SnowDay ❄️❄️❄️

Wednesday was my first ever snow day in college. We did snow angels, did the nae nae, threw snow balls, and twerked (lol). Just a bunch of crazy college kids playing in the snow at 2:30 in the morning!😂

Choose Happy!☺️

The littlest things used to bother me but now they don't. What other people say about me doesn't effect me anymore more because I know who I am! I've been in the single season for five months, but these last few months have been a blessing for me because I have more time to work on myself. I I read the bible every morning and my relationship with God is growing stronger each and evey day. I post pictures on Instagram even though I my hate how I look or afraid of not getting enough likes. I read, laugh at funny vines in public, and sometimes I say the wrong words. I used to walk into a room and be like I hope everyone likes me. Now when I walk into a room I wonder if I will like everybody. I don't fall head over heels everytime a guy says that he likes me. If I want to eat a donut, I will eat it like it's the best chocolate donut in the world and not regret eating it. The thing is I'm not living my life for the sake of people anymore. I love myself more than anyone can ever love me and that's the greatest love of all. When you love yourself, you could careless about anyone's opinion and you would never belittle anyone because you don't have to. I do whatever makes my soul HAPPY! Like dancing infront of the mirror. Doing a medi pedi and a facial mask (I am the spa. Lol) Singing out of tune to Adele. Doing Zumba with my friends and pretending we are the best dancers on the planet. Doing little scenarios in my head when I should be studying. Anything! You have to choose happy to be happy. If today was my last day I would want people to know that I was happy. That I was smiling and you couldn't see a single worry on my face. I did things that I loved to do and inspired some people along the way. Be joyful on purpose, always! 1 Thessalonians 5:16

Be Mindful

Everybody has those days where they just hate the world and anybody who looks at you strange. You don't stop to talk to people. You blame everyone for making you feel the way you feel about yourself. What I am trying to say is Be Mindful. Yes, you might of had a bad day but don't hurt someone else's spirit just because someone broke yours. Half the time the person or thing that broke us doesn't even know that had an effect on us. Your roommate did something that pissed you off again and you want to tell them so badly but you don't know how you can talk to them without cursing them out first. Relax, rewind, and reconsider. Take a chill pill and think about the situation before you go off because you might say something that you will regret. All I am trying to say is put yourself in their position first. Think from their point of view. Ask yourself if you can handle the situation better. Pray that you will stop acting out your feelings. You want God to bless you but you don't want to love the person who is mean to you or left you heart broken. That's not going to work! In 1 John  4:21 it says  "The commandment that God has given us is: "Love God and love each other!" Hate is strong, but Love heals all things. Share even if you don't feel like it! Ask someone about their day or their classes. Notice the small things and give compliments. We can do so many things when we treat each other the way we would like to be treated. You never know when you might need that same person again. Be mindful of your actions because you never know the hardships and hurt someone could be going through in their life!.

Ask Ms.S!

If anybody has any questions they would like to ask I am here for you! If you want me to write about a special topic like Forgivieness (coming very soon) or relationships, etc. I would be more than happy. Your name will be anonymous and I promise not to judge or be too bias. I know how it is, you wanna talk to somebody sooo bad but you're afraid they will judge you or you just don't have anybody who would understand you. I like giving advice and I would never tell anybody to do something I wouldn't do. It can be hard for me to reach out to other people because I'm a little shy and I hate holding things in. Please tell me if you don't want to use your question on the blog. I will answer your question and send to you my response directly to your address. I just wanna help people stop hurting and who knows you might just help somebody else out. I will respect everyone's privacy and I will not save anybodys email. You don't even have to tell me your name. Just write to me at swherry6@gmail.com with the subject as Ask Ms.S!

Dorthy Dandridge

Many people idolize Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn but not many people know about the lovely Dorthy Dandridge. Dorthy Dandridge was the first African American actress to win an academy award. Her most famous movies she has starred in is Carmen Jones with Harry Belafonte. When I found out that Netflix had Carmen Jones, I could not resist myself. She's sexy, charming, beautiful, and witty. I admire Dorthy and her work and if I could meet anyone dead or alive she would definitely be one the people I would meet. So who do you admire?

Senegalese Twists

So I got my braided the other day because I'm tired of doing my own hair! This transitioning to natural process is long but will be well worth it at the end! I kind of regret getting braids because they took everything and my grocery to pay for and I wished the stylist used black coslored weave instead of this dark brown color that makes my skin look glory. This half up half down look has been my go to style because it's the easiest and cute but Thank God for YouTube and the other braided sistas like me making tutorials on how to style braids and twists. My friends back on campus are going to go cray when they see my hair! What inspired me to get these twists was Pinterest (best app everrrr) because I liked how they looked and wanted to try something new. I'm definetly getting a sew in after I take these braids out so I can stretch my new growth and stay away from unnecessary heat that will damage my hair. Just another day of learning and loving the person that I am becoming!

It's a New Day, It's a New Day,band it's a New Blog!😄

It has been a full year since I abandoned my little blog and so much stuff has changed since then. Today is my last day at home for Christmas break and I can't believe that half of my freshman year is over! I came, I saw, and I conquered! My first semester was great academically and spiritually! I met new friends from all areas across the state. I loved and I lost. My heart was broken but it didn't take long for me to repair it! I found that I am content with my status because love will always be around and all that matters now is completing my educational journey. I strengthened my relationship with God and that's the best relationship I could ever have! I'm excited about the future and the many people that I will meet! When I look at the number 2014, I see the 14 (lucky number). The number fourteen is special or whatever to some people. But to me it means growth, clean, blessed, and new opportunities. I left some people in 2013, and I hope it stays that way. If something doesn't challenge me, help me, or make me into a better person then I don't want it! I'm loving life and the woman that I am becoming this year! Just some words of wisdom I found off Pinterest (my fav app lol.) "Forget the past but never forget what the past taught you!"
