New look competition!

Alright so this mostly goes out to my Twitter followers but I want my blog followers to have a shot at this as well!

So I'm graduated from High School and will be starting College in the fall. I feel like I want a new style. A new look. but I want suggestions! I've already changed my hair by making it longer but now I want more! Clothes, make up whatnot you know? 

This is where you all come in: 

Give me a suggestion! The 10 I like the most i will feature you on my blog  along with encouragement for you to be followed ((That's all I can offer at the moment))

Here is how!

Use Polyvore to create a look ((you will have to sign up but I promise you no spam)) and then when you publish a look send me the link! If you are on Twitter Direct Message me if you are a fellow blogger put it in the comments section! I wanna see you're creative juices flowing!!!

Tips and Tricks

I love Lady Gaga and Flyleaf

I hope ya'll show me what you've got!

Love you all!

'Bout to Get my Journalism On!

So this summer I'm working as a reporter for Three Sixty Journalism
I started last summer as an intermediate camp member and then continued to sharpen my journalism skills by continuing to write for them over the year.

This summer I'm working on a piece about paying for college and college tuition and scholarships and if college degree's are really worth it.
I'd like to hear anybody's opinions on the matter since I'm working on this for the next seven weeks (During which, I hope to also get more diligent about blogging real blog entires instead of random poetry I happen to have up.)

XOXO

Down The Rabbit Hole

Down the rabbit hole she goes
Her sister watches and she knows
she's going to where she's been before

can't help but laugh
can't resist to cry
as her past goes before her eyes

all her life she was warned
but her sister's words went on ignored.

"don't chase the rabbit
Drenched in blood.
all you love will come undone."

Little sister
little sister
please tell me you remember
of our coldest darkest winter
from which I tried to keep you sheltered.
Those are my footprints in the snow
On the path I prayed you would never ever go!

"don't chase the rabbit
Drenched in blood.
all you love will come undone."

little sister
little sister
tell me tell me can you hear
the sound of your life going
tick tock tick tock
all i can hear is the sound of your blood going
drip drop drip drop
the sound is so deafening it makes my
heart drop heart stop
stop
stop
stop
stop
stop
please stop.

"don't chase the rabbit
Drenched in blood.
all you love will come undone."

little sister
little sister

all her life she was warned
but her sister's words went on ignored.

Little sister little sister
stay back from the edge!
Don't play with that rabbit she's not your friend!
I never want to see you near that rabbit hole ever again.

all her life she was warned
but her sister's words went on ignored.

She slips
she falls
hearing her sister's voice
as she calls
for her to grab on
that she will stay strong
a promise to one day see the sun.

Down the rabbit hole
she won't fall
without taking her sister down as well
Down the rabbit hole
to hell.

**So this is the poem I performed for the poetry competition. around the beginning I forgot my poem and just started making stuff up and I liked this way a lot better. I think it went well for stuff I came up with on the spot ha ha. but i appreciate feedback:D I'm super happy with how my forgetfulness paid off**
