Some Big News Brought to You By My Family!

Well, I have been so busy this semester. I don't remember if I told you, my dear 5 readers, but I may get to walk at graduation this May, and just take my last two classes this summer and get my diploma in August. Well, even BIGGER stuff has gone down! Not for me, but for my sister, Maddie!

You might not be able to see it very well, but my little sister is the new Miss Choctaw 2012!!!!
I'm so happy for her. She has had a tough senior year so far, and she has risen above all of negativity to receive this title. Also, she is the new recipient of the Freshman Achievement Scholarship (I think that's its' name) at UCO...which is the BIGGEST tuition waiver scholarship they offer! I'm so proud of her. She is so deserving of this scholarship. She worked her tail off in drama, volunteering, and most importantly her academics. What person actually elects to take physics when they're not especially gifted in math anyway??? Hahah!
 It almost makes me want to cry because I know she is going to be so successful and happy and I feel like this title and scholarship are her chance at starting fresh and becoming an adult.
Here's a few more pics...I did her hair and makeup.

Casual Wear, after crowning!

Maddie, Me holding up the Dress haha and Miss Choctaw 2011 Melody High marveling at her choice of foot wear for Formal wear! Haha. The dress was too long, so we decided on the highest heels we have! Hahaha

My other hair/makeup appointment, Kenzie Kulig! She is GORGEOUS!!

My two clients before formal wear!

As you can tell, I had such a great time and am very proud of not only my sister, but the other ladies.

I think pageants are often seen as a shallow event. I'm guilty of this thinking too! Ha!

But it takes a lot of guts to get up there and strut your stuff in front of people being paid to judge you!

With all my love, Morgan

I Suffer From Foot In Mouth Disease.

It was a good day...
Until I took my foot and shoved it all the way into my mouth and all the way down to my stomach.
Sorry for the gross visuals, but I just have to illustrate how embarassed I feel!
So here's the deal: Just don't ever say anything that could taken as hurtful about ANYONE.
I just did this today. I didn't say it mean heartedly, but when the "messenger" told the woman what I said, it came out sounding so mean. Which basically means that I hurt the feelings of the sweetest woman on this planet. Even sweeter than my grandma!!
So remember, and this seems pretty basic, don't say anything about anyone that you wouldn't say to their face. It will get back to them and you will have to own up to it.
Good job me.

On a good note, I finally feel better. I was sick the past couple days. No bueno!
Also, I will probably get to walk in May with my Associate's in History. I won't get my diploma until after I take two summer classes. Well, actually three. A Physical Ed class, a science with no lab class and Eurpean history from 1500-1815!
I have to get a degree audit but hopefully I can apply for graduation soon!!

Well, off to pull my foot out of my mouth! I have to wax these brows and dye my roots tonight...they joys of being a female!
With all my love, and my now silent lips, Morgan

A picture to live my life by hahahaha

College Beauty

I think I have finally realized something about myself.

I hate dating.

You may be thinking, "Hey, Morgan, haven't you always said you hate dating?"

And I would reply, "You got that right! But here's the real reason!"

Dating takes energy.

It means if I like someone or want to get to know them, I have to get up and talk to them.

Or text or call them.

Boo!! Hiss!!

The very thought of having to use any of my energy to make someone laugh or like me sounds terrible.

Yes, I realize how embittered and negative that sounds hahaha.

But, I've been thinking and I've hardly typed up anything beauty related!

It's kind of hard because on my other blog with my friend Andrew, I have to talk about beauty stuff (He's the fashion part) so when I get on here I'm all "beautied" out!

So here are my basic college beauty tips.

I don't live in a dorm, because my college is about 20 minutes away from home and it has no dorms so I have no dorm tips, except wear flip flops in the shower so you don't get a foot fungus! Haha

You're probably going to be tired. A lot. Unless you're spoiled and only took classes in the afternoon and don't have a job. Brat. Anyway, to avoid looking ridic tired after a night of studying, or maybe just being out too late with your buds you should:

A) Wash your face very well. Especially if you didn't take off your make up the previous night. Dull skin can make you look even worse.

B) Line the inner rim of your eyes with white eyeliner. It takes out the redness.

C) If your eyes are red from lack o' sleep, use some good ol' handy dandy visine!

D) Blush on the apples of your cheeks will perk up your skin making you look more rested.

E) Obviously, you need to use a cover up on the circles under your eyes. Your cover up should be one shade lighter than your skin.

Running late? Of course you are! But this is college...you don't have to be dressed up!

Slip on clean clothes, put on deodorant, hair in pony tail (if it's not long enough, just pin back the front with bobby pins, headband or bandana) and for goodness sakes, brush your teeth!

Don't worry about make up and take a seat closest to the back and door.

It allows for a less annoying entry to class and for a quick escape so no one sees you in your rough state! Hahaha.

If you must wear make up, then that is your prerogative. I think you should've woken up earlier though!

Is it sad that I've used all of these tips, tried and true?? Hahaha

With all my love, Morgan

Why Am I So Exhausted?

Because today feels like the LONGEST DAY EVER!!!

While I did officially start school yesterday, with just one Modern European history class, today was my full day of school. I had 4 classes, starting at 8 am.

Good news is, all my professors seem really cool and my favorite professor remembered me from last spring semester! She is so knowledgeable and I hope to be the same way when I'm teaching history one day!

I must be a glutton for punishment because I'm taking 18 hours this semester.

Two from one of the hardest (yet, still my favorite!) professor.

I have an online class that I still need to check.

If I could tell my high school self something, it would be this:

"Self, junior high sucked. High school sucked a little less. College is amazing. But it's a lot of work, so appreciate your lazy days...you won't get many when school starts!"

I find myself always wishing time had passed.

"Man, I wish this class would just end!"

"I wish the summer would come already!"

"Is it 6 pm yet??"

But I think I need to take a chill pill and appreciate the time I have here on earth.

At my church, Pastor Craig Groeschel just preached a sermon on wisdom.

How we just need to ask for it and we'll get it!

How awesome is that?

I feel like I would have never come up with appreciating my time without my many prayers for wisdom. It is truly amazing how God works.

And he doesn't even get the cred for it most of the time.

I hope everyone is having an amazing day and enjoying it!

After all, we're not guaranteed our next breath.

With all my love, Morgan
