This post is untitled. It's untitled because I don't really know what to call it. Many of the posts I do on here are usually videos or pictures but minus 'The Word of the Day' posts that I do, I rarely write on here. I wanted to talk about perseverance and how important it is to never give up on what you dream on doing. The sky is the limit. I'm not trying to sell you some kind of "EMPOWER YOUR LIFE" type message; just being real. This time last year I had no idea of what I was capable of. I knew nothing, was naive, and was more excited about starting college for the first time to be thinking ahead in terms of a year from then. All I wanted was to taste freedom and get as far away from my house as humanly possible. I had no idea of the connects I would make, the people I would meet, and the important life lessons that I learned through experience. The amount of motivation and drive you have plays a big part in the success and fail of what you set out to do. Some things I never thought I would be ready for I now found myself a master of, while other things I'm still gonna have to work on. People that were with me in the beginning are no longer there, but were replaced with folks that were better than their predecessors. If you've read this far, it may sound like I'm a senior about to graduate from college; but I'm only a rising sophomore. THIS is my proof of me becoming a polished diamond once my time here at Georgia State is up: within a year's time, I've learned more things about myself than I could ever to have hoped to imagine. I can see that 3 more years of life changing experiences will shape me for the REAL real world; called "Life After College."

...And the name of Nicki Minaj's new album is...'Pink Friday' ::: RELEASE DATE: 11-23-10.



Nicki Minaj:

"It's been very exciting to finally just make music that I love and not really having to incorporate myself on someone else's record, I've been having a really great time."

"I have a record called 'Right Through Me' that I think will be a standout, It's not gonna come right now. It'll come closer to when the album drops, but it's a really, really pretty song. Everyone's gonna like it. It's just really insightful but in a very conversational kind of way."

"[A good album cover is] something that tells your own personal truth, something that's not just trying to catch someone's attention, but rather ... kind of feels like a part of your soul, a part of your creative expression."

The Word of the Day...



The Word of the Day is....VANITY.

  • excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others.
  • In many religions vanity, in its modern sense, is considered a form of self-idolatry

In my eyes, this is one of the most disgusting and unattractive habits to have. Being vain irritates me to the point of bringing out the violence within me. I hate when someone takes self-confidence to the extreme and truly believes that everyone loves them or everyone wants to be them. Vanity is only a sign of a more serious issue of low self-esteem. Those that are vain require people to compliment them frequently and compare them to the rest. Telling a vain person they are ugly has the same effect of telling an anorexic that they are fat. Psychologically, they NEED to know they are the best looking, have the best talent, and can do it better than everybody else. It's a sickness that can consume its host.
