Jazlyn's Dream Fund

Why I need to move to California.

Jazlyn's Dream Fund

Hello, my name is Jazlyn Sward. I have always had a passion for the arts. I grew up dancing, singing, and acting. I think of art as a way to communicate and that's why art will always be apart of my life. I just recently got into modeling and it really took off. Unfortunately, I quickly realized the place I live now, Colorado Springs, could not provide me with opportunities that I could create a career off of. So I decided to take a trip to California to see if I could pursue modeling further. The first day I got to California I cried, not sad tears, but because I finally realized what my purpose in life was. It was like the dark cloud of uncertainty that I had been living with was finally gone and I could feel my vision coming to life. I asked myself why am I so happy out here? What changed? I realized the thing I love most about art is the way it can make people feel. My purpose was to bring light and happiness to not only myself but others as well. That is my talent. My talent is not being pretty. Modeling is about creating art and letting others enjoy it as much as you do.

All that being said, I know I have to be in California to fully pursue this dream of mine. I originally planned to move out to California for six months and reevaluate my vision then. I had a person to stay with but it turns out that person is unavailable. So, now I am planning to go out to California for three months at a time or just as much as I possibly can until I can afford to move out to California. I started a campaign called “Jazlyn’s dream fund” where you can donate. I am employed right now and I am trying to save up as much as I can. All donations will be going towards moving to California and supporting my dream, every dollar counts!

If you cannot donate anything please send positive energy and love my way.

Thank you
-All my love

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
