10 Most AMAZING Wonders of Nature
(Video by: Matthew Santoro.)

"Mother, I am taking you here... and here... and there, too.)

I was watching this cool video on Youtube about some of the most amazing wonders of the world, and I hatched a plan to visit these places with my mother. Before I was born, my father promised to take her to Europe as she wanted to go there during college but didn't after turning down a study abroad opportunity to marry him.

So, I told her that I would take her to these awesome sites, because they were awesome and I would love to see them with my mother - a person who has given up so much to keep me safe and growing.

The Cano Cristales River in Columbia is fascinating. I love colors and I would love to visit the river. Just seeing those beautiful colors up close would be awesome! Plus, if I were to go in the river, maybe I could turn into a rainbow?

This, of course, would mean that we would have to have an ample amount of money.

Say, mother, are you against going to clown college?

Christmas Gift - My Very Own Superheroine

My uncle Matthew created this for me as a Christmas gift. I'm going to frame it and hang it on the wall of my dorm room this fall. It's wonderful! I am officially a comic character.  A blackgirlnerd dream come true!

Hoop and all ...

Replaced my nose piercing as well. Big things hap'nen this year. 2015 for the win.

So... this happened.

Got a new haircut. It's a bob. I like it.

Admission Confidential: To-do Lists

Did I say my mom is the queen of the to-do list? Well she is and apparently so am I. Senior year class load (of course, I have a full load, are you kidding me? no college-bound student would allow an empty class period to grace their transcripts. That's just crazy talk), interviews, recommendation chase, application sprint, and I'm taking the ACT in October - yes, OCTOBER! Why? because I like living life on the edge, well, not really.

This is me after creating a spreadsheet of requirements for the colleges on my Common App list. Someday I will be the glorious and beautiful girl you once knew. When? Maybe once those acceptance letters start trickling in.
