Overwhelmed, Thanks COVID-19

 I'm going to take a week to talk about something outside of the wedding planning. I want to talk about this semester and how draining it has been. 

Coming into this semester I didn't think it would be much different than any other semester besides started early and ending early. Boy was I wrong. This semester has the worst semester I've had so far. It has been so mentally and physically draining. One assignment or exam after another and no breaks to take a day to breathe. 

Although the semester is almost over, it still feels like the end is too far away. Our Christmas break is nearly two months this year and it is greatly needed. I will need this break to regroup and work to make some money for spring semester. 

ONU just recently decided to cancel our spring break next semester and give us three days off throughout the semester. These three days won’t be enough I can assure that, but it will help a little bit compared to this semester. I wish COVID-19 was never a thing so my senior year could be somewhat normal, but I guess I will have to make do with what I have. 

I can say, this past weekend my fiance, roommates and I went to a haunted house, bought pumpkins and carved the pumpkins. This was a much-needed weekend to help me enjoy my time here in Ada and I can't wait until the two months of break when I get to relax and have fun.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
