You Are The Best Thing In My Life
I was told by multiple people that the friends you make in high school don't last long after high school. Over the years your friends will fade. On the other hand those you make in college will be with you for a lifetime. I sure hope that isn't 100 percent true. I love my friends in college, but I also love my friends from high school. I do not want to lose my friends from high school. Shoot, all of them helped me to shape who I am today. They all helped me become the lady I am turning out to be. They taught me to love, laugh and live. I cannot picture myself without having the friends I did in high school.
My friends in college have pushed me to better myself as a human being. I learn to be truthful and honest with myself and others even if it means that others are going to be hurt in the process. It sucks and maybe I shouldn't be that way, but wouldn't you rather know that someone was completely honest with you rather than lying to you? I would take the truth. They have taught me that I am my own way to happiness. I should rely on no one else to be happy. If sitting in my room for days on end (it does not happen) make me happy then I should do it. I should not be sorry for anything that I do that makes me happy. If I want to be the only one laughing at a joke then so be it. I will do so.
Ultimately, in the end, my friends taught me to be me.
Just Thought You Should Know
In exactly three weeks I go back to Ferris State University to start my third year of college! :) I am so happy where I go to school and where I am in my life right now. Advertising/ Integrated Marketing Communications is such an awesome degree and I cannot wait until I start my internship (hopefully) next summer!
I have been an Independent Consultant for Thirty-One for ALMOST two months now. I have done one party and I am already loving it and wishing that I had joined sooner. I have stressed out about a few things that I do not need to stress about.
I am learning a lot about myself this summer. What I like, what I don't like. I am learning to let go of things that people say to me and last but not least I am learning to speak my mind even if the feelings of others get hurt. We spend too much time worrying about what others think and no enough time expressing our feelings.
Last but not least a few things that I am still in love with.
A day for me.
Recently I went to Marquette for the day. It was wonderful going out by myself and having a day for just for me. I went shopping, something I haven't done in a long time.
Pictures of the ride there and back.

Then out of the blue on my way back it turned really foggy.
Do you ever have a day where you just do everything for you?
It all happened on a Thursday
A few things have happened lately.
Last Thursday I signed up to be an Independent Thirty~One Consultant. Happy one week anniversary to me! Haha! I just got my enrollment kit the other day and I cannot wait to start having parties!
Today I went out and dusted of my camera and took some picture while I listen to some music from years go. Let me tell you after having years go by since the last time I listen to those song I still know every word in them.
Some of the songs were:
Drinkin' Bone - Tracy Byrd
My Humps - The Black Eyed Peas
Honky Tonk Badankadonk - Trace Adkins
Listen To Your Heart - DHT
Switch - Will Smith
Blog/Life/Photo Update
Questions about my blog and a few pictures as well.
Where does your blog name come from?
Well I am into photography and cameras have lenses. That's a known fact, but I also choose that name because I wear glasses. I bet you didn't know that tid bit. :)
What inspired to do your blog layout that way?
Well I've said it once and I will say it over and over again because I love the work she did. Bree at The Thing About Joy designed my blog. Yes I have changed a few things here and there, but I have kept it the same for the most part. Please go and visit her! :)
What made you want to start a blog?
No one reason made me start a blog. I wanted a place where I could share a few of my favorite pictures and I wanted a place to share stories about my life. Not many people know what it is like going to college and that's the main reason why I started this blog, but as I continued to blog I never really share stories about going to college.
One interesting fact about you.
I like to take horizontal life pauses. :)
A little update on what I am doing. Working, obviously. Trying to make this summer a summer to remember, but I get stressed out way to easily. I have been working on that. Making friendships that hopefully will last a while. I am starting to read more books. I am three days from being done with the 30 day squat challenge! If you have never heard of that look it up! I will tell you, you will notice a difference in your leg strength almost instantly. Other than all of that I am enjoying life!
Hope you all are having a great start to you week!
Father's Day is this month, take a listen to this song! :)

College Collage.
I know I have fallen behind on the May Blog Challenge and I hope to get caught up tomorrow. I just got back from Ferris today. Yay for 9 hour drives! I already miss every one, but I am glad to be home with my family.
I just wanted to share with you all a little snapshot of what my year was like. This is no way my whole year because I did a lot this year, but just some things. I hope to make a bigger collage, or maybe a scrapbook soon.
I will be writing a post soon about my whole year this year, stay posted! :)
Busy Weekend
This weekend was a crazy busy weekend for me.
On Friday night and Saturday morning I did some volunteer work for my organization, Entertainment Unlimited (EU). This weekend at Ferris was Ferris Fest which is a free outdoor concert that EU puts on every year. Sorry I do not have any pictures to put up here I didn't have anytime to take any.
Then this afternoon my sister Jen graduated from Davenport University! She is the first on in my family to graduate. I am so proud of her, she has been through a lot and she made it through it all and graduate college! :)
The graduation was long, but it didn't take as long as I thought it would. The name calling/listing was the thing what took the longest. Other than that the speakers and everything else was short and sweet.
We sat next to a giant screen so yes, this is a picture of a picture.
All of the graduates.
After my sister's graduation I drove back to school to go to the FYE/SLED banquet (First Year Experience Sophomore Leadership Experience & Development). It was just a short banquet, but it was a thank you from the RA's to the residences. Here are a few pictures from that.
Kayla and I
Who ever took this picture got my dimple in it. I also like this picture a lot.
My Mama Jo Jo, Jeremy and Brooke (L to R)

This is a nice picture of my friend Haley.
Jeni darling.
Zach
Kayla and Sara.
Just like last year I have met so many amazing people and some of them I have only gotten to know in the past few weeks. Which is okay, I love getting to know people. It some how amazes me that we, everyone I meet here, choose Ferris for a school and we all ended up together. Almost like we were supposed to meet.
Anyways, at this banquet we received awards if we completed the FYE/SLED requirements. Since I am in SLED my requirements were: Goal Chat, Mentorship RSO Leadership, RSO Involvement SLED Programs (2), Resume, Community Service (10 hours). I do not know what the FYE requirements were, but I completed that last year.
I am starting my last week of classes this week. I cannot wait to be done for the summer. School has just been dragging on and on. As well as dragging me down and down. I have had multiple sleepless nights and stressful days. I ending up having to have three exams during exam week. I will have one on Monday at 8 am and two on Wednesday back to back starting at noon. This means I will not be able to leave Ferris until Thursday morning because of my long drive home I have to make sure I am not driving during the late hours. I am driving home by myself and I do not want to fall asleep.
That's whats new with me.
Have a good night everyone and I hope you all have a great start to your week. Good news I don't have class until 11 am tomorrow so I get to sleep in! :)
