New beginnings while giving back

Life has just been on a happy kick. Maybe because I'm done learning for a month and a half, and my only worries the past few days have been to make sure I check in on the blog world every once in a while. Besides that I've been seeing friends, family, and staying in bed with my one true love, netflix.

Today is where things get a whole lotta different. Well, at least I hope not drastically. Don't miss me too much. But if you do, feel free to write and/or send gifts to my home address.
My dad doesn't understand why everyday there is a new package with my name on it. Keep 'em comin.

I start my first retail job in about 45 minutes. *gulp*. I've never done retail before. Previous jobs have just been chasing and reprimanding kids to listen to me although I look their size and height. I'm also not allowed to wear jeans, only nice outfits. It's winter. I don't do "nice". So with that, here's to more instagrams of my cute stylish outfits.

And less time dedicated to blogging. I don't have a set schedule since it's a month long break before school starts and all I have to worry about is working and blogging. If I lack posts, just remember to stalk the crap out of me on my twitter. I'll be sure to report new tinder dudes (hopefully we can soon say bye bye to this...we'll see....), new shopping finds, and how much I love my blog friends.

In addition to all of this goodie goodness, I *fingers crossed* got a co-'advisor' position for my high school youth group, since I'll be home all next semester. A thing to know about me is that when I was going through the lows of my roller coaster ride of high school, I always had my youth group to fall back on. I drove all my anger and frustration into passion and hard word for my positions on board to inspire others. At the end of my time in my youth group, aka near graduation, I was ready to peace the eff out. But being an alumnus and looking back, I wish I was still involved.

I couldn't be more thrilled to help give back to what has shaped me into the person I am today. 100 freakin percent. Since my freshman year, I've been dying to help staff like my blog friend (AND REAL LIFE FRIEND), Jenny has.

There is nothing better than the feeling of knowing you are able to give back.

In the words of a sixth grader on instant messenger: "XO BBL. LYLAS TEXT THE CELLI <3".
