I was hoping on doing two of the year long classes for Yearbook and Commercial Photography. I was wanting to get the cord for graduation because this is something I could see myself doing besides Biomedical Engineering. I will still major in Biomedical but I want to major in photography as well... Decisions Decisions Decisions..

2012 in Review
What was the best song of 2012?
My all time favorite song over the year of 2012 would be Tonight (Best You Ever Had) by John Legend. I first heard the song on the hit movie "Think Like a Man". It's a great song because it talks about how you will have the best time of your life with your significant other. This song never gets old because I know when I first heard it that I downloaded it onto my phone and seriously listened to it on repeat. I knew the whole lyrics to it by the next day because that's how often I listened to the song. This is definitely my all time favorite song of 2012.
What was the best movie of 2012?
The best movie in my opinion would be Think Like a Man. It's so hilarious and definitely never gets old. Kevin Hart (one of the actors in the film) is too funny and really makes the movie much more funnier. This was definitely a great idea to make a movie with a plot like this one. Us girls, need to know how the mind of a man works. I've learned a few tips from this movie actually. "She who controls the cookie, controls the game." In other words, don't throw yourself on the person and instead learn about who they are. If you don't understand that.. It means DON'T HAVE SEX!
What was the most important news story of the year?
The most important news story of the year to me would be the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School with the murders of 20 students both 6 & 7 years old, as well as 6 faculty members. It's really important because 26 human beings were killed.
Who was the most important person of 2012?
I honestly don't think there are any important people in the year 2012 because everybody has a purpose. Although Barack Obama has been elected for President for the 2nd time, others have had a huge impact on this country. Because of those reasons, I cannot think of anyone who is THE most important person of 2012
My Holiday
- I got a lot of cool Beatles posters for Christmas! I got to repaint my room and the posters are like already hanging up on the wall. My from definitely looks like an older girl's room! It's more "hip"
- Make all A's for the next 3 six weeks, do all my homework, and make sure that my chores at home are done and that I don't have problems with anyone this year!
- The one thing i'm looking forward to for the year 2013 is that i'm one year away from graduating!!!!
Favorite Photos of 2012
I like this photo because it's a 7 smaller photos to make one bigger photo. They're all the same photos but are cropped to make the full image as if it was just one photo.
I thought this picture was the coolest! Who gets eye stitches, right? The stitches look way too cool and it even looks like a star or flower.
This picture is so pretty. I thought it was so cool how an artist decided to take his artwork to the beach to make an even bigger photo. His swirls are like so perfect it just makes it pretty!
