Jump then Fall

I wish I could go back.

 It might be because I lost something. It might be because you didn't say it . It might be because I didn't say it.  I guess we both didn't say how we felt. 

We were gonna try and fix it, but I guess you didn't care all that much. Now we might  never go back to the way we were. It was fun while it lasted but it was cut short. Maybe it was that other persons fault. They seamed all too happy with how the situation ended. But I didn't want that. I will not in the future either. But you were right in the end. Feel free to tell me I told you so, because you did, and I didn't listen.

.................................................................................................................................................................

Always Remember: 
You can't go back, even if you try. What ever you do, speak your mind because if you don't you will never know. I wish I could go back but I think it's a little too late. 
Jump then Fall, and hope you land softly.

Be Who You Are

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.-Dr. Seuss 


Music Wednesday

Artist: Imagine Dragons
Song: Amsterdam
Album: Night Visions


This is the featured single of the week. I really like the intro to this song because it isn't like any of the music I typically listen to. They have a similar sound to Hurts which is another band I like. They have very good voices. I highly suggest downloading this song for FREE on iTunes for this week only!

Things to be Thankful for...


Today in school, I began to realize how lucky I am. I am blessed to have such good friends and family. I can do whatever I want with my future. Some people aren't as lucky as my friends and I. I'm very grateful for what I have and I never want to forget that. 
I'm lucky enough to have 2 parents that work. When I need something for school we can just go to the PX and purchase it. When my jeans don't fit I get new ones. When my shoes have a hole or are worn out, we buy new ones. Some people aren't as fortunate. 

I'm very thankful for everything I have been blessed with! Thank you to all of my friends for being in my life!

What you are thankful for in your life?

Quote~ Napoleon Hill

“What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill



 This summer at the Naval Academy Swim Camp they really stressed this quote. If you haven't already take a few moments to think about this quote and how it applies to you. 

This quote means alot to me. If you continuously tell yourself you can do it, you eventually will. It means having confidence in what you do. My goal is to get Olympic Time trial cuts then, (fingers crossed) stand on the Olympic podium and hear the national anthem.  To do this I must put in 4 years of hard work, perseverance and dedication. It's not going to be easy but its my dream.

RMAL CHAMPS RESULTS

So...we didn't win. :( Turns out we didn't have as many swimmers show up so we didn't get as many points. We still swam really well overall. Our team is still unbeaten throughout the season. Thanks for the support though. Xx

Back to School 101: Clothes

Today consisted of 3 things: drawing, shopping, and being sick. I have had a lingering sore throat for the past  4 days now. When I went to patient first they said nothing was wrong! Well.....I'd like for them to know that a sore throat should not last for 4 days.

As you all very well know school starts very soon for me. I always seen to have major dilemmas with clothing. Not that I don't have enough. Trust me I do. It's that I am very good at coming up with an image and I am very picky.  Not that I'm not me. I'm always me, it's just the way that people perceive me. This year I want to be that girl that walks by and you think...."Wow, I love those colors!" Or "Wow, I love that! And maybe even..."Where did she get that? I need that!"

Where did I get these colorful threads. You can find these at Aeropostale, American Eagle, and Hollisters. The best part is we didn't pay full price for any of it! I also have two pairs of toms that I didn't want to put on top of my new clothes.

How would I wear these unique piece?

  • A navy striped T-Shirt is a must have piece for any collection. White will match anything. Although we are only teens, horizontal stripes also help to give the illusion of a petite figure. It is also cut right where low rise jeans are cut so while not exposing stomach it is "short"
  • A collared shirt is a must. Whether you need a nice shirt for a school concert or for a nice dinner with family a collared shirt is easy to pair with khakis or black pants. I find navy an easy color to wear. 
  • I also got a blue strapless polka dot dress. I plan on wearing this with my jean jacket and a nice pair of flats. You can also dress it up with a pretty necklace or dress it down with a white button up shirt and converse.
  • A neon green hoodie is a great way to add color to a simple pair of jeans. You can even wear a pair of skinny jeans that are the same shade of blue. I also purchased a pair of jeans that same shade. It can also be worn with shorts if you are cold. The sleeves can also be pushed up to 3/4 to accent bracelets or nails. 
  • Jeans come in many colors and are used to keep your legs warm in the winter or fall. They can be cuffed, ripped, died, bleached, and embroidered. I plan on perhaps cuffing them. 
  • A light yellow jacket can brighten a pair of black skinny jeans or jeggings. The jacket its self is light and can be kept in a locker an used in the fall or spring when a jacket is needed for cold classrooms. 
  • Toms is a trendy little brand. It takes part in the One for One movement. When you buy a pair a pair is also donated to a child in need. They are available in many shades and can be ordered in the original       design, flats, or high-heels. I own 2 of the original designs in 2 fairly new prints.

Go Blue Streaks!

I had a great time at the fun day and breakfast this morning with my team. I sat with my brother and his friends. :) My summer team is Bon Air and I'm placing really well at these meets! I have gotten 3 first place ribbons, 1 second place ribbon, 2 third place ribbons and 2 fourth place ribbons. I have finally broken 30 seconds in my 50 freestyle. Last night I swam a 29.83 in that event! My next milestone will be 27 seconds. I hope to reach that by next summer. We also were assigned a "buddy" to cheer for. I gave my buddy skittles and star bursts and I cheered them on and I hope that I motivated her. At the end of the meet she brought me a rice krispy treat and a cute poster. The only bad part was that it started to rain so the colors on my poster bled a little bit. Overall I had a great meet! Till next time....Bye! Xx
