FINALLY a College Student!!

Hey everyone!! I wanted to share some really exciting news with y'all!! I graduated high school FINALLY!!!! :D After I came home from the hospital in September and recovered from surgery, I started back to my school stuff. I was bummed because I only had about a month left of stuff to do right before I was told I was sick and I was admitted into the hospital for a month. But alas, I got everything done! I completed everything 2 days before Thanksgiving and an added bonus, I have a month off before school starts!! I start classes January 2nd and my graduation party is December 15th! I'm studying to be a Music Therapist and a high school music teacher, along with training my 8 month old puppy to be a therapy dog.


So I am so excited to start college and another kind of exciting yet scary thing is I am moving next year as well. I never have moved before and I don't like change, so this is a very scary territory for me to be in but I am trusting God to help me through this new phase in my life. There are alot of changes going on within the next year but I am excited about them :)


Well, thats it for this quick post! I just wanted to tell you guys an update on my life and share these exciting new things with you. I hope you all have a great night and I hope you enjoyed this! I'll be blogging again soon! :)

Room Renovation is FINALLY complete!

Hey everyone! I hope y'all are having a great Monday afternoon! I'm sorry its taken me so long to make a "finished room renovation" post, I've been super busy trying to get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas and just everyday life has gotten in the way. But, my room renovation is FINALLY finished!!! I'm so incredibly happy with it, my friends from college say that it has a very classy feel which is true :) I painted 2 walls turquoise and the other two walls are a light beige color, I think its kind of looks like the ocean :) anyways, here are some pictures:


So I have a couple quotes on my walls. The first one is down in the picture on the bottom left. It says "Faith Not Fear" and the reason I put it up was 1) I love the quote and it has helped me through all my recent medical stuff. 2) I also put it up in memory of a very close friend who passed away last year and she used to say this quote a lot. And the other one is down in the picture on the bottom right, that one says "If Music be the food of love, play on!" its by Shakespeare and its from his play Twelfth Night. I've just loved this quote so much and I thought it had to go on my wall! :)

Here is one more picture of something that I couldn't fit into the photo collage I made above:



This vanity is on the wall that has my bedroom door on it because it was the only place where I could put it and still have room around it. It is also next to the wall that says "Faith not Fear." To give y'all an idea of how big my room is, its only a 12X12 but I was able to fit a lot of furniture in it :)


I had my sister, my grandparents and my parents help with the painting and decorating. My grandma is a great interior designer, so she helped me place all my decorations and such. My sister was so sweet and she came over and helped with the grueling paint process, which took not as long as I thought :) I mean with me, my sister, my mom, and her best friend we got it all finished in a few hours! :)


So thats my room renovation! I'm so happy with it and plus everything that I put in there can go with me when I move next year with the exception of the paint, obviously :)

I hope y'all enjoyed this and I hope you have a great day! I'll try and update on this blog more often! :) If you haven't checked out my other blog "Beauty Beat" here's the link: www.mariah-cantstopthebeauty.blogspot.com :)
