What's my story? It's a long one, actually. I started out in Sarasota, Florida, a coastal city on the Gulf, full of classy cars and expensive homes. It was home to me, until the summer following my ninth birthday. We lost everything in a flood, forcing us to move South, to Charlotte, a quaint beach town, boasting one of the lowest crime rates in America. My dad worked as the boss of a major RV business, allowing us to take those little suckers all across the country on our summer vacations. Those were some of the best days, traveling all over the place with my family, from Alaska to Niagra, the memories made on those trips will stay with me forever. Following my eighth grade year, my dad bought his own RV business out in Texas, which felt like halfway across the world to a girl who was about to start high school.
Leaving all of my friends behind, I trekked across the great terrain of Southern America, and found myself in a small community of insanely SOUTHERN individuals. Cowboy hats and ostrich-skinned boots were the latest in fashion around here, and I knew I had to cling tightly to my roots so I wouldn't find myself conforming. (I do admit that I bought a pair of boots, though, the longer I was here the more the culture began to grow on me.)
I attended a small private college prep school all through high school, loved every second of it, met some of the most influential and amazing people, and graduated in 2011 with a mindset of shooting for the stars.
Now, I call Arkansas my home, and cannot believe I will be graduating next year! (3 and a half years seems too short!!) I found my niche, becoming the sports editor of the school newspaper, the producer of my very own sports show for the university, joining Big Brother/Big Sister, and becoming a member of a sorority. I love every second of this part of my life, and yes, I am still waiting on my Prince Charming to come, but the freedom of singleness is definitely something I have grown to appreciate in college.
My friends are my biggest supporters, and my professors have taken their time to grow me as a student and as an individual. I am now planning to apply for graduate school and move back to Florida following graduation. From there, it's all God, but I know He has gotten me this far, so I have faith He will get me the rest of the way. That's my story, what's yours?
This is my next style endeavor! It looks painful, BUT, like I always say, beauty is pain! Earrings are definitely becoming more and more popular, from lip piercings to bellybuttons, it seems like everyone has to have one! Now, I'm not a big fan of numerous piercings, but that's my own personal preference. I believe simple is classy, as well as small. The smaller and simpler something is, the classier it is. Take a tote bag compared to a clutch purse. Which is classier? Exactly.
