I remember this time last year, I thought I was sooo old because I’d finished my freshman year of college. It had been a very eventful year of firsts in virtually every aspect of my life and I couldn’t believe that it was already over. Now, here I am again. On Friday, my dad will pick me up from my school and he will take me home for the summer. I will officially be a junior in college, meaning that my college career will officially be halfway done. And once again, I feel like time has flown by. Once again, I have changed over this year in ways that, as a high school senior, I would never have imagined. I love the person who I’ve become. I can honestly say that I have a wonderful life and I’m so thankful for it. I can’t wait to see what next year will bring <3

If you don’t think that this girl is beautiful, there’s something wrong with you! 

Oh, and I wish I had her hair. Boo.

“To be “pro-life” means:

1. loving and caring for your bodily health and the health of the planet that nourishes it
2. loving and caring for play, that up-rush of life that we share with the higher animals but not with the lower (that’s why we play with dogs, not with worms)
3. loving and caring for other human biological lives, not killing them by abortion, euthanasia, suicide, or starting wars
4. loving and caring for other human psychological and spiritual lives as you care for your own, loving others as you love yourself
5. loving the moral law that tells you how to do that
6. knowing and loving nature and the nature of everything: man, woman, animals, God, and even sister death; not acting against their natures but “painting with the grain”
7. loving the source and inventor of all life wherever He comes to you: in nature, in conscience, in the Bible, in the Mass, in children, everywhere, even in death.

See? Being ‘pro-life’ is bigger than #3 alone.”

-Dr. Peter Kreeft, philosophy professor at Boston University

Okay, tumblr followers. I am officially conflicted. 

So here’s the deal. One of the alum from my sorority (ΣΣΣ, in case that isn’t already made abundantly clear <3) is a sales representative for Mary Kay. Her name is Vicki, and she did a make over party for my chapter’s current members back in December and ever since, she’s been trying to get me to sell Mary Kay. At first I was like, “Mm… maybe in a couple years.” But lately, I’ve been really considering starting soon. It’s $100 to start, but with that first investment you can make up to like $400, not counting online sales and orders from parties. Vicki’s boss, Michelle, told me that if I start Mary Kay in May, I have the potential to make a couple thousand dollars just in the 3 months that I would be home. It’s an opportunity that I honestly cannot pass up. 

But here’s the thing. I am not a salesperson. I can’t even do fundraisers - I hate begging for money. So I’m really afraid that I’ll spend $100 and never see a single penny of that ever again, and I really cannot afford to do that. 

Ughh. No idea what to do here. Anyone have any advice?
