Hello everyone,
Man it has been a LONG time! I missed you all!!! Well I would to start by giving you an update on my life. I'm close to fininshing my bachelor degree in Biology and I've been applying to pharmacy schools. But recently I have been feeling regrets of not reaching my potential.
I know right now you are probably wondering what am I talking about. Well some of you know that I have a passion for hair. I have always wanted to go to cosmetology but I wasn't given the opportunity to go. Now that I am finishing my degree and transitioning into graduate school. Why not go?
I know people look at me why would wanna do that. I always answer, because it makes me happy. Everytime I tell people what my plans are, they always ask me, so how are you gonna pay for that? Usually this question gives me a slap of reality and I usually answer I don't know. But I won't let money get in the way of my dreams. So I decided that I should run a fundraiser, hence the title Cookies4College.
So this is how the fundraiser works, I have set up an account with Gofundme here is the linkcookies4college. Where people can make donations for excellent reward list on the site. But the biggest reward is to see your favorite blogger live out her dreams and help others.Rougly cosmetology school cost 9,000 dollars but 3,000 is enough for me to start. This will cover the price of my hair kit, books and tuition and my hair portfolio. You can trust your dollar will be put to good use.
I ask of you to please help in anyway you can whether it be a donation for my cause or to share this information with everyone in your network. And God will truely bless you

My black girl hair problems
Hey its me again! I decided to take a break from finals and vent. Well recently i decided to go natural. To be precise it was on 09-29-2011. Now the term going natural varies from person to person. But to me going natural means allowing your hair to grow into its natural state. Which means no perms, texturizers, and pressing. So on that day I believe I was about to attend a wedding and I went to the bathroom and chopped my hair all off.
I received a mixture of reactions from different people. My parents and other African parents absolutely hated it. But from my friends and classmates they loved it. Now I'm usually not swede by people opinion but the opinion that swede me the most was that of corporate America.
You I see I work in a predominatly white pharmacy and let say they are not the most racial tolerate. Or should I say culturally tolerate. So I decided to assimilate into mainstream america, which is wearing wigs and sew-ins so I wouldn't look off going to work. A part of me hated this idea because I felt good about my natural hair. Then the other part of me realizes that corporate america has not gotten to that point yet. I instantly remember my cousin who is in law school and he had dreads and he told me that the dean told him that the dreads had to go! What is a girl to do?

my love for politics
OMG! Yesterday might have been the best day of my life thus far. Well it all started last week when I heard that Barack Obama is coming to campus. Most of you might not know this about me but I am a nerd when it comes to politics. And I feel utterly fusterated when people dont share the same passion with me! I mean we have pressing issue at stake there is no room for complacency!! Well Obama cancelled the event because of hurricane sandy which, is understandable but he sent something better the nex dayt which is bill clinton! :)
Now when I heard that bill clinton was comming to campus I immediately change plans and cut my organic chemistry lab short. So here, I have photos from the event and also videos, that might not be on the news.
Did I mention that I shook bill Clinton hand thank god there paramatics around. (Sigh) if only I could get bill clinton to sign my lab notebook. Maybe I could sold it and became a millionaire. But I guess Clinton understands the value of an education. Till next time
ps Make sure you vote november 6. the links below will lead to video on my youtube channel. If the links doesnt work my youtube name is Purelylovin
