Hello my name is Maryssa I am 22 years old, I am a certified hair stylist I love the industry that I am in it is so free and creative. It is not a judge mental or any type of pressure to be a certain way; certain size, certain look, certain shape. You are solo based on your talent alone of making whoever is sitting in your chair the happiest person ever! I decided last summer to go back to school and at least get my basic education and maybe even pursue something in the animal world. I am thinking maybe a veterinarian.

I love living in California it is such a beautiful place I really couldn’t picture myself living anywhere else! I am from Oregon, but then decided to move to California to pursue my dream in hair. My hobbies are doing hair, I love shopping and spending money it’s a problem J hehe that I am trying to work on, I love my family more than anything in the world it pains me that I can’t be with all the time but I know they are happy that I am doing something that I love! I enjoy tattoos I feel that is a expression of your soul and is also very creative like the same industry that I am in. These are some of the tattoos that I have.

 

 

 

This is my dog Mr. Tankers I love him to death I am a big animal lover I have had the since I was a little girl and would to someday work with them and open my own rescue center too I think that would be amazing for dogs.

Hello everyone! :) My name is Sungmi Pyun and I am 23 years old. I will be 24 in two weeks. I can’t wait to celebrate with my families and friends. :) I am not a blogger so I am not sure if I am doing fine. I hope I get use to this blog during this semester.

I am Korean and I am currently staying in Korea for summer vacation. I often visit Korea for summer. I will be going back to the states after a month. Also, I am working right now in Korea at the clothing store. It is my first time working so I am learning a lot.

This is my second time to take class at Miracosta college. I am currently UCSD student and my major is Economics so I am taking this class for humanities. I will be graduate next year so I hope I pass this class. :)

 I like to watch musical. I watched BIBAP musical two weeks ago and it was really fun!!:))))

Hello,
my name is Nicole and I am not familiar with blogging at all. Truthfully, I am not even sure how this is linked so other students can see but hey, I followed the directions so lets hope this is right...

Lets see, there are 3 things you should know about me. I am a Mommy, a vegan, and I love physics!


My Daughter is my world and my drive to finish my BA and further pursue my PhD. I crammed this semester full of online classes so I can spend everyday at home with her. I would not be here if it was not for her and there is not a day goes by that I do not smile because of her.

My Beautiful Daughter Taeh [tay-uh(one syllabul)] she is now 5mo old!

Me! Pregnant!

I became conscious of the vegetarian/vegan diet when I was 12 and after 4 years of a vegetarian lifestyle I made the switch to vegan, i.e. eating an absolutely animal free diet.

I am majoring in biophysics because I am crossed between going to medical school or pursuing physics. Medicine helps today but physics is where we can be tomorrow. I am interested in quantum and particle physics as well as medical physics and surgery.

Hello everyone my name is Uriane. Honestly, I am not really a blogger, but it is something I can handle. I am really focused and determined to achieve my educational goals. So that I am a successful individual. I love to draw and I love to sing, even thought about American Idol once, but I'm just a tad shy, so what good would that do? I've been drawing out a couple of my next tattoos, I think that would be pretty awesome to have something I drew out myself be apart of my body art. All in all, I am going to "Getter Done" as said by Larry the Cable Guy. I want to finish up my degrees in Network and Desktop Support, and Business Administration so that when I get married to the Love of My Life I know that I'm happy with my educational accomplishments, and can focus on being a great wife, to the man who is my best friend and who always treats me like his princess, even when I'm a brat.(I wouldn't even put up with me sometimes, but he does) he is amazing. Winning!!

Its a Shantastic life! Blog entry 1

 

Hi there, my name is Shannon and I live in Winchester, which I like to refer to as French Valley... after all, "French Valley" sounds so much more fancy than Winchester. I am 32 years old and have one daughter.  She is fabulous.

This is a picture of her when she was a baby.....she is twelve now.

 

This is her now.

 

 

Some of my favorite things are unicorns, The Rock, snow, and Valencia orange refreshers from Starbucks.I love using the word magical, and I love all things that sparkle. 

 

I even purchased a glitter binder for this class.

 

 

 

 

I think it is important for you all to know up front that I am all about taking selfies. I feel that the selfie is truly an art form and I take them whenever I have the opportunity.

 

Random Selfie

New York City selfie.

 

I wanted the large sunglasses but they were all out.
 

  

I recently got a dog and named her Fancy.

 

 

 

 She is a goldendoodle, and I don't think she likes to swing very much. Have a puppy is a lot like having a newborn. I don't want to rush her through life or anything, but lets just say I cant wait to get to the part where she just lays around all day.

I once got tricked in to volunteering to be a referee. I had to take an 8 hour class which I thought would be a "you pass if you show up" kind of situation, but they actually required me to pass a written exam with nearly 100 questions. I was able to persevere and as soon as I got my referee badge I immediately razzled it up with glitter. The person in charge of the referees said I couldn't wear a badge with glitter and that ended my referee career.

 

My absolute favorite movie of all time is Dirty Dancing. I have had a crush on Patrick Swayze since I was four.

 

Here is a picture of Patrick and I....

 

My other most favorite movie of all time is Home Alone.

 

 

I love hot dogs. Yes, I know they are not healthy, yes, I know they are made of questionable substances but listen, I have never read the ingredients and I feel that I am better off that way. I recently switched to turkey franks, and I must say they aren't bad. I don't know if they are really any better for me, or if a hot dog is a hot dog, but at least it helps me to convince myself I am making healthier choices.

Hot dog at the One Direction concert....don't judge me, I went because my 12 year old loves them....and because they are adorable little fellas.

 

My first concert was in 1993 when I was 12. I saw Billy Ray Cyrus in all his mullet glory. It was amazing. I am rather impressed with myself for still having the ticket 20 years later, and it just having one schmutz stain.

 

I don't want you to be jealous when you see this next photo. I know it will be hard due to my flowing luscious third-grade mullet locks. I had great hair back then.....

 

Please also try not to be jealous of my amazing crooked bangs (that my dad cut by putting a strip of masking tape across my forehead which turned out to be surprisingly unreliable) and my Heidi dress in the following photo. Again, I know it will be hard.

 

I recently attended the Michael Bolton concert with my mom at the Grove in Anaheim. When I was growing up my mom was OBSESSED with Michael Bolton. I know every word to every song and I wasn't afraid to show it at the concert. He has the voice of an angel.  My coworkers apparently don't feel as though he is as amazing as I do and put up some hilarious pictures of him at my desk. 

I have a great job working as a Human Resources Manager and was lucky enough to find a career I loved when I was 19. If I could convince you all of one thing, it would be that HR people are people too.  If I call you to my office, that doesn't necessarily mean you're getting fired..... but why are you so nervous? You're acting kind of suspicious, maybe you did something wrong??!

 

 I have 13 years of experience in HR and recently passed my SPHR exam (Senior Professional in Human Resources). It was a doozy of a test. The national pass rate is under 40%.  I had a lot of Jessi Spano moments in the weeks leading up to my exam. If you aren't sure what a Jessi Spano moment is, first let me apologize that your life has not been blessed with this clip before....please click on the link.

 

Jessi Spano "I'm so excited"

 

Thank goodness I passed. I celebrated with a bottle of Champs. Wilson Creek is my personal favorite!

 

 

 

I have decided that it is time to get my degree in Business Management, so that is what I am doing here. I look forward to learning and growing through this semester with each of you.

 

XO

Blog one: Beginnings

It seems like every time I take a glance around I'm at a new beginning. Sometimes I have to wonder where the endings disappear to. All of these experiences and endeavors constantly blend into each other and it's a rather surreal feeling. I lean back, take a breath, look out at the world and find myself at another beginning now. A fresh semester with fresh faces, new insights, and pristine peeks into the madness we all hide inside. It's invigorating and beautiful... and I seem to have forgotten my manners. I suppose introductions are in order.

Cue dramatic three-quarter profile shot

Hello fellow students, my name's Chris; I'm 27 years old, and I feel older every time I meet someone who doesn't know who the Smashing Pumpkins are or what the Goonies is. I'm a life enthusiast and love to explore new things. I feel most alive when I can be outside and exhausting myself.

I'm a geek at heart and enjoy myself a good dungeon crawling hack and slash, lasers blazing sci-fi, or cog-spinning steampunk escapade. I read most things I can get my hands on, to my own detriment at times, and enjoy a variety of genres.




I share a common bond with many of you out there in my passion for animals, I enjoy the company of many feathered, furred, scaled, and even sometimes slimy accomplices.

 Here's my two African spurred tortoises and my dog, Capo. Much to his shelled friends torment, Capo enjoys carrots.





Woodwork can be surprisingly therapeutic, here I am blowing off some steam while creating a piece of art which now spends its days as a candy vessel.

I enjoy a good day of paddling around in a kayak, whether it's fresh or salt water. Here's my sister taking a row at Lake Hodges, which is more like a bayou this time of year. Funny how when it comes to water sports you never end up with pictures of yourself.




There are countless facets and to my life and personality. I hope I've at least been able to give you all a decent glimpse. I'm sure I'll be permitted to point out more of my quirks and let you all a little deeper down the rabbit hole by the time this course ends. I bid you all adieu, until next time.

My Boyfriend and I

My two Bestfriend and our Boyfriends at Disneyland 

    

My adorable nephew, Noah

 Hi All! My name is Christine Jepson. I am a single mom with 2 crazy kids (Sydney who is 3 & Alex who is 4).  I am a Nursing Major and my end goal is to become a trauma RN! As we go through my pictures I'll share more about this crazy life of mine!!


I've been a competitive dancer my whole life, this is just one of about a million competition pictures!! I'm not the graceful ballerina type though I've always been a jazz powerhouse. 

 I am a total fitness freak who finally decided I was sick of being comfortable using the excuse of being a mother of 2 for the way my body looked and for the way that I took care of myself. This is unfortunately how I eat most of my meals! All prepped out and measured but hey I've lost 35 pounds in 5 months and couldn't be happier with where my fitness journey is headed.

I currently work as a CNA at La Paloma Healthcare Center and I love it!!

 I am a tattoo enthusiast and this is currently my biggest piece which still needs to be finished! What you see has been 15 hours in the making!

 These are our 2 dogs, Penny and Sheldon (yes they're names do come from The Big Bang Theory).

 My kids are my everything, they're my biggest joy in life and I don't know what I would ever do without them!! This is us being superheros!

 This is my daughter Sydney on her 1st day of preschool this year, she can be cute when she wants to be but can rarely ever take a serious picture, she's way to much of a ham for that. She does dance and plays soccer. She basically a mini me which is always an interesting adventure!

 This is my son Alex on his first day of Kindergarten! Just like my daughter he can't take a serious picture ever!! He's involved in MMA, Soccer, and roller hockey. He's my little comedian!!

 I play adult softball 2 nights a week in San Marcos and Vista! My team is like my family, we've been playing together for almost 5 years now!!

I have a fitness photo shoot coming up in 8 weeks so it's really time to put my nose to the grindstone. I am also an aspiring to become a NPC competitor! Team ELF (Everlast Fitness) all the way!!

Also clearly I have a severe zebra print addiction!

I look forward to this semester with you all!!
