Starting up summer and summer start ups

Ever since the tornado it has been a little difficult to grasp that this semester is over and summer is here! I am back in Tampa for my little brother’s graduation which means I have a week to sit around and be creative. Although this summer will mainly consist of working and 9 (yes I said 9…) hours of classes, I have many other projects that I would like to start up. This list is made up of the following…

1. Watercolors! I want to paint some canvases to decorate my room in my apartment. My apartment has been semi-homey the past year but I feel like it needs a little umph if you know what I mean. 

2. Happy Healthy Summer. Working out is something I try to do everyday. However, I tend to like Chipotle, BBQ, and Mac and Cheese a tad more than the next person. This is why this summer I am making a serious effort to eat healthy and exercise intensely. My 21st birthday is in 6 months! I want to look the best I have looked in a really long time so I am kicking it into gear!

3. Journaling is something I have tried to start a couple of times but have epically failed at continuing. This time is the charm…I can feel it. I have been thinking about many random things recently that I need to be writing down. So here goes something…

4. I love cooking and baking, I always have. There are so many recipes that I see here on Tumblr, blogspot, or in my magazines that I want to save and make. So I want to start a recipe binder where I can keep all of my recipes organized and in one place. Let this deliciousness begin!

5. Starting a piggy bank may sound like a seriously childish thing to do. But you will be surprised how much money you can save when putting all of your spare change and cash into one place that is not easily accessible. I am not exactly sure what I am saving for yet..maybe traveling? new clothing? any other ideas?

6. Volunteering at an autism school/clinic. To be a behavioral therapist for kids with autism is something that has been a goal of mine since I changed my major to Psychology and Human Development. Now I just got to find one…

Well those are just some things I want to start up this summer. I will try and keep y’all updated on how I am doing with these projects. Does anyone else have cool plans for the summer?!

Remember Me?!?

Okay so I know it has been 4 months since I have even touched this blog but hey..today is a Monday and Mondays are for new beginnings right? I am back at home in Tampa now due to all of the destruction and devastation in Tuscaloosa. It really is something I can't describe, Half of the town is gone. I still cannot believe that it actually happened and I am living to see the next week. I am truly blessed to be alive and have all of my belongings. My prayers are with some of my friends and many others in the city of Tuscaloosa that were not so fortunate. God will get us through this hard time and we will rebuild and be stronger than ever. Please Reblog this picture as it has become the symbol reminding us to pray and keep in our thoughts the people and families of those suffering in Tuscaloosa.

In the past 4 months my head has been spinning with ideas for this blog. I think when I started it I was not quite certain on the direction I wanted to take it but now I think I have a grasp on how I would like to expand. My whole life music has been the most influential art form. Now don't get me wrong...this will NOT just be a music blog. Like I have explained before I am quite scatterbrained so you can expect to see some fashion, photography, and other randomness that I thoroughly enjoy. Today is just going to be this post to let everyone know that I am back in business and I hope that everyone hasn't given up on me.
