Motivational Mondays: New Beginnings

Recently I haven't blogged. I haven't even opened my computer to blog. I haven't taken out my phone to take pictures for blog posts. I haven't even really discussed blogging outside of the occasional questions I get asked at work or my random sporadic tweets on the subject. Why? Well for the same reason I decided I didn't want to be a journalist after taking a few journalism courses in college. There are too many rules and not enough action.

Sunday Funday: Positive Thoughts Bring Positive Outcomes

(Basically I completely forgot about this picture and will now use both of them)

Happy Sunday it is the end of the weekend and the start of the week. Everyone is either doing homework, preparing for the work week, bonding with their families and etc. As for me I am preparing for a night of exploration through my neighborhood. I've only been here for a month now so I love exploring the neighborhood and finding new things to fall in love with. So basically I go on 2 hour walks often with my brother and his friends. Sometimes I go without him though and when I do I like to recap about the all the positive events and etc. that are going on in my life right now.

Sunday Funday: The World of Employment!

Hi I'm Ashley Clayton and I applied for a Sales Associate position at Maurices. However, they believe that my skills would be better suited for an Assistant Manager position so I was hired as that instead! Yay me! Basically that is why I haven't blogged since Wednesday.

Movie Night: Wedding Vows

Wedding Vow's is not a movie. Well it might be but this post is not about the movie if there is one. This is about one of the most important parts of a  wedding...the vows. If you're like me than you hate the basic one that the priest recite. Not that there is anything wrong with that but my heart gets super excited when hear people express how they truly feel about someone from their heart.

Why every girl needs a male wing-man (an ode to my wing-man)

Sorry for the accidental blogger break you guys but I'm back and better than ever!

Today is a pretty special day for me. One of my favorite people in the entire world turns 21 today! MARIO. Basically our friendship started when an acquaintance of mine had shown an interest in him and started talking to him. Despite their awkward (yes awkward) situation our friendship blossomed and throughout the rest of my years at Hiram he had quickly become my one of my best friends. A statement I use loosely but in this situation I mean ever word of it.

Why? Well a girl needs her wing man or male best friend and this I found in him. Someone whom if they wanted to could incriminate my life but because they care wouldn't dream of it.

20 times Buster Baxter (from Arthur) was basically my spirit animal

If you've never watched Arthur than you are missing out on an important part of what makes life so great. Essentially Arthur is a children's show on PBS Kids about a child name Arthur, his friends, and family. Two seasons are on Netflix and most episodes are on Youtube (trust me I know these things). Honestly though, despite the show being called Arthur the best and most memorable moments are episodes that are heavily Buster Baxter induced.

Hello John (The Big to my Carrie)

“When a relationship dies do we ever really give up the ghost or are we forever haunted by the spirits of relationships past.”-Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Remember John from a previous post (I hate to be this girl but)? I talked about him being the Big to my Carrie Bradshaw. How every girl has a Big but not every girl wants one and etc. Well...I found myself creeping on his Facebook and Instagram and Soundcloud...basically his whole social media existence.

The road to self-discovery is paved with good intentions?

It's Tuesday! I hope your Monday was productive and full of pleasant surprises. Since I just graduated college last month I moved back home hopefully until September 1st when I'll be moving to L.A. to peruse a career.  I took a day off yesterday from career searching, researching, and blogging (a surprisingly unexpected break) and focused on enjoying life. I spent the day with my niece watching Goosebumps, cooking, and baking. We made some pretty fun galaxy cookies (multi-colored swirl cookies shaped like stars). That was probably the best part of my summer so far (and it's only June)!
