COVER OF FLARE
Ok, soooo.. IM FINALLY BACK.

I have been having a stressful week but today i turned  in the scholarship essay. Only 2 people were nominated for this LARGE scholarship and i have an interview next week. Im so nervous bc i really really need this. I had to HAND WRITE this scholarship... I HAVE HORRIBLE HANDWRITING! lol, so i plan to kick this interviews ass. What pissed me off was the other girl wrote her essay IN CLASS, WTF? i rewrote mine like 23947298 times lol. STILL LOOKED FUNNY... BUT on the plus side, they reserved  a smaller scholarship if one person doesn't get it, so at least i know i'll walk away with something. I of course am aiming for the bigger something!!!!

the awaited, COLLEGE GUIDE

SO you've came this far, All you know is you NEED to go to college.... but from there you dont really know where to go...
You are me, 4 years ago of course. About sophomore year I had NO CLUE what college I wanted to go to what a major was, how many credits so I need to graduate, when will I graduate? Its a mess. Councilors help, but not enough.

THE TRUTH IS it is NOT that stressful, You just need to be very organized.

1. Get a list of colleges universities and community colleges in areas you are willing to relocate to. I say one good community college close to home, 2 or 3 in your city or area, and 3 BIG NAME schools you crave.
2. While looking these up ( I recommend collegeboard.com) Find the prices of how much these schools will be. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED. THIS IS THE FACTOR WILL HELP YOU NARROW DOWN YOUR RESULTS. Look at how much aid on the school sites that they give a year and see if it can help you.
3. Look at theu.com and check out the life on campus as told by students. They tell you the extra stuff like greek life, party atmosphere, drug and alcohol availability.  IM AM NOT INTO THOSE THINGS but if you want to know what the atmosphere is like they have hilarious charts VOTED ON by students, there's even on on how hot the girls and guys are!
4. KEEP EVERYTHING ORGANIZED my plan was to keep a file folder with all this information you found WITH A CALENDAR that has all deadlines. STAY ON TOP OF DEADLINES by stay in top I mean BE EARLY!!!!!! LET ME TELL YOU A SHORT STORY:


" I know this girl right, she waited till about December to turn in her application for college at SHSU (heh), that was way before the April deadline, BUT she needed to live in the college dorm, the deadline for that was may, so she turns it in ...in APRIL. She picked out this dope apartment dorm and made plans for everything. GUESS WHAT? It filled up, her second choice filled too.... SO SHE WAS STUCK WITH THE THIRD and let me tell you, IT SUCKED!!!! IT WASNT FABULOUS. I KNOW, I know her well. DO NOT WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE OR YOU WILL GET THE LEFT OVER SHIT!"

5. After selecting the right college ( you will know, it will be like bob barker him self shines on you and says "COME ON DOWWWWN" ) YOU NEED TO VISIT AND GET ADVISED FOR CLASSES.
It is usually required to get advised and during your advising appointment you will learn everything about credits, how many you need to graduate, they will guide you in picking a major and minor (if necessary)

* It is not a bad idea to go to a community college or small school for 2 years to get the core curriculum out of the way and then transfer to a better university to graduate. Plenty of people do this but if that is not your style ( it wasn't mine) try to look for as many scholarships as you can and take classes in the summer.
 SOME TIPS AFTER THE BREAK

SUNDAY FEATURES:

I guess this is the new section of my blog bc im so lazy on Sundays,
I am posting the COLLEGE GUIDE tomorrow and it will be up till Wednesday, so i wont be updating as often next week UNLESS i find something AMAZING. The guide looks sooo GOOD, can't wait for you too see it.

This Sunday KODA has made a cutie of the day and he asked a bunch of things im SURE you don't know yet so CHECK IT OUT.


Also i got a few awards:
Kimee gave me

andFashionWh0re gave me ^^^

What Will I Wear?

I don't know yet. But lets update you on what i've been up too:
Yesterday i picked my classes. I got pretty much what i needed EXCEPT one class that was online. I registered for it but im going to drop it and swap it over the summer. I am taking the correlating class now so i have to wait for it to be over to sign up. ALSO, the ONLINE CLASS is an EXTRA $303. WTF? that is ridic. Brings next semesters running total to $6,250. Im getting the scholarship as you may know. It is for this organization im in, i dont know how much yet but last year they gave away 2 $500. Being as though im the ONLY member (sad i know) hopeully the best thing would be one $1,000. I doubt that will happen, so im thinking $250-500. (I dont want to get my hopes up) I also decided im going to take a MINI-MESTER, ie: a 3week class over the summer.
AHH College is alot to worry about which is why...
IM WRITING YOU GUYS A COLLEGE GUIDE!!!!
i hope you like it , it will most likely be up Sunday or Monday bc SATURDAY im going to the Tim Gunn event above!

Of course the shoot was about accessories, and if you want a chick with a ton,
Im pretty much it.




It worked well, i've never really modeled before but it was a good experience, the crew was dope.
I think i'm going to stick to styling though hahaha i feel like i better at that...
Basically throughout it was was showing off the "Accessories" so i kinda did the same poses, like 3949284 times lol. I couldn't think of anything :/ boo, I can't wait to see the end of it!

I am also busy and this is probably my first movie all year lol.

Andre Leon Talley is so fun, i wish he was my mentor. He seems so fun, his personality is sooo real and cute. His deleted scene when he goes to paris cracks me up.
I couldn't find that scene but he is talking about being at Karl Lagerfelds house on vacation and how you have to change 3 or 4 times a day because he doesn't want to see you in the same outfit all day! You must see it, it is amazing. I think im going to buy it, i red boxed it, but it is worth buying.

HAPPY THREE YEARS!
