Hello everyone and happy New Year! Can you believe it? You know I have never really liked the number 17 or 7. They have always seems very mysterious and kind of evil to me. I have no idea why. It is my friends favroite number (she is kind of mysterious and kind of evil though so). That is the complete opposite about what I feel like this year will be though. After last year (which I will get into later) I feel like 2017 will just be better, calmer, and maybe less people will die. It is like a feeling. That I have. I have lots of feelings. But I mean congrats! If you are reading this and alive (I am assuming that you are alive if you can read, unless you are some sort of vampire like creature which in that case awesome) then you have already gotten a couple days into this year. That is a pretty big accomplishment. Anyway I have decided to put all of my thoughts and goals and everything like that into this post. I hope you enjoy!
2016 highlights
-I finished elementary school. You know the first school that I ever went to. I actually graduated. Kind of scary. The last day was very bittersweet for me.
-And on that note I started middle school. The school that makes me like a teen (or tween as I call myself because I am not technically a teen yet ). It was pretty scary. But I did it and I haven't died yet! I did a post about my experience here.
-I actually really really got into blogging. Before 2016 all of my posts were either bad or not trying that hard or just not really that professional. I mean my 2015 were pretty good but not like the best. I would say I started being more amazing at this post.
-I got over 60 followers on my blog! Isn't that awesome! That means that 60 people wanted to read my posts and that they cared enough to click a button. It personally made me pretty happy.
-I got a phone!!! Yes after my many many naggings and whole post about it I finally got a phone. It is so pretty and I am kind of in love with it.
This is my case. It is a butterfly princess holding up the majestic apple (I got an iphone 6s) .
-There was an election that I could actually understand (all of the other times I have been too young). It was very interesting to say the least. I did a post on the election here.
-I turned 12! Yep. I am 12 now (I have to update my about page). You can find my birthday haul post here.
-I went to my first school dance. Yes they have dances at the middle school that I go to. It was for homecoming and I had a lot of fun. I wore heels and a dress and hung out with all of my friends.
-*inserts more stuff that I can't remember at the moment*
Things I learned in 2016
-If the rest of the world seems to be going backwards then you have to take a stand and actually do something about it
-My mom is an absolutelly amazing person. Yes I did already relize this but not truly untill this year. She does stuff and has a business and an opinion and great fashion taste. Basically what I want to be. I love her so much.
-I am a kind of mean/shy person. Yes I do relize that those 2 adjectives should not go together but it is true. I have noticed over this year just how kind of bossy and a little rude I am in real life when I am not meaning too. And then I have also realized how shy I am online. I get really really scared that I will say something wrong that will upset you guys or that will make you guys not like me.
-I think way too much and I really like attention. Like seriously once a topic goes into my mind I will analyze every single thing untill I confuse myself. Can't decide if this is a bad or good thing. And then I also really like attention. Whenever a teacher or really anyone says my name and then something good about me it makes me kind of weirdly happy.

2. Photo-shoot
This is the friend that I was talking about.
So I am getting from this that you guys like hauls, fashion photo-shoots, election things, and fun performances.
My 2017 blog plan
I am still not truly sure where I am trying to go with my blog. If I am going to try to make money or anything like that. Here are some things I have decided though that I will try to do.
-I will be posting at least 3-4 times a month with good posts. This mean I will be posting once or every other week. In the past I have done posts like everyday but with middle school starting I have had less time and also my dad has decided to limit my computer time by like a lot. But this also hopefully means that my post will be better because I will be working on it for a week or so.
-My posts will be lots of pictures, hauls, tips, essentials, ideas, and just general fun. This year one of my blogging goals is to be at least a tiny bit more professional. I love my blog to death but sometimes I relize my posts or my layout isn't actually that amazing. I am going to try to work on that.
-If I can get on a scedule scedule then I will be posting every 5 days.
