Oh. My. Goodness. It's the last day of the challenge! Today's question prompts me to write about anything that I want to write about, so I thought it'd be the perfect post to reflect on how this 30 Days of Blogging challenge has been for me.                First off, I just want to check in with you guys. How are you doing? I'm feeling great! The  past 30 days have been a little crazy for me, blog wise. Being at home on Christmas Break made...

               Setting goals is something that I'm very fond of. There's nothing more satisfying than setting goals and after a lot of hard work, finally reaching those goals. However, the important thing about setting goals is making sure that those goals are realistic and achievable. With that being said, here are my goals for the next 30 days: Blog Goals Finish scheduling posts for the next couple of months. Start a Facebook Fan Page for this blog (maybe; I'm still not sure on this one). Personal Goals Say "yes" to more events...

               Today's question asks me to talk about what things I wish for at 11:11. To be honest, I don't really make wishes at 11:11. Also, is it 11:11 AM or PM? That's probably a stupid question, but I honestly don't know the answer. However, I can tell you what I would wish for... world peace! Just kidding. I mean, yes, I do want world peace. Who doesn't? But I wouldn't wish for something so typical. I'd make it personal. I would wish for faith and confidence to keep going hard at...

                           I'll admit that I'm not really sure why today's question asks for a picture of my handwriting, but here it is. I'm a lefty and anyone who writes with their left hand will tell you that at times, it sucks! You get pencil/pen markings all over your pinky finger and it's just a mess. But overall, I think my handwriting is pretty legible and I guess that's all that matters. As a person who would rather type her notes than write them by hand, I'm...

               I love those "warm & fuzzy" feelings you get when you're around the people you care about. I live for those moments and here are some things that make me feel that way: Genuine Smiles & Conversation - I love when people ask me how my day is going and they actually want to know the answer. More importantly, I love when I'm around people who I feel comfortable enough with to give an honest answer to.  Hugs & Kisses - I know it's kind of mushy and a little cliche,...

                             Today's question asks me a very interesting question that may be hard for some people to answer, but I found it quite easy: Would you rather date a plain person with an amazing personality or someone beautiful with a plain personality?                If by definition, the word "plain" means someone who might not be so easy on the eyes, but they have an amazing sense of humor and I can have a good time with that person, then...

               I am so random, it actually scares me sometimes. There are a lot of thoughts that run through my mind and I have to ask myself how that thought even occurred to me. But out of all of the crazy thoughts that I have, here are the things I think about the most: What I'm going to eat during the day - Food is on my mind basically all day every day... like right now... Songs that I've heard that I want to download Starting a YouTube channel - I'm pretty...

               Today's question for the 30 Days of Blogging Challenge asks me how I've changed over the past two years and honestly, I have no idea where to begin. Two years ago, I was in my Spring semester of my first year of college. I was unsure of basically everything going on in life and my grades were not that great. They were quite horrible, to be honest. To put it briefly, I wasn't doing too well, but here are some things that have changed since that point in my life.  Going...

               Today is Thursday, which means that it's a pretty short day for me because I only have two classes to go to. I have an Intro to Music class and then I have a Voice class and that's it! Then I get to relax and enjoy the day! Most of the classes within my major are very physical, meaning that I'm most likely going to be sweating a lot and I have to dress accordingly. This usually means no skirts, no heels, and definitely no skinny jeans, which are all things...

               Well, this is interesting. I don't take too much time to think about the answer to this question, so this is going to be fun, so let's get started! TURN ONS: Sense of humor - This is definitely one of the most important things I look for in someone. I love to laugh and one of my goals for 2015 is to find ways to laugh more. If I can spend time with someone and they can make me laugh (which isn't hard), I find that person so much more attractive...

               Oh my God, yes! I think education is super important! I know that everyone may not agree with this, but I can say that as a current college student, my education has been incredibly worth it so far. I wouldn't be in college with an increasing about of student loans if I didn't think education was important. But even without a college degree, I think it's important to try to increase your knowledge of things that you're passionate about, despite whether or not you're pursuing a degree in those things. Never...

               It's no secret that I love traveling and I have a list of places that I'd love to go. Ironically, I haven't actually been that far. All of the places I've lived in my life have all been in the great ol' state of Illinois.                I was born in Chicago, Illinois, but I moved to the Quad Cities when I was about three years old. The Quad Cities (QC) is basically an area made up of four major counties consisting of about 5 cities...

               Oh. My. God. Where do I begin? My TV obsessions are always changing because I can never finish an entire series before I become obsessed with another one. But I'm going to go with The Office because I spent most of my Christmas Break (and about a month before that) binge watching it on Netflix and it has changed my life. It's definitely given me unrealistic expectations on what working in  an office is like.               As I've mentioned in previous blog posts, on multiple...

               I know that it's getting a little late for a 2014 recap, seeing as how pretty much every other blogger has done that already, but this is today's question, so I'm sticking to it. This past year has definitely been interesting, to say the least, but it's had its share of ups and downs. HIGHS I auditioned and was accepted into the Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting program at my university.  As of last semester, my GPA reached its highest point, which was awesome!  I starred in multiple performances at my...

               I chose this question for today specifically because I remember having a conversation with a friend of mine about mainstream music, which he tries to stray away from. He doesn't personally have anything against mainstream music, but he thinks that it all sounds the same and that mainstream artists are losing more and more of their originality. I, on the other hand, disagree. I love all music; I don't care if it's underground music or mainstream music.                I believe in being unique and creative...

               It's no secret that I am addicted to Tumblr. If an entire day has gone by and nothing productive has been done, it's probably because I was on Tumblr. With that being said, these are my favorite Tumblr pages! Tyler Oakley Did you really expect me NOT to say Tyler Oakley? As you guys probably know by now, he is my queen! His Tumble is beautifully hilarious. I reblog pretty much everything from him. Charlie-Is-My-Constant This is my friend, Haley's Tumblr page and it's brilliant! She loves all things Lost and...

               I was a rather mischievous child who had a lot of time on her hands. One day, I had a little bit too much time on my hands because it was a snow day. I was about 8 years old and I had just discovered how much fun it was to go sledding outside and I thought that it'd be cool if I could find a way to slide around indoors, too. Without thinking, I grabbed some non-stick cooking spray out of the only cabinet that I could reach and sprayed...

               Oh. Crap. Today's post prompts me to tell you guys three things that I should probably keep to myself. But because this is a challenge, after all, so let's get started. I sleep with 3 stuffed Disney animals every night. I can't help it; they're so cute and they're incredibly comfortable. My friend worked at Disney World a couple of summers ago and got them for me and I will forever appreciate him for that.  I've never seen Star Wars of Star Trek. This may not seem like a big deal,...

               I love quotes. Like a lot of people on Pinterest, I have an entire board dedicated to them. Because of this reason, it's nearly impossible to pick one favorite quote, but there is definitely one that sticks out to me more than others. "It's kind of fun to do the impossible" - Walt Disney                I'm definitely a Disney girl. I was practically raised on Disney movies alone, so this quote has a very special place in my heart. More importantly, this quote will forever...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! I am so jazzed about today's post because it's all about the randomness of the beauty that is music! The specific directions for today's post were as follows: Put your iPod/phone on shuffle. Write down the first 10 songs that play.                I'd like to think that my music taste is pretty diverse, One minute I'll be turning up to Iggy Azalea's album and the next minute I'll be belting out the chorus of Wicked's "Defying Gravity". Needless to say,...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! Today's question has to deal with food, so I'm all for it! I love food, but if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it'd be mac & cheese! Seriously, it doesn't matter what brand of mac & cheese it is, I'll eat it. A lot of people have a sweet tooth and tend to eat too many cookies or pieces of cake, but I love the starchy carbs... which are just as bad, actually. Anyone who has ever met me...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! I'm excited about today's post because it allows me to do something that we all inevitably do, even though it's not really a good thing to do this all the time: complain! I can tolerate a lot, I'd like to think, though some would disagree with me. I'll admit that I'm not the most patient person ever and I may forget to turn on my filter every once in a while, but for the most part, I can tolerate a lot. But I've got pet peeves...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! This question is REALLY hard to answer, mostly because I feel as if I'm never fully satisfied. I'm not saying that I'm ungrateful or that I don't appreciate my life, but I feel as if I'm always working towards bettering my life so that I can get to the point of satisfaction.                I remember the summer before my first year of college and I was so happy. I had just graduated high school and I got to spend the...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! I've come to the realization that I've only been doing this challenge for 7 days and it really is starting to feel like a challenge, indeed, but it's okay. I'm still not used to blogging every day, but I know I'll get there. As you can tell by the title of this post, I'll be talking about my favorite books today. I actually wasn't a huge fan of reading when I was a kid; I just used to read because in middle school and in high...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! I had to think really long and hard about the answer to this question. I could ramble on and on about how much I love Beyonce or Maroon 5 or  Panic At The Disco and what not, but the question asked what band I think is important (which they all are), but one band sticks out to me.                I love group, Pentatonix! They are my life! They're a five person a capella group (and I have so much respect...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! As you can tell by the title of this post, I'm going to be talking about the places that I'd like to go, which is something I hadn't put much thought into before. I never used to want to travel when I was a kid; I was very lazy and content being exactly where I was. I used to just want to make enough money to move into the nicer houses down the street from where I lived. But since I started doing a little bit...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! So far, I am LOVING this 30 Days of Blogging Challenge; it's been, uh, challenging. So let's begin! What's the meaning behind your Tumblr name?                So this may be a little anticlimactic, you guys, because unfortunately, I don't have one of those cool, unique Tumblr names. My Tumblr name is just my name, which I guess is kinda, sorta, maybe unique. I've had so many Tumblr names because I've had many different Tumblr pages and I named each of...

Well, hello there, beautiful people! Today's question asks about something that I'm pretty sure none of us think enough about. So let's get to it! Explain your day in great detail. (This is why today's post went up so late.) Today, I woke up around 9 AM to the realization that I hadn't paid my phone bill yet. So there's that... I stayed in my bed for an additional two hours (as I normally do on weekends) watching YouTube videos and laughing hysterically because Tyler Oakley is hilarious. I normally have choir practice at my church on Saturday...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! Today's question is one that we've all been asked since high school and I think it's time I seriously think about the answer to it. Where would you like to be in 10 years?                In 10 years, I'll be 31 years old, so it's kind of hard to think of every little thing that I'd like to be doing with my life by then. Honestly, I just want to be happy. I know that's such a cliche thing to...

               Well, hello there, beautiful people! If you read Monday's post, you'll remember me talking about how I wanted to kick off the new year on this blog by doing the 30 Days of Blogging Challenge. By doing this, I plan on 1) finding ways to get better at blogging and 2) sharing more of my life with you guys. I'm really excited about this year so I wanted to start it off by doing what I love, which is blogging! For those of you who don't know what the 30 Days...
