I Did It!

Guess what blogging friends?! You know that college interview I had last week, you can read all about it on here  if you don't haha, well anyways. . . . I got in the Honors Program! I'm so excited! But I'm most excited about SCHOLARSHIPS! I got two letters in the mail today with scholarship offers in them, totaling $9500. I'm so excited! It's not good to put all your eggs in one basket but since I couldn't get a job and handle school at the same time I just hoped for scholarships. My dad was right, there's no way I would have been able to make that kind of money flipping burgers.

This is truly a blessing and I'm so grateful for it. I got an answer to my prayers about where I was supposed to go back in Septemberish but then everything that could go wrong seemed to go wrong. My forms didn't upload so I was classified as a non resident, I lost my acceptance letter with my student id, and now that id isn't working so I can't tell them I'm officially coming, because of this my housing isn't going through, and so on. I was starting to doubt if I'd actually gotten an answer or it was just where I wanted to go. It didn't help that EVERYONE else was trying to talk me out of it and go somewhere else (cough cough Utah)

 But there was this one day I was driving home from church with my dad in the car and talking to him and then I just, ahhh it's hard to describe, I got tinglies all over my body and a huge smile on my face and I knew that was where I was supposed to go. That's when I started getting scholarship offers from other colleges. But I knew there was a reason I was going to UCD and I just waited patiently. And now this scholarship that I couldn't have gotten at any of the other schools. I know there's other reasons I'm supposed to go to UCD. I can't wait to find them all out.

Not going to lie, I'm still a little terrified to live downtown. I just got the hang of my city. I'm sure it will be an adventure, which will all be blog worthy.

So there you go world. I'm going to be a UCD ________ (insert future mascot name here. They're working on it still ;)

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...
