I like to write when I have a specific topic, but when I'm asked to just free-lance write I am lost. However, as I was doing the blogs weekly, I began to really enjoy writing them. I thought it was fun to just write and vent and discuss. I would become a critic and comedian all in one day. My topics were general, but interesting to me. I guess I did have fun with this project and I hope that anyone that read my blogs would agree with me. =)
Close your eyes and make a wish!
Today it's a beautiful day out and whenever it's really nice out I like to think more. Now I know what your thinking, shouldn't I be doing that all the time, and your right! However, I mean my mind starts to wonder about different stuff in a sense. Today I couldn't help but think about my past and how it changed me in a sense. I couldn't help but just think about how ironic things could actually become.
All I kept thinking about is how I wish that I could be naive, and believe in fairytales and love like I use to. I remember when I was little I would watch Disney movies and fairytales and think that it could actually happen. It's sad to say that things like that are only make believe. It's so funny actually, because a big secret of mine is that my favorite movie of all time is the 10th Kingdom; most people have probably never even heard of it. This movie was made of tv movie that I just fell in love with. The movie is basically a love story and how a girl from New York City travels to the 9 kingdoms, where she meets all the fairytales and at the end falls for the man who thought he wasn't good enough for her. Ugh!! it is the pinacle of girly and cute and for anyone who really knows me, they know that is not me at all. It's sad to say that I think I use to be like that, I use to believe in all that stuff and I just don't know what happened to me. All I know is that my mind always wants me to be cynical and put down that love and romance side, because everyone I always tried to trust, would let me down, but in my heart I will always be the little princess waiting for her fairytale. I close my eyes and always make the wish at 11:11.

My first year of college
So I came to the realization that my first year of college is over. Today as I sat down stdying before a final, I was thinking about how I only have to take 3 more finals and then its summer, but as I started to really think about it, I remembered that not only will summer be starting, but my first year of college will be done. Then I started to really think, WOW! Right now many things such as prom and graduation are happening and I remembered that it was me one year ago doing that stuff. I can't believe how much time really flies.
When I started to really think, so much has really happened to me this year. I started college, started working at my first job, made a whole new set of friends, joined a sorority, and got through a lot of my credits toward graduation. I remembered all the crushes, and parties and I remembered what it was like to have to start all over again; being the little guy (freshman) again. So far this year was great. It's kind of sad that one year has passed already, but in truth I wouldn't take back one moment and I'm so excited to see what summer and the next three years of my college career will bring.

Music
I love music and I love how when you listen to different types of music, it can really change your mood. I heard once that "A girl's favorite song can tell a lot about how she is feeling, and that the lyrics of a song is the words she can never say". When people listen to music their emotions can take over. When you really hear the lyrics you get ingrossed in that sound.
I know that when I have the radio pumping in my car, it can make me happier, I also know which artist and which cd to put on for every mood that I am in. I have the rap music like Eminem and Kayne West when I’m in that “I don’t care mood”. I have the Pink and Avril Lavigne music for when I’m into that girls rule kind of mood and I also have the Simple Plan, Good Charlotte music to rock out to.
Music is a big part of everyone’s life and it is something many artists today have taken advantage of because what they sing about really has nothing positive to say. It’s sad to say that now rappers sing about women in derogatory manners and many little kids are following in their ways. The days of mixing good beats with lyrics that makes sense and actually has something to say are diminishing, which is really sad, because I know that everyone has those songs that will always hold a place in your heart for some kind of reason. To me, "Stronger" by Kayne West will always put a smile on my face for the memories it holds behind it.

Passion
Passion is a word with so many definitions. Lately the idea of passion has come up a lot. When we read “The Curve of Binding Energy” I felt that Ted Taylor’s accomplishments were the perfect examples of passion. He held crazy ideas such as Project Orion and wouldn’t give up, he had a passion for science and that’s why he could succeed in a lot more.
The idea of passion is so invigorating even the word alone screams intensity. I believe so much in passion. Passion could be found in sports, life, love, or even your job. I feel that if you have passion for something, you won’t give up on it. Passion doesn’t leave you, it grows with you and I believe that having this intensity in something will let you grow more.

Dare to be Different
Today like all Sundays I went to church, and I was sitting in my seat and at Communion I noticed a little girl that got up to receive. She had to be about 11 years old and I noticed what she was wearing. No, I wasn’t judging what a little girl had on, but I thought it was the best thing I ever saw. She had on these big white sunglasses, mismatched clothes, a huge sparkly bag and little heels and she looked like she owned the walkway. She looked like she had no care in the world and could have sold what she was wearing to a designer.
I sat there and I looked at her and just smiled. Now that I’m a “grown-up” people judge so much on what other people wear, that no one would even try to pull that off. I remembered the days when I was little and use to do the same thing as that little girl and I thought I was so cool. Sometimes I miss those days, when the biggest care in the world wasn’t about what to wear or who to be fake to next, you just did your own thing and if people didn’t like it, you didn’t care.
