Friendly Reminders

So I haven't updated this blog in awhile to say the least....life has been beyond busy for me. Extracurricular and academics completely took over my life especially for the past few weeks. I can't say that I did an amazing job balancing senioritis and I def wish my grades were higher but I GRADUATED. I also got into law school, a few to be exact but my first choice and the school I will be attending is Northeastern. I am so excited except for worrying about housing and financing a legal education. I have been really stressed and worried about this but reading my last blog post really encourages me.
It reminded me of how incredibly blessed I am and that despite my circumstances things always work out. So I am no longer worried but know that everything will work out, and am excited to prepare for Boston!

Time to Play the Waiting Game

So I received my LSAT score today...*sigh*...I actually did better in the sections that I didn't study for. The section that everyone said was the hardest--I aced! Ironically the section I expected to do best in I bombed. Welp but it's over. I debated about taking the test again, but I honestly don't want to. After talking to my support team I realized that there really as no need to do so. I am confident in my application and that God will lead me where I am supposed to be.

I have banned myself from all things law school related because they only cause doubt and I really have no time for that. My focus right now is finishing my senior year strong, attaining my degree, and living that life I was created to live.
If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength!
Proverbs 24:10

I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
Matthew 17:20

So letting and trusting and believing....

This may sound too optimistic for some but honestly I take solace in my faith. My entire life thus far has been exceedingly blessed. There are many things that I have accomplished but for the grace of God and I know law school will be no different. So I am waiting on a final recommendation but I am ready to submit all of my applications. I will keep you posted on my status and hopefully by my birthday I will have solidified my choice for law school! I hope whatever your dreams and goals may be that you follow them with Faith. Faith is so incredible and no matter what with God you will end up in life where you are supposed to be.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Bonne Année!!!! Glückliches neues Jahr!!! no matter what language you speak Happy New Year!!! I hope today has been wonderful for you. I enjoy New Year celebrations and while I don't make resolutions, I support anyone who does. I am so excited for 2011 because I know so many wonderful things will happen this year. In less than six months, Lord willing I will be the first person in my family with a degree and pursuing a graduate school degree. Where? I'm not sure yet but I'm not freaking out about it because I know the Lord will lead me where I need to go. As the days of my final undergraduate Winter Break come to an end I am excited and nervous to start my LAST undergraduate semester at UNC. I am more anxious as I stand at the precipice of childhood and adulthood. Despite being 21 I have yet to consider myself an adult, but as the reality that I will soon have a degree and may be leaving behind NC for law school approaches I realize that I am transitioning into adulthood. It's a scary thought but with all the lessons I've learned from my parents, from college, and various experiences throughout my lifetime I realize that I'M READY!!!
I am blessed to see another year, great faith, great friends, and endless possibilities. So welcome 2011 and adulthood....I'M READY!!! So to myself, all my friends, and even someone that stumbles upon this....I speak faith health, prosperity, abundance in this new year. Continually let your light shine.

Happy Holidays

Lest I not forget....HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Winter is without a doubt my favorite season and this time of year is most certainly the best time of the year. I love everything about the Christmas season from food, family, friends, cheesy Christmas movies...it is simply the MOST wonderful time of the year. Most importantly though Christmas is a celebration of Christ's birth, an assurance that God still loves his people. I always become reflective and with the celebration of birth and life am always grateful for my family and the journeys that each of us has taken to reach this point. More and more I find myself excited for my nephews because commercial Christmas is most certainly for children.I love the child like innocence and for me it's a time to see the good in humanity. Despite how we might treat each other throughout the year everyone seems to get a little nicer in December, everyone seems more compassionate. I wish these were qualities that we could focus on 365 days of the year but it's always nice to know that they still exist. Still am not sure what I'll be doing for NYE and that's okay....right now I'm just enjoying TODAY.

Merry Christmas
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Whatever you say just make this season the best season of your life....

The Wait....

It's been quite a while since I've had free time to blog, I seriously forgot how busy SENIOR year can be. It's really a bittersweet time as I'm quickly realizing that my time at UNC is coming to a close. As I reflect back over my seven semesters and prepare for my eighth, I could not have asked for a better college experience. I remember not even wanting to attend UNC not I can't imagine living. It's amazing how so much of my life is connected to a small town. Enough of the sentiments though I have an entire semester left for that.
Well I'm in the process of applying to law school and am quickly realizing I hate the waiting game. I'm waiting on my LSAT scores back(sends up prayer), I'm waiting on one of my professors to finish my recommendation, and am general I'm just WAITING. I've never really experienced this before, I was definitely confident when applying to undergrad and really had no concerns. However this law school process is definitely more harrowing, I'm not sure if it's because this is something that will impact the rest of my life or because how impassioned I am about studying law. Whatever the case the WAITING is really getting to me. I've began to question my abilities and qualifications and right now that is NO BUENO.
So I'm trying to remain positive, realize that I put my heart into my applications which is all I can do, and not worry about the things I can't control. So for all of you that are stuck in the wait- for anytime of professional school, or just in life. Stay encouraged! Trust and believe and it will surely come to fruition. Quickly reminded of Matthews 6: 25-34, so I'm laying it at the alter and letting it all go.

Every superhero needs their theme song...

Well it's past June 1st but the last few months for me have been beyond incredible, unpredictable, phenomenal, and so many other adjectives. I have learned so much and grown in so many ways but I don't even know where to begin. Well my 21st birthday was beyond belief there was so much to celebrate, most recently April 11th I became a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. So the first few months of 2010 have been beyond good to me. I can't believe the year is 1/2 over already, as I look back over my junior year it was probably my most memorable time at UNC. I am bit saddened when I see the Class of 2014 come here for orientation...I get this nostalgic feeling that it's not my time to go yet!!! UNC has been wonderful and I'm sure over the next year I will def speak more about it and how much I'll miss it here.
I'm also excited because KANYE WEST is back!!! I have been asking for many months where Kanye is because I've been missing his music. I never realized that beyond most gospel music how he has written the soundtrack to my life...and he def hasn't disappointed me with his latest single POWER if you haven't heard go to www.kanyewestpower.com...also it'll be released June 8th on Itunes. So my summer is now fulfilled...
Speaking of summer what has really happened to 2010, it's already summer and it seems like it will be a sweltering one but with all of the positivity this year has brought me thus far I'M READY....
So you may have noticed I changed the name of the blog and it's because I believe The Road Less Traveled speaks to my free- spiritedness and how I generally try to live my life. The title also is a the line from of my favorite poem by Robert Frost which I will leave you with...sometimes it's okay to dare to be different...I'll post more soon



1. The Road Not Taken


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Under construction

Alrightie it's been far too long since I updated my blog and I promise June 1, 2010...I'll resume blogging...simply put I've been living.
