100th Blog Post And An Award!

I've finally made it to 100 blog post! This is really exciting news for me with all of the times I have started and stopped and started and stopped blogging. I really didn't think I would make this this far. Since I didn't know I had made it to 100 posts until two minutes ago I have nothing special planned. But it just so happens that I have something a little bit bigger and more exciting than my 100 post to talk about!

I was nominated for the Liebster Award!!!!! Chelsea over at Southern Charm nominated me! Thank you so much! I have seen bloggers receiving the Liebster Award for some time now but I never thought I would receive one myself. For those of you who don't know what the Liebter Award is I will do a little background on it.

Here are the questions I received from Chelsea:

1. Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging because I fell in love with other blogs and I was reading blogs everyday. I thought it would be cool to write my own blog plus I really like writing. I thought it would also be a cool way to document my life and maybe help someone else. 

2. What is your most prized possession?

Without a doubt it would be my class ring. I love it and it has so much meaning to me.

3. If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would it be?

This is kind of hard! I don't know if this counts as 4 people or 1 person but Mumford and Sons. They are my favorite band of all time and I would do anything to meet them. Now if they count as 4 people than I would love to meet Marcus Mumford (and maybe he would bring the rest of the guys). 

4. Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give you 13-year-old self?

I would tell myself to live in the moment and not worry about getting to college and out on your own. You'll get there and wish you could be young again. 

5. Who is your favorite fictional character?

Blair Waldorf for Gossip Girl without a doubt

6. Describe yourself in three words

Creative, Funny, Caring

7. Who is a hero in your life?

My mom is probably one of my first heroes. She amazing and has gone through so much and is still strong. 

8. What is your favorite season of the year?

I really love spring. It has the best temperature, its not too hot or too cold. And theres always flowers and pretty things. Plus my birthday is in spring

9. Who is your fashion icon (you can pick 3)?

I really don't have fashion icons but I would have to say Serena Van Der Woodsen, Lilly Pulitzer, and Kourtney Kardashian

10. If you could live one day over, what would it be?

I really don't have one day that jumps out at me but after thinking a little it would be a day (more like weekend) last semester where I had the room to myself and me and a boy were talking. I was so happy. 

11. Morning person or night person?

Night!!!
