Frisky Fridays #1

    A new segment I’d like to try on here is Frisky Friday’s. Basically it’ll just be me talking about all things pop culture, and boys, and RANDOM, and life, and boys... See a pattern? Just kidding, I’m not boy crazy per say, I mean I like boys just as much as the next girl.  So enough rambling, let’s get into today’s post.
   
    Today we have our first PERSON OF THE WEEK! The way that I choose this person, it’s just someone who captured my attention this week.
 
  Our person this week is: MEGHAN (ROSETTE) RIENKS

She is a phenomenal Youtuber. She puts so much effort into her work, and she really cares about her subscribers. I have been watching her for a few years and I have seen her grow into a wonderful role model. She also inspires me to be better at what I do. No  matter what it is. She’s inspired me to always give 100%. So thanks Meghan for being an inspiration to all of your fans!

New Year's Resolution?



Now that it is officially 2015, I’ve been trying to find something that I want to focus on this year. Something that I will put majority of my time and effort into.  Something that will allow me to become a better person. Something that I will look back on a year from now and say “Whoa, I am a different person because of that”. After searching long and hard, I finally found it. Thankfulness. Now I am not saying that I am some rude, snobby, prissy girl , I’m just an average teenager. But I want to be better. I don’t want to be average. I don’t want this year to end like all of the other ones. One where it wasn’t a bad year, but at the same time it wasn’t the best year of my life. I want to go to sleep on December 31, 2015 thinking that I don’t want this year to end. Thinking that I want to relive all of my great memories. For some weird reason under this golden sun, I believe that a spirit of thankfulness will help me get there. And on the 50/50 chance that this year does end up sucking, I want to be able to say that I’ve grown.
                How? How am I going to do this? How am I going to develop a greater spirit of thankfulness? I’ve come up with a few.

1. Say Thank You Whenever You Can 
·         Someone holds the door for you
·         Someone says God Bless You when you sneeze
·         Someone compliments you
·         Someone is rude to you
2. Help Out When You Can
·         Just by offering a simple hand, you can restore someone’s faith in mankind
3. Give Praise More Often
·         A simple “Good Job” can do more for someone than you think, do this more often and you can help someone believe in themselves
4. Correctly Criticize
·         By telling someone else where they can do better in an area in their life, you can help them become a better them

                While these 4 reasons don’t all directly show thankfulness, if you look closely, you can see how by helping, encouraging, and bettering others it will teach you how to be more thankful for the people and things around you that allow you to express yourself and allow you to help them. Some people are not going to want your help and that’s okay, as long as you attempted. Don’t throw in the towel at half time.
I also want us take on a challenge together. Each week, I want us to tweet something that we are thankful for with the hashtag #TLThanfulFor. I will be commenting and retweeting all of the ones I see.
