To Infinity and Beyond: Arkansas

Here I Am, Once Again

Hello everybody! Now I know what you’re thinking... “What in the world has Cheyenne been up to?” I'll tell you exactly what I’ve been up to…College. A lot of crazy things have happened ever since I moved to Arkansas. I've made a lot of friends, some who I've gotten very close to over the course of this semester. But I have also lost a lot of friends who I thought would stick with me till the end. I will admit it is upsetting to look back at past friendships and wonder what had went wrong. But when your someone who loves people as much as me, you're bound to make plenty more friends. The motto I try to live by in situations like that is "You gain some, You lose some". I am very thankful for the friends that I have now, and I hope our friendships will thrive for years to come.

Ever since moving here, I feel as if I've evolved as a person. I'm more outgoing than I ever was(although not as outspoken as I want), and it can only get better from here. One thing that I think would be hard for me to overcome is my tendency to procrastinate. I know I shouldn't do it, but I just can't help it. What can I say? I'm the procrastination queen.

As you know, or may not know, I'm in school to become an interior designer. And one of my required major based classes is studio. I will let you all know right now, I can't tell you how many times I have actually contemplated quitting design school because of studio. But no matter how hard, tedious, and stressful it gets, I could never quit. I don’t know what else I would do with my life beside design. A handful of people did actually quit studio though, but hey, you do you. Everything we do in studio, I know it is to help us in the long run.

....................................

Now on to the interesting parts of life. I've been trying to get back into the swing of blogging again because I really do love it, but because I've been so busy with school, it always seems to leave my mind. But if I want to fulfill my dreams of becoming a professional blogger, I need to step up my game. You guys have to step up your game too. I always want to hear from the people who read my blog. I encourage you to comment or ask me questions on my social media because I would love to talk to you guys. My time will come eventually and the comments and questions will slowly start rolling in.

The end of the year is slowly creeping up and that means holiday plans. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Christmas is a holler away. Being away in college, you always hope the holidays would come sooner so you could spend time with your family. Especially with mine living all the way at the bottom of Texas, Houston to be precise, I don't see them very much at all. Come to think of it, I haven't seen them since they dropped me off at college in August. I am very close to my family, so being this far away from them for this long, it gets me sometimes. Just the thought of getting to see them for the holidays makes me want to cry a river.

What are your plans for the upcoming holidays?

Music

My Life II by SoMo

I've been a big fan of SoMo for a few years and ever since his album SoMo, I've been craving his voice and for him to put out more music. He released this album in September, and I'm not lying when I saw I've listened to it on repeat. His music always seems to put me in a good mood and you can't go wrong with SoMo. My favorites on the album are "You Can Buy Everything", "Hide and Freak", "Why Wait", and "Make Up Sex". I would 100% recommend this album to anyone.

Outlaws by Alessia Cara

Cry Baby by Melanie Martinez

I've known Melanie Martinez ever since she appeared on The Voice. Her voice is so unique and she is insanely talented. This album perfectly represents her image and personality. My absolute favorite songs on this album are "Soap", "Pity Party", "Mrs Potato Head", and "Sippy Cup".

Sorry by Justin Bieber

This song has such a good beat and it just makes me want to dance. As I listen to the song, I can't help but think its about Selena Gomez. It makes sense, right? But regardless of who its about, it's an amazing song.

One Time by Marian Hill

Get Weird by Little Mix

The album that every Mixer has been waiting for. Every album they release, they evolve with even better music than the last one. This album is a mixture of different genres of music from every era. My favorite songs on this album are "Grown", "Lightening", "Hair", "I Won't", and "Secret Love Song". Basically the whole album is amazing. It's hard to choose just one favorite.

Perfect by One Direction

I've been a 1D fan since the beginning of time. When Perfect came out, I kind of put off listening to it because I knew I wasn't going to be prepared. But it came on Spotify and I was listening to it without knowing. As it was playing, I was like "This song is the cutest ever". When I saw what song it was, I was like :O

If your'e looking to catch all kinds of warm, cute feels, this is the perfect song (see what I did there?)

.............................................................

I hope you all are having a good November so far, and I hope you have a good week this week!

c'est la vie

PSA: I got my septum pierced a few days ago! Yes, it hurt like hell but it was so worth it. I'm in love with it and I've gotten so many compliments on it. I've got some new-found confidence with this new piercing. If you want to see yours truly and her new piercing, give my Instagram page a little peek @sillychey97

5 Seconds of Summer

July Favorites

Hello everybody! It has finally reached the end of the month so you know what that means...School starts in a few weeks! Now most of you who are still in high school are probably like 'ugh school, don't remind me'. Now as for me, an incoming freshman to college, I am ready to go! My move-in day is on the 15th and I cannot be more excited! I think I can vouch for the rest of the incoming freshman at my college :D I've been packing my life away for the past few weeks and just cleaning out every drawer and crevice of my room.

My closet is actually very close to being empty, minus a few shirts, shoes and miscellaneous items.

For a couple days, I've been nonstop watching dorm hauls and tours to further prepare myself although I'm pretty sure I'm more prepared than ever. The color scheme of my room is going to be grey, white, and turquoise/aqua. I'm really excited about getting to decorate my room the way I want it to look. I've also met my roommate a few days ago. She seems really nice too, which is a plus. I would hate to be pitch perfect'd (if you know what I mean lol). One thing that's weird about the whole thing is that she's a sophomore, which startled me. First off, I didn't even know upperclassmen can room with freshman. But hey, anything can happen I guess. I hope we become good friends.

. . .

As I've said before, we have reached the end on July, which means it's time for my July favorites. I'm not sure if I've done a monthly faves post before, but here we go. Lets see if I can do this at the end of every month.

Music

She's Kinda Hot - 5 Seconds of Summer's new single. I've literally been playing this song on repeat because it's so good. I am definitely ready for their album. And in case you didn't know, I am a HUGE 5SOS fan. Huge...And I'm also a Luke girl, but I tend to swerve into Michael's lane from time to time.

Title - Meghan Trainor's album. I am not lying when I tell you that every song on this album is worth listening to. My absolute favorites on the album are Bang Dem Sticks, What If I, Credit and Walkashame. If you have not taken the time to listen to her whole album, what are you waiting for? I'm literally in love with it.

Hallelujah - Panic! At The Disco's most recent single. I could play that song forever. When I first saw that they came out with a song, I was a little apprehensive. I actually didn't really like the song at first. But it grew on me, big time. I've been playing it back to back for a couple of days now and it's still amazing.

If you're wondering why my favorites is only music(which you're probably not), it's because I haven't done anything this month but listen to music. I think once I get back in gear with an active life, I'll have a more broader selection of favorites :) But other than that, this is what I've been listening to. If you love these songs too, yay! If I have opened your eyes to wonderful music, welcome aboard lol

I hope you have a great day and happy ALMOST August!

c'est la vie

xoxo

Opportunity Is Knocking

Hello my lovelies! Now I know what you are all saying: "OMG Cheyenne! Where have you been? I've missed you!" And the answer to that is: I've just been everywhere. I've been taking care of myself and dealing with things I needed to do. I have officially graduated from high school and now I am on the path to college. If you've been with me from the beginning, you'd that I've been waiting for this moment since I entered high school. The Freedom, the parties, new friends, and an exciting 4 year journey. Sure, college is hard work and you have to work hard to pass. But I am ready for the challenge. Sometimes I like to push myself and others to do good for themselves.

Sometimes I do have that nagging worry in the back of mind as to whether I'm going to do good in college and have decent grades and just get through successfully. But then I run through my mind that God won't give me anything I can't handle. If I've made this far in my life, I can make it even further.

I can happily say that I am not going to be going on this long journey alone. In a short period of time, I have made 2 amazing friends and I can honestly say that I already love them to death. I feel like this friendship was a God-made friendship because we fit so perfectly together. One of the many things that we bond over is travel. As you know, my love for travel is eternal. After my month long embark around Europe, traveling and seeing new territories has always held a place in my heart, and now I have two beautiful people to share my love for travel with. Going to college won't be so bad and nerve wracking after all.

By the time some of you read this(depending on where you are), I will be on the road to my future. The university is holding a student orientation(duh) and I cannot tell you how excited I am for it. I have been waiting for this day ever since I signed up for it(eager, I know).

For those of you who are now seniors in high school, I have a little advice for you: Opportunity is knocking. Whether you know where you want to go for college or you don't know at all, whatever decision you make will be a good one. And hey, if it's not, you can learn from it. I can honestly say that I am actually thankful that I didn't get accepted to The University of Tennessee. If I did, I wouldn't have met the amazing people I've met. So I just want to give thanks to God. Yes, I was very upset that I hadn't gotten into UTK at first. But really, it was just God saying that he had bigger and better things planned for me, and he was right. I bet UTK is looking at me now like 'Man, I wish we accepted her. She's so cool'. But it's too late now *insert laughter here* #woopigsooie

Lastly, I just want to thank all you readers for going on this(very staggered)journey with me and staying with me even though I don't update as often. And I recommend you follow my amazingly beautiful friends on their blogs. They are just starting out but I can honestly say that they are absolutely amazing writers!

Opportunity Knocks

by: Michael D. Nalley

Opportunities often knock at our door
Those we have to choose to accept or ignore
It is sometimes a shame we don't unlock
The door even when we hear the knock

Opportunity may be a road full of rocks
Life is a journey filled with hard knocks
One road may be right, the other wrong
One road may be short, the other long

Many times we wish we could turn back the clock
To a time that we heard a good opportunity knock
It has been said time and tide wait for no man
For goodness sake we must come up with a plan

The world is a diverse place of cold reality, and warm romance
Where the merciful Lord often offers more than one chance
The wise will learn from the hard knocks to avoid the dangerous rocks
Time will tell who has fell and got back up when opportunity knocks
