Oh how things change...


Here lately I have been really thinking about how fast my college or even high school for that matter has gone! It seems like it has all passed by so fast! Sometimes I think about things I could have or should have done diffrent, but then I have to remind myself that I did those thing because thats what I wanted to do at the time! I just really miss those days when you are sitting at the table with your 3 best friends playing mexican train dominos and making dinner. We had such great times but I am haveing to realize that just because that time has come and gone doesnt mean that good times and memories arent ahead! I have learned to live everyday like it was your last and always do the things that make you happy and things that interest you and you will remain happy =) This is a piture of all of us girls that lived at Whitham street! What great memories! Love you girls

Strut for a Mutt


About a month ago I was a volunteer/helper at Strut for a Mutt fashion show. This is a fashion show that benifits the local animal shelters. The dogs are walked on the runway by models wearing clothing from Lola boutiqe. I helped back stage with the models and the clothing. I also ended up with a dog who walked me all around the parking lot. It was kind of ironic because that particular dog would not go on the runway when it was time but yet she had no problem dragging me around the parking lot! haha It was a great event and a great experience. I love volunteering especially if it has to do with fashion, something I am very interested in! Samantha Ronson was the DJ for the event and all in all it was an amazing event! If you have never been you should check it out next year!

Whoooo Pig Sooie!




Ahhh Razorback football! The best time of the year! This weekend is a BIG game for us! Football is something I have loved since I was little. I should have been a boy! My roomie used to make fun of my because I would sit in my room with my Cowboys shirt or my Chargers shirt and yell at the T.V. haha So anyways everyone should watch the game today and hope we pull out a win!!




Second on my list after football...finding an internship! Im so excited to more on and do something really cool! Ive applied at TOMS shoes which would be my DREAM internship so everyone pray I get it!! I know that I will find something to fit me even if it takes awhile! I would love one in Cali..I have lots of family out there and im familiar with the area and no matter what I will probably live there one day! So everyone pray I find a fitting internship! Have a good day!!

I've never met a stranger

So yesterday I was at Wal-mart, and as I was leaving I passed a van that was parked under a shade tree near the exit. There was a sign leaned up against the side of the van that read "ran out of gas needing to get home". Inside the van I noticed a child in a car seat surrounded by suitcases. Ths broke my heart, but as I drove away I thought about the sad fact that all that could have been just a ploy to get money from people. I once filled up a mans gas tank at walmart because he and his little girl couldnt make it home. After I felt really good until my mom snapped me back into the real world with her speech on not being so nice to strangers. I felt bad yesterday for not stopping and helping the family but I spent to much time trying to decide if it was fake or not and ended up getting honked at! haha I have had this thing all my life that I have never met a stranger. My parents have always told me that. I can talk to anyone, anywhere. Somethimes though this is a bad thing or can lead to things like being over generous when someone is taking advantage of you! I guess I have learned this, you have to be kind and generous but within reason! Hope everyone has a good day! =)

Volunteering

Goodmorning!

For a few weeks now I have been having this want i guess you could call it to volunteer! I really would like to teach a dance class at the boys and girls club or something like that! I have danced since I was about 2 and I love it, but here lately I have not had a lot of time do dance so I thought that would be a great way to do what I love and volunteer with children. I also want to do some other kinds of volunteering so thats what I am doing today! I am on the hunt for volunteer jobs! I am offically done with summer school classes but I still have an online class but those are easy! Its nice to have a break but this break gives me more down time and so Id like to fill that time with volunteerism! :)

SO since I last wrote on here alot has changed and happend! Last week and weeked was CRAZY! First it was my 22nd birthday! Yay..cant believe I am getting old haha Fory my birthday I had all my best freinds there and we went and had a spa day and then painted pottery! I also got the best and sweetest present from my then boyfirend, he got me ateacup yorkie! He was and is the sweetest thing! I named him Murphy! This same weekend also happen to be Fathers Day and one of my childhood best friends wedding! I was a bridesmaid and I had the best time! It was a beautiful wedding but oh so hot! I had some crazy dress drama..I guess from the heat or something my dress wouldnt fit at night but it would fit in the morning! It was the weirdest thing! So needless to say the DAY of the wedding. ripped out a few seams, re-sewed the sides and it fit! :) The rehersal dinner for the wedding was on Thursday, along with 3 tests I had that week for my summer classes, my two jobs, my dress not fitting, the actual wedding, my birhday, and fathers day! Wow what a crazy but great week! Then sad to say things went down hill a little and something really heartbreaking happened but this is what I am learning... you are who you are for a reason and you can only be that person...God made you the way he wants you and there is someone out there who wants you to be there everything...God will take care of you, he will help mend your pain, and he will complete your world so Just for today...lay it all in God's hands and he will help you take care of whatever it is! So as for me I will be keeping myself very busy because thats the way I like it to be because if you have down time you only dwell on those things that are heavy in your heart so no time for dwelling :)

Good morning! So toady I discovered that I had a blog from a class I did! I read it and I had said that I would keep up with it hopefully! Well we see how well I did at that huh? So this time I really will try hard to keep it up!

So this morning like every other morning this summer I got up at 7 to make it to my 7:30 summer class..what an obnoxious time to have to go to school right!? The class is a marketing class and it is actually a fun class and I have a super cool teacher I just do not function that early. My mom has been saying to me "welcome to the real world Kelsey" which brings up another good point..The real world, which I will be entering next December. So here is my concern...am I going to be able to find a job??? My major is Apparel Studies...which is basically fashion...which will all know has taken the biggest hit in the economy! I should graduate in December and then I will be required to take an internship (Which I am hoping to receive one from Toms shoes..after I apply of course but that is like my dream job/internship) and then after that I will be expected to take a job. I live and go to school in Fayetteville Arkansas and there just is not much oppurtunity here for that kind of major but the other half to that is I am happy here, I like fayetteville, I wouldnt mind living here forever. Then there is that inner "fly by the seat of my pants girl" as my mom calls me who wants to travel all over, find a diffrent place to live, be spontanious, all that jazz, but I have so many great things and ties here! BLAH! SO my point is today I am worrying alot about my future and where I am going to end up! Ultimatly I want to have a job that I want to go to every day, enjoy to the fullest, fits my personality, and is cool! So now that I had spent my hole 7:30 class period in lahlah land about my futre I have no idea what I was suppose to learn today in Marketing, but what I do know is I complain and whiney cat cry around about going to class and work everday and thats stupid so.....Just for today be thankful that there is the oppurtunity for education and job out there because some people in this world during this time or ever even do not have this oppurtunity so instead of complaining embrace the fact you have the chance! :) Hope everyone has a good day!
