A short background about myself!

Hello World, I'm Brooke Burney

Before I dive right into creating content, I want to make an introduction to my page so you know a little bit about me before reading my posts!

My name is Brooke, and I have a strong desire to achieve my goals, however big or small they may be. I will be a freshman at Oklahoma State University in the fall of 2018, and I am majoring in chemistry. I plan on becoming an anesthesiologist, and I am hoping my major will help me in the future. I love science and think I do well in the subject; however, math is not something that is easy for me to do.

I was a band kid in high school. I went through seven years of playing percussion, with five of those fall semesters being in marching band. I played in the front ensemble for two years, color guard for one and was on the drum line playing bass for my last two years.

Being as I was in band from ages 11-18, I feel it has taught me a lot of lessons in growth, such as learning to let people go and move on from them or stay in touch (like your friends who graduate, quit participating or even move away), how to deal with drama, how to know when enough is enough and most importantly, being on time.

Being on time is such a huge thing in band and everywhere else in the real world. There are two sayings I have for being on time: "you're late if you're on time, and you're on time if you're five minutes early" and "hurry up and wait." That being said, even if I want to be late, I can't because I start to panic knowing that I will be late.

I have always thought about creating a blog or even a YouTube channel, so when I was presented with this opportunity, I jumped right on it. I love to voice my opinion, and I love telling stories as well as quoting my favorite lines from movies or suggesting songs for a certain kind of day. Stay tuned and enjoy!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
