My day in pictures

A Kardashian Wedding

Alright, so my guilty pleasure is the Kardashians! I love the show, so of course I had to post about the wedding! E! News was showing quite a few pictures and a "sneak peek" at the wedding special that will air in October! Celeb guests including Demi Lovato, Avril Lavigne,  etc. I'm really excited to see the pictures in People magazine coming out this Friday, and of course, the wedding episode!



The First Day of School

Today I started my first day of my Sophomore year in college...CRAZY! So, over the past week, I looked at some pictures of my first days when I was in elementary school; brought back some great memories! I thought I would share some pictures!
Me through the years (Kindergarten, 1st grade, 4th, and 5th)  

Today was great! I had two classes, which are only 50 minutes a piece, so it's not too bad! And I also have two online classes, so it's starting to feel a little overwhelming, not gonna lie, but it's gonna be great! I'm really looking forward to getting to know some more people, and I get to hang out with one of my friends I met my first semester in Bio Lab. Should be fun! :) And this might sound bad, but I'm already going to be playing hooky tomorrow ;) It's for Taylor Swift, what can I say? LOL.

Could this be a foreshadowing of Tuesday with Taylor Swift?

My fortunes from the cookies at PF Changs!

My Day in Pictures

Well, I went to church and lunch at PF Changs for lunch. I straightened up my room, and got things organized for school tomorrow, which made me feel accomplished. Then, I ran some errands with my parents. We ended up going to wal-mart, where my mom and I picked up a few things for this project we're going to work on. I'm looking forward to it. I'm so inspired by the arts and crafts aisle! Lol.

Where I get my Energy!

At least when my sugar level drops.. It's a great little pick me up! Oh, how I love you Starbucks!

Regrets

I've never believed in them; I've always believed that everything happens for a reason, and I still do. However, lately, I've been thinking about all these times I could've said or done something differently, all the things I didn't do in high school, etc. You know, it's true what they say that it's the things you don't do in life that you regret more than the mistakes you made. Those things you can get over, but you can't go back and change what you DIDN'T do.
I look back and think there are plenty of times when my life could've gone down a completely different path; maybe for the better, maybe for the worst...but, now? I'll never know. That's why I just really want to LIVE from now on. To stop being afraid because things might be a little hard at first, I might not be good at them, and the list goes on...The bottom line is that at the end of my life, I don't want to look back with this list of all these things I had the opportunity to do, but didn't because I was too lazy, was afraid I'd fall and look like a fool, or I was just too scared.
It's time to "Speak Now" and be "Fearless"!

Demi Lovato-VH1 Do Something Awards Performance


Thursday night, Demi Lovato performed her new single, Skyscraper for the first time ever live! Demi has had some emotional problems last year that needed to be dealt with, and she checked herself into rehab. She's not one of the typical teen stars, though, that goes in and out. She was serious about it! I could not be more proud of her for admitting to the world that she had a problem and took care of it. She is a beautiful girl with such an incredible story, and has helped so many other people in the process. This is my theme song at the moment; it basically says that no matter what you're going through, you can rise above it, and come out stronger!

Here's her performance!! LOVED it!

Website Obession

I really liked Chelsea Kane on Jonas LA, and even more so week after week, as she wowed us on Dancing with the Stars! She's super talented, and such a fashionista. She created a new website, which has a little bit of everything like fashion, music, life, etc. Daily, she posts things she's into and bands she likes. Chelsea also has a lot of great contests with some pretty good prizes! Check it out!

Summer Highlights

Since today marks the last day of Summer, technically, as I go back to school tomorrow. I thought I'd re-live some of the highlights and great moments I had this summer!! :D
  • American Idol finale (meeting the Idols on the red carpet after) and getting to spend the day with some of the best friends I've ever had, and my mom! :)

  • Picking up my signed Brad Paisley guitar and ipod
  • Flying to Las Vegas (seeing Donny and Marie)
  • Dodger games/shopping
  • Warner Brothers Studio tour

It was a Summer I will always remember, and I'm glad that I can go back to school and the daily grind with a lot of new memories! It's time for a new school year with new memories, and hopefully some new people to add to my stories ;) lol.

That's all for now,
Shelby
