1. My favorite colors are baby blue, yellow, and red. I like the color baby blue because it’s a really soft color and it reminds me of really pretty things like the sky and the ocean. I love the color yellow because it reminds me of joy, happiness, and summer. Finally, I love red because it’s really bold and it reminds me of love and confidence.

2. The color of the year for 2019 is called “living coral” and it is a really pretty coral color that has people in love. The color of the year for 2020 is a really pretty dark/light ocean blue and it is perfectly suited for the upcoming cold, and wintry winter. The piece that would look good with the coral color is a nice coral bikini. A piece that would look good with the blue bleached color is a nice blue dress.

3. Balance- I use balance in my daily dress by wearing clothes that fit my body correctly and clothes that aren’t too baggy and won’t make me look big and slumpy.

Contrast- Contrast clothes are clothes that attracts attention.The clothes that I wear for contrast are clothes that show my shoulders because I like my shoulders and how toned they are.

3. Rhythm- Rhythm outfits create eye movements and an outfit that I would wear with that are clothes that have a lot of patterns like stripes.

4. Unity- Unity in fashion links visual elements making them appear to belong together. Types of clothes that I would wear for that are certain types of dresses with visual elements.

5. Proportion- Proportion relates to the size and shape of all the elements used in a design. The clothes that I would wear for that are clothes that fit my body well and won’t make my body look weird

A rough time for me was particularly last year freshman year of High school because it was hard to adjust to a whole new environment with new people. I wasn’t scared or anything, but it was just a very different environment and I lost myself that year. I started getting into more trouble and my grades started going down. I started arguing with my parents more and I was alone a lot. I also lost a lot of friends that year because I realized the people that were real and fake and that was really different because in middle school I was friends with everybody and I would let fake stuff slide a lot. I think I just got through that time by finding new people that were positive and people that I knew weren’t going to hold me back. I also put High school into a perspective because I reminded myself that High school is a really big part of your life and it could either make or break you. What you do in High school does matter and colleges will look at that. I would’ve done a lot of things differently. One of the things I would’ve done differently was to stay more focused in school and to focus on my grades. I let people influence the decisions I made and that’s not a good thing to do and I wish I would’ve realized that sooner. Freshman year of High school really Humbled me a lot about life and people in general. Sophomore year of High school is going to be my year and I’m ready to take it on.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
