College and P!nk

It's been a while since I've graced y'all with a post, so I figured I'd do that today. So here goes.

Well, it's finally here.

The beginning of the end. Or in other words: Senior Year.

I can hardly believe these are my last high-school semesters. The last of my official "childhood" years. Craziness.

Being a senior, college has been on my mind a lot lately. I guess I've always just assumed that I would go to BYU-I, meet a handsome strange (who is also a return-missionary cowboy), get married and live happily-ever-after. However, the closer I actually get to college deadlines and such, I'm kinda debating said plan. Or at least, just the very first part.

Though originally there were several colleges I think would be great to go to, I've narrowed it down to two options.
-BYU-Idaho
-Texas A&M

Academically, it should be no big deal getting into either. Financially... well, BYU-I might be more realistic. I dunno. I'll get back to you on this at a later date.

Anyway, so moving on... I just thought I would let everyone know, I have a new "hero". Or basically just someone that in my book, is amazing. Generally, I don't include celebrities under this category, because yeah, they're famous and talented, but not a whole lot to look up to. However, I have made an exception this one time for... P!nk.

Now, hold onto your ponies, I know what you're thinking. P!nk? Mhm. Well, I'm about to tell you why.

The other day I was at the gym doing what I usually do at the gym along with watching T.V. And while I was clicking through the channels, I noticed that there was a talk show on featuring P!nk, so I watched it for a while. At this one point, the show host congratulated P!nk for becoming a "Covergirl", which, in their world, is something of an accomplishment. Well, then she talked a little bit about how in the past P!nk had been told that she wasn't "pretty enough" to be a Covergirl. I just about threw something at the screen. But I was still at the gym and there was nothing to throw.

Don't tell me, that P!nk is not "pretty". This world's standards have officially hit an all time low.

We are constantly comparing ourselves and others to the world's standard of beautiful, which, in reality, doesn't even exist.

I could go on forever about this, but I'm not going to. I'll sum it up.

P!nk is pretty.

You are pretty and I am pretty.

We all just need to get over what the media's trying to convince us of.

That is all. Goodnight!
