So You Think You Can Dance Favorites

I will admit, I don't follow SYTYCD religiously, but I do enjoy watching all the performances later on. These are some of my faves. 

An Underrated Artist - Scott & Brendo

Scott & Brendo - Synthia

I first found Scott & Brendo from another video, and I instantly loved them. All of their music is very feel-good, and there isn't one song of theirs that I don't like. Check them out if you're in the mood to be in a good mood.

Transition

This post is entirely inspired by my best friend. She recently sent me an article that had to do with making the change from high school to college. It focuses on cherishing the last few moments you have before you're at college on your own, and once you are at college, to cherish every moment you have there. As somebody who has just graduated high school and is about to make this change next month, I found this article really intriguing. High school was high school; with it came new friends, knowledge (both school related and not), and drama. It was absolutely nothing like the movies, but it was great. However, after graduation I was basically ecstatic.

The article (written by Bari Cutler) talks about the major changes in friendships that will be occurring in these next few months. Cutler says "The realest of friendships are the ones you don't have to maintain daily, but can always pick up right where you left off the next time you get together again". This is one of my favorite quotes from the whole article, simply because it is entirely true. Going a long time without seeing your best friend can either make or break the relationship, and it's completely up to you to decide which it will do. Distance is sometimes the best thing for a relationship (whether it be family, friend, or more than that). Because you're going so long without seeing them, you're realizing just how much of an effect they had on your life, and you're learning to really appreciate them. That way, when you do happen to see them again, you can completely relish in the fact that you've got a really strong relationship going on.

I see college as a totally new adventure that I cannot wait to start. Reading this article only made me more excited to start this new life, but it also helped me to think about slowing down and appreciating the transition zone I am in right now. It's important to sometimes stop thinking so much about the future, and start focusing on what's going on in the present, because soon this moment will simply be a memory of the past.

An Underrated Artist - Travis Garland

Travis Garland - Chariots of Fire

I've found that a lot of artists are completely underrated, so I'd like to recognize some of them. Travis Garland has a really unique sound, and you could compare him at times to Justin Timberlake. He's definitely got talent, and he's one of my new favorites!

World's Largest Rope Swing

A man-made rope swing in Moab, Utah. My brother showed me this video a while ago, and I've become obsessed. This is definitely on the bucket list! (Song: Up and Away - Can't Stop Won't Stop)

What even is a blog?

I'm new here.

I've never blogged before (aside from a requirement for an English class), so I'm not really sure what I'm doing here. From what I've gathered, blogging is basically posting whatever you feel like posting. I think it's almost like Twitter (but better), in that you're kind of just talking to yourself. Which works, because I tend to talk to myself a lot. For me, LifeNote will be a blog that I can use whenever I need an outlet. It's probably going to contain a lot of music, travel destinations, items from my bucket list, and just everyday thoughts. As far as the name, I think of it as a term that surrounds everything that will be covered on this blog. The blog will have to do with not only my life, but yours; just several notes on an average person's life. So, I really don't know what I'm doing as far as blogging, but check it out nonetheless and give it a chance! I won't judge you if you don't judge me. I hope that LifeNote will inspire someone, somewhere, to start their own blog for the same reasons that I did.
