Living Life Under 5 Foot

I recently entered a scholarship essay for what you would say to your past self.  This is my entry, feel free to give feedback.  Shay, There is so much I want to tell you, but somehow I feel like that will take the much needed mystery out of life. All I can offer is vague statements that cover basic topics you will deal with  throughout your life. Shay, life is so valuable, and soon you will understand the meaning of a moment, therefore spend your time with those people and things who actually matter, don't waste it on frivolous things.  Go easy on the teenage years. I promise it's a tough enough time for everyone, maybe try to make it easier on those who are in your life. Find something that you are passionate about, and spend the time needed to become amazing at it. Talents are more important than you could ever imagine. You can make it through everything that is going to come your way, if you stand true to your smile, and keep smiling, you will conquer...

This week has been full of it all for me!  - A date or two -Bought a waffle maker -Cleaned my room -Worked -FINALLY BOUGHT A CAMERA!! School is going great, have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE English! Getting back into the grove of professional writing has been a little difficult for me, but it's coming along. My first assignment is a profile essay. I was thinking one night, " What can I do this on it?" I sat, wearing my vintage 1950's pants.. when it dawned on me.... "I should do it on the 1950's!!!!!" and thus it has begun. I've been calling, everyone I know, and even meeting new people who were alive in those times. This essay is coming, and will be posted when I'm finished!  I want this!
