Hey everyone,
So, my family fun weekend went absolutely swimmingly. It was so great to see everyone and go on our little adventures.
I'm currently loving this fall weather and the beautiful colors of autumn in Minnesota. Sweaters, ankle boots and pumpkin spice lattes are life. I also recently found out that I got a 92% on my Music Theory midterm! What!? I don't even know how I managed to, but I'm thankful all the same. I've also managed to not procrastinate as badly as when the semester first started, so I'm not as overwhelmed with school which is nice.
Another thing that I've recently started to embrace is being true to myself. It's so easy to say 'just follow your heart', but actually applying it to your life is quite hard. I've realized that as long as I stay positive and keeping looking at the bigger picture and put my life into perspective, I am happy.
For example, working at preschool makes me so happy. There, I'm always positive and polite because I want to be a good role model for the kids. My boss actually told me that she wishes I could work there full time because I'm a good worker and the kids love me. That makes my heart burst with joy. Our family friends also told me similar things after our weekend at Metropolis. I always hang out with the ten year old girl when our families get together, and her mom recently told my mom that if her daughter looks up to anyone it's me. The idea that I can inspire young girls and children is absolutely mind blowing to me. My mom always said that she thinks I'll change the world, and I'm actually starting to believe her.
On a different note, I've been incredibly inspired by things in pop culture recently. For example, I found Little Mix's song 'Salute' the other week, and I'm completely obsessed with it. At the moment I'm very girl power and that song screams feminism. With all of the amazing women in the media, I've realized that its okay to not have a man. I don't need one. I think it's such a societal norm to want to find a boyfriend and settle down. However, right now in my life, I could not be happier being single. I am crazy busy, and I'm still trying to find out who I am. I don't need the pressure and drama associated with dating and guys. I can be single and rule the world. I encourage every young woman reading this to figure out your life before you throw someone else into the mix. If you're not happy alone, what makes you think you'll be happier with someone else? Create your own happiness. Don't rely on anyone but yourself to make your life how you want it. Don't give anyone else that power.
In other pop culture news, Zoella's book "Girl Online on Tour" came out today, as well as Tyler Oakley's book "Binge". Guess who is headed to Target directly after classes to purchase them? You guessed it, me! I'm too pumped to read them. Both Zoella and Tyler have such a global voice and both of them use it to better this world. They are amazing. If you have no idea who I'm talking about, I strongly encourage you to go check them out on YouTube.
Also, since you know I can't make a post without talking about One Direction... Their new single 'Perfect' came out on Friday, and let's just say, it's perfect. Ugh, I really do hate myself for being so obsessed with them, but I mean, hey, what's life without a little passion? Plus, the fact that my best friend is just as obsessed with them makes me feel a little better about myself.
Well, you've probably had enough of this little rant. I really could go on forever. I enjoy writing stream of consciousness and just typing out what ever pops into my head. But, I will end this post here. Thanks again for listening. No one probably reads these, but it makes me feel better about myself if I pretend that someone does. Feel free to leave any comments about my blog or just about your life. I'd love to connect with you guys!
Until Tomorrow,
SimplyMe
