Hey guys!
So, my best friend Jackie would be so so so so proud of me for blogging, but I'm honestly going to try to blog more so I can work on my writing skills, since I have declared myself a Mass Communications major with a minor in Journalism.
I have recently started a new life at my new university named Frostburg State University. It's in a chilly part of...umm...I think western Maryland, ya know, the part of Maryland with the mountains and bears and snow. I love it here! Although not everyone is friendly, for the most part people say hi when they walk past you and they hold doors open when you're behind them, so I think that's good. I like my roommate a lot. Her name is Deva (pronounced diva) and her birthday is 2 days after mine. She's super cool and funny, I like her. I take SIX classes, which is quite tiring, but I'll get through it.
I'm in my second semester of what should be my junior year, but because of my disorganization and constant absentmindedness, I am still a sophomore. I am trying my best to become who I want to be, but it's becoming more difficult by the day.
I can't seem to stay focused. I always allow some person, some situation, some disheartening news to affect my journey to my dreams. I allow these things to hinder me, stagger me, and I hate it. Why does that happen, you may ask. It's because I put everyone above myself all the time. I allow people to treat me how the want in fear of me hurting their feelings if I tell them, "Hey, I don't like this" or "Hey, don't do that". I put everyone's wants, needs, and feelings before my own, and it's not okay.
I have realized my happiness is my biggest goal. I deserve to be happy, I deserve the best, and I don't deserve to settle. If I have to settle, then I would rather be alone. And alone doesn't mean lonely, by the way. I came out from the womb alone, I can make it alone.
I am determined to be happy and successful in all of my future endeavors.
Join the ride, bloggers. It's going to be a long one.

"as long as it's eye-catching, then it doesn't really matter." -Fashion designer/stylist Jackie K. Simeon
What's up, blogging friends? It's K-dawg again, back from the trap, ready to show y'all my thug thizzle.
Just kidding (but I do like the nickname K-dawg lol).
So, this past Sunday July 21st, I gained enough confidence, energy, and cash to take a trip to New York City for the day to audition for The Face, a modeling show hosted and judged by Naomi Campbell, Coco Rocha, and Karolina Kurkova. Getting there was a hassle in itself; it's kinda hard to muster up $120 in a day, but I was determined to give this my best shot. I had auditioned for America's Next Top Model before, and it didn't go so well (the judge was so wrapped up in her conversation that she couldn't tell me when to start talking for the recording) so I had to try my talent once again.
I wake up at 4:00am, get to Union Station in Washington, D.C. at around 4:30, bought some McDonalds breakfast (probably not the best model breakfast) and boarded my 5:25am train to New York.
I arrive at Penn Station in NYC at 8:30am. I'm bumbling with excitement. "What will they think of me?" "How is my walk?" "Let me practice my face." All of these thoughts running through my head as I walk to West 26th Street to Chelsea Studios. Here's some pictures from my walk!
I arrive to Chelsea Studios at 9:45am, and go upstairs to register. They send us back downstairs, and me and a slew of other girls were standing in line in the heat for over 3 hours to get inside. But it was all worth it, every minute of this experience. Meeting new girls much like me who are just coming here for a chance at a new life, meeting season 1 winner Deyvn Abdullah, and just being in New York in general just felt so uplifting compared to the life I've been living this summer (just boring, boring, and more boring).
Finally, I was thrown into a line of 10 other girls in a dance studio-looking room. The judge told us all to state our name, where we were from, and why we should be chosen as "The Face". I gave it my best shot, with all the spunk and spice in my veins. I wasn't chosen, but I appreciated the experience.
Maybe next time.
