UPDATE!!

Gosh, I am so bad at this....I wish I knew that more than just one person read this...that would give me more motivation to update more often. But I will still do my best from now on. What's really funny is that the last time I really updated I was saying what a releif it was to make it through the first 2 weeks of my Senior year, and here I am getting ready to graduate a week from tomorrow!!

So to update on my life since September, I will try to make a list of things. Here we go:

1. I turned 18
2. I voted in the Presidential election
3. I went skiing for the first time
4. I made a yearbook
5. I have decided I am going to UNT in the fall
6. I am about to Graduate

So there. That is the bulk of it. I know there is so much more that I could say, but I just don't have the energy to write it all out. For now I will finish this with some pictures from Unify '09 (girls retreat) that was this past weekend.

Blogging For Dollars

Finding scholarships has got to be one of the hardest things to do. It’s time consuming, and sometimes even boring when you are not getting any results! I love finding any new website that will help me in my search. Scholarshippoints.com is one that I have found and has made a fun way to find scholarships. You find various codes in different locations and you enter them in for points that will help you towards scholarships. What I like about it is that it is kind of like a scavenger hunt for scholarships. You read what you can, and do what you can to earn as many points as possible. The only thing I do not care for is that some links to places to get points or scholarships, I do not completely trust. Sometimes they seem like websites that would steal your passwords and used it to steal information about you. I would just like to be more ensured by the scholarshippoints.com people that I am not getting scammed by these other sites and that they are legitimate. I guess there are just too many horror stories from people about getting scammed while looking and applying for scholarships. But other than that I love this source!
