So...today is "Love Wednesday"!! Yay!! One thing that I have been obsessively loving for quite a while now, is Starkid's fantastic musicals, A Very Potter Musical, A Very Potter Sequel, Me and My Dick and their amazing webshow, Little White Lie!!! Starkid rules!!
Starkid is an amazingly talented group of actors and singers who have created four original musicals featuring songs they wrote themselves (their newest one, Starship, is coming out soon, I can't wait!). They also feature the amazing talents of Darren Criss, who plays Blaine on Glee, who writes a lot of their songs and he is also in most of them. I could watch all of these shows a million times and I still wouldn't be bored of them, they're that great!! I highly recommend watching them yourself.

So....I have some news! I have decided that from now on, every Monday will now be "Music Mondays". So, like yesterday, I will feature a different artist that I enjoy, and maybe some Mondays I will feature music that I don't like, who knows? I am pretty excited about this!! It will be lots of fun. I have also come up with some other themes for other days of the week as well. Tuesdays will now be "Trendy Tuesdays", where I show you all of the fashion trends I am loving right now. Wednesdays will be "Love Wednesdays", where I will be telling you about what I am loving on that Wednesday. Thursdays will be "Lyric Thursdays", where I will post the lyrics of a great song and write about what I like about them. Fridays will be "Beautiful Fridays", where I will show you something or somethings that are beautiful, to brighten your mood for the weekend. Saturdays will be called "Writing Saturdays", which is the most personal day of the week because I will post some of my writing; a short story or poem for you to read. And Sundays will be my "Me Day", where I tell you more about myself and my life!
So, since today is Tuesday, I will tell you about my favourite trend of all time!
CONVERSE!!!!
Converse are the most amazing trend of shoes, I am in love with them!!
I own seven different pairs of Converse, which makes me very proud! I have a neon pink, green and orange pair; a pink, black, and white plaid pair; a lime green pair; a black pair with purpley laces; a pair of multiple different blues with green laces; a light purple pair and a red pair. I hope to get even more, like a yellow pair, a sparkly turquoise pair and more!
The best thing about Converse is that you can wear them with anything (I even wore a pair with my dress to semi formal at my school) and there are so many different pairs and kinds of Converse that anyone can be content wearing them. To learn more about Converse go here : http://www.converse.com/
On that website you can look at lots of different Converse and you can even design your own!!
Have fun with your Converse and enjoy your stress-free life!!

Sooo.....today I am working on my music biography on a jazz musician. Of course, I am doing the extremely talented and wonderful Michael Bublé....LOVE HIM!!!!! Michael Bublé has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard! He is amazing and his songs absolutely beautiful!
I love listening to his music, and his music videos are amazing. Also, one thing that will make me admire any artist is the fact that he doesn't use autotune to change his voice, because anyone who does that is obviously not confident in their abilities, and I lose all respect for them.
Okay, so here are plenty of Michael Bublé videos, no need to watch them all, I just wanted to post them so that you could all experience what is feels like to listen to true music. Next time, I will show you the amazing musical stylings of the greatest band of all time, The Beatles!
I hope that you have all realized from this what music should be like and how the music industry of today will pretty much give anyone a record deal, even if they have no talent, because of autotune. But, everyone can tell when autotune is used, so the smart people will know what to listen to and Michael Bublé is a great choice for anyone; young or old, it doesn't matter.

So.....as you have probably noticed, I haven't posted anything in a while. Well, now I will. So, not much has been going on lately except for the fact that I have lots and lots of homework.
That is one thing that keeps me very busy. I also have to balance that with my social life and synchronized swimming, which is a sport that I do. I love synchro so much, it is the most amazing, beautiful and difficult sport in the world. There are so many different elements involved in this sport that you need to think about at all times, which is a lot for your brain and it is extremely physically exhausting. It is amazing to watch, though, but almost nobody has ever heard of it, so it is extremely underrated.
Here are some videos to show you what it is...This first one is a slower routine, with some solos in it but it is absolutely amazing! There are some other different style routines here, I hope you enjoy watching them!
So, in case you haven't already figured it out from watching these videos, synchronized swimming is an extremely challenging and difficult sport to do.
I swim very often, most days of the week, and on my Sundays, I spend 7 hours (almost my entire day) at the pool for swimming team, duet and for coaching. I would never in a million years quit, though, because it is the most amazing sport ever and it makes me feel great doing it!
Because I have to balance all of that, and my social life and keeping my above 90 average (I am hoping to win the Top French Immersion Student award at my school, which means I need to have the highest average of all the French Immersion Students), this causes me to be very stressed out. I recently read a book about how to stay stress-free, and it said that it would help to write in a journal or blog to talk about your thoughts so that's what I will do from now on. It's not like anyone will likely read this anyways, it's just a way for me to release all of my thoughts.
So, I hope you enjoyed today's post and my videos, enjoy your own stress-free life and have a great day! :)
