Michigan Bound!!
 |
| Tumblr Source: dailyglamorous |
So I know I originally stated that I was going to continue to post while in Michigan this week. Unfortunately I was unable to fulfill that statement throughout the week. I hope you enjoyed this week's content, and next week, starting Tuesday everything should go back to normal. Don't worry though, I will still post a little note tomorrow and Monday with my Picture Pic of the Day. So technically posts still are going up every weekday.
I hope to post about my experiences in Michigan when I get back. Hopefully they will all be positive.
Snaps!

How to: Faux Calligraphy!
Greetings!
A year ago I learned faux calligraphy, and ever since I have been using it frequently to dress notes and envelopes up. The basic techniques are very simple and easy to learn, and it only takes a little bit longer than cursive to execute. It really can add that little something to your writing, that makes it look so much better.
Here's my guide to faux calligraphy.
I have re-written it below for your convenience.
Step One: Write in cursive
Step Two: Trace the down strokes
Step Three: Fill in any "missed" areas
Voila! Faux calligraphy
Have fun using faux calligraphy!
Snaps!

Advice for Going into High School: Freshman
 |
| Tumblr Source: agentlewoman |
So today I wanted to try something different and write an advice column of sorts, so here it is.
A incoming Freshman's Guide to High School:
Prep before the first day:
Get your schedule if possible. Go online and find a map of the school, map out your day. This will make you feel more prepared and less worried of getting lost. Contact friends and plan to meet at free periods.
First Day:
Do not be nervous, it's not as hard as you think.
Don't be afraid to ask for directions of you get lost, most likely the person will be very understanding, they were once in your exact same situation.
Don't be worried if you are late to a class, teachers are very understanding the first week, everyone is trying to navigate the school and their new schedules.
First Semester:
Join lots of clubs and look into extracurricular. Most people recruit at the beginning of the school year, and sometimes close their doors second semester.
You will have the most time freshman year, so do anything you need to do now. For example, health is only required for one semester in my school district, and you can fulfill it by taking a seven week take-home packet class. Take stuff like that first semester freshman year!
Also it's never to early to start prepping for the SAT and ACT. You'll thank me later if you do.
Also this is a wonderful time to start drivers Ed and work on your license.
The First Year in general:
Do your homework, and begin to develop good study habits.
Get as much sleep as you can and savour it.
Do not go in with the mindset that freshman year doesn't matter, because it does. It sets you up for your other three years. Some colleges even look at freshman year grades. Two of my friends cannot apply to those schools because they messed up freshman year.
Most importantly remember that you only have one high school experience, so make it a good one.
Go to homecoming and the dance, be involved, have a little bit of fun. And most importantly do what makes you happy, and what's gonna make you happy.
Are the "popular" kids going to help you get into college?
Is not doing your homework going to result in a good experience with your parents?
This is your life and your future, don't give up to peer pressure, use common sense and do what's right.
Snaps!

Talking Thursday!
 |
| Tumblr Source: ksulave |
Today I wanted to try something different and just write about whatever, in no particular order of sorts. I am currently in a good mood, because I finished the first part of my Physics homework, and i have finished both math and government. I have yet to start on english and I will very soon. I want to bedazzle my dress today, because the competition is next week(figure skating competition). I have never bedazzled my dress before, so this shall be interesting. I am sort of having a writer's block, because I feel overwhelmed with all the content I need to create before I leave, in order to keep posts going up every weekday.
I really want to add a drop-down menu on my blog, so I have been looking into it and it is definitely harder than I thought it was. I think I will attempt to put one in as soon as I have enough time to really dedicate to getting one up.
Update 7/23/15: I have added what I thought was a dropdown menu, after doing a little research I realized that it was actually quite simple.
My Tumblr is getting better, I think. I have realized that I really like flowers.
I have to start doing college applications very soon, and it sort of scares me to think that I might be going off to college in just a year. I might do a college applications and prep series, once deadlines start coming. I could like document my whole journey, and it might be fun to look back on later. I was also considering doing a back-to-school/high school tips series. All are just currently ideas, and none of them have been produced.
Academic decathlon is starting to really freak me out. It is definitely one of those things that are easier said than done. I think taking baby steps, would be the best way to go.
I really want to make this blog successful, and better. I will learn by my mistakes, and time will tell it's tale. I want to provide the best content, that is easy to read and interesting. I also want to make my blog more visually appealing. So many possibilities for the future!
Snaps!
