It seems like my post are annually now, but it's not as negative as you may think. I'm 21!!!!Whoop Whoop. Maybe I should have posted something on my birthday, but to be completely honest living in New York City, 21 just means drinks and parties on the regular. But I was going to celebrity parties before my 21st. This year,I really can't remember what was so bold and out standing. Well....I did have plenty of prominent people check out my LinkedIn (I had a mini party in my head lol). I turned 21, and school, school, and I can't stress enough school. Oh, and my beautiful niece was born this year. My close friend also had a baby girl, and both her and my niece have the same nick name, Mimi.
So I usually say what I would hope for next year. But every time I do that, it gets thrown right back in my face. So I'm just going to wait and see what 2015 have to offer me. This feeling reminds me of 2012, going on to 2013. I didn't expect much from 2013, but the year was great! Sorry 2015, I believe you will be great too. 2014 had a lot of stressful moments, but those moments are necessary for me to grow.
Unfortunately, cancer came back this year. I have to be truthful. And I'm seriously ready to say good ridding to it.
For the sake of school, I had to down size my work days. So it was hard for me to manage my spending and ego, because I was making a crap load of money. Duh! But I'm some what better at saving.
I'm putting my application in to Queens College Speech Pathology program this upcoming Monday for the 3rd time! Hopefully it wont be a problem.
However I got accepted to New Paltz, so that's my plan "B"
I didn't do an internship this year, but my story landed on the front page of Queens College News Paper because I covered CUNY'S first Tedex Talk! and it featured interactive art on hand by simply scanning the news paper!

It's been exactly one years since I've written a post about fashion or the advancements in my life. All is well right now, and I have to say 2013 was great to me. I can break it down into bullets, or ramble on and on since the beginning of the 2013.
2013 In A NutShell:
For One My Mother is cured from cancer
This is the year where I have so much more and no money lol (I'll explain further below)
I got accepted into amazing schools, but isn't going (NEW YORK, NEW YORK Baby I'm still here)
I've created a Tumblr, and an Instagram (I thought I would never conform, but I'm a journalist; we always have to try new things).
I've lost some weight (about 10-12 pounds)
I will Share the most memorable pictures of 2013 with everyone!
First Let Me Go into Depth of What I've Mentioned at the Top
Last year I've mention my mother was diagnosed with cancer. The chemo-therapy, and radiation was brutal on her body (inside). But physically my mother was gorgeous all the way through, she did not show any signs of sickness (except for her hair). Her sickness brought out the best and worst of people. My family ,both blood related and family-friends were amazing. My mom was made fresh cooked food weekly. My neighbors of course was, and still is an amazing factor in helping my mother in anything. Right now my mother's car is broken, she's been taking public transportation for sometime now. But my neighbor Peter has seen her car sitting there, and he decided to fix it for her with no form of payment. Amazing Soul!
Mom's Last Day of Chemo
I just got an amazing job, that pays more! Yesterday! Seems like I'm moving into the New Year with a great start. My journalism career is moving forward nicely. But in the beginning of Spring 2013, my friend at York College gave me the opportunity to write for Cherry Martinez's website from Power 105.1. It's one of the leading stations of New York City. Of course I've taken it, and it was amazing. I briefly interviewed the Dream at the apple store. Covered events like Wale's album release party, and stood face to face with Kevin Durant (even though he played me...). It was a swell time for me.

I've also had my first article published in print, and became a Radio Talk Show Co-Host for YC Radio InCheck Urban! Mind you I was broke this whole time,but I have to say I put so much work into my career and gained so much experience. I didn't feel broke.

I got accepted to University at Buffalo, and Cortland University. But I'm Staying home! At first I didn't want to, but for some reason I feel as though I'll be missing out on something if I leave.
Follow me on Tumblre at http://itsjonotjane.tumblr.com/ , it's more images of Plus-Size fashion and All Types of Fashion. Also follow me on Istagram @ Itsjo_Notjane . Also follow my blog right here on blogspot, this is where I'll be doing most of my reviews and in depth fashion post about different clothing.
I've also kept my 2013 resolution, I lost weight! Not a whole load, but enough for my clothes to no longer fit me properly. I want to lose me, but I'll just do. I've also made amazing friends, and they just keep growing and growing! I love meeting new people now. Since I'm older, it's good to meet mature minded people like you.

Lovely Night
I did this design before the breast cancer walk. Mouths later I found out my Mom had type two breast cancer. I was shock,confused,and most of all devastated. I cried so much, this is the main reason why I'll never forget this year. But we'll fight it off. I also grew into the habit of expressing my feelings to her,and saying "I love you". Its necessary,you most appreciate everyone in your live,and never miss a chance to say how much you care for them.
HappyNewYear World!
Be Happy
Fight Less Love More ☮♥and Rocket Ships P.S: 2013 Is 30 MINUTES AWAY! =D
