Click here  to watch my CCR

We have reached the end! Today is the day my project is due and I cannot be more excited about the final product, as well has the stress being over with! So in light of this I thought id share some before and after pictures from my two page spread. Also the pictures with the sorority girls, and my sister are on social media. I did take all the pictures but the girls in the pictures insisted on having them for their Instagram pages, and since I didn't pay they and they graciously agreed to help me out, I sent them. Hopefully this won't be a problem.

I'm almost done with my text portion of my two page layout. It's a bittersweet feeling knowing that the process is almost over. It's relieving to be done, but sort of upsetting. Though I'm not finished yet, its crazy how a couple days ago I was stressing out so much about the last minute major changes I was making, and now I'm nearly done. All I have left is to take a few pictures because when I changed my topic, I had to change the pictures I had previously planned to use to go along with my old topic. I plan to take the pictures this upcoming week and add them to both my blog and my two page layout this week. I want to start practicing my CCR and making my speech because I know myself, and I know for a fact i am going to stutter, laugh, and mess up at least 30 times. SO I plan to prepare myself and try to sort of memorize what imm going to say so I can make sense of it and hopefully deliver my thoughts clearing. We've watched some CCR's in class, som

So I did a crazy thing today. I completely changed my two page layout topic to something i found one more relatable to women and easier for me to write about. I changed it to a sort of self love theme because especially now, with everything going on in the world, women empowerment and love is so crucial to all women all around the world. I focused my topic on women feeling smart sexy and confident on Valentine's Day, whether with a partner or not, feel good is so important. I used different fonts for all the adjectives because in my opinion, they all portray a different type of vibe. That may sound weird but I felt as if the word sexy just belonged in red script. Below I will attach a photo of my spread thus far with all the changes I've made. 

Today my teacher set up stations again and the class underwent our final feedback session. I derive so many useful tips and ideas from these little meet ups, and it really helps me fine tune my magazine, also it gives me something to blog about. My table and i discussed my two page layout topic and how it is a little bland. I didn't realize it at first, but once brought to my attention, the idea was flat. I mean really who wants to read about Galentine's Day anyway. So now I'm left pondering the thought of what to change it to. I wish I would've realized sooner, that my topic was boring because now I'm feeling little stressed knowing have little over a week to complete my magazine and my CCR, but stressing is only going to make things worse for me so I'm trying my best to stay calm and just power through. The only major problem I'm facing right now is that I have no idea to write but now. Ive had I'm my head so long that I'm doing Galentine'

Ok so I'm not really sure how this happened, but my blog posts got messed up and I'm one post short. I should have 18 postings but i only have 17. I'm not sure how this happened considering I'm on the ball when it comes to my posts. I wanted to fix it but I'm not even sure where it all went wrong. So as an alternative I'm going to make 4 posts this week to ensure i reach my quota. Since we are in the home stretch my blog posts are becoming shorter and shorter because I'm making less crucial decisions and I'm not making many changes.
