Author's Picks



In most magazines you will find a section of Editor's picks. Well as my literature stylings have ot gotten me that far yet, I would still love to share with you my list of current favorite things. These range from drinks to songs to trends to stores. Hang on tight, I've got quite the list for you.



1. YouTube video: Monster by Paramore. The song featured on Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. THe video is astounding and Hayley Williams does not disappoint. Of course the two guys on guitar are there, Jeremy Williams and Taylor York, do a great job as well. (cover pictured above) The band recently lost the Farro brothers but still plans to continue ad release a fourth album within the next year. Riot fans stay true!



2. Vintage and Consignment: the mall may be great, but not only is it pricey, but everyone shops there. Chances are that if you find something you love at American Eagle (or the like) about 35 other people from your shool have probably found it and loved it too. This year I'm going vintage and hitting the resale shops. Salvation Army, Plato's, Bearlee New, and Uptown Resale are just a few in the BA/ Tulsa area. Those will be my spots for back to school shopping. Many of them will be having sales and promotions for the new school year as well. The main thing to remember is try it on before you buy it. These stores offer unique one of a kind peices that have been gently used and have endless possibilities.



3. Planking: this s a semi new trend for the adrenaline junkies. It's similiar to the 2004 trend, parkour, as seen on the office. Planking is simply choosing some of the most strange and dangerous places and laying on your tummy and making your body into the form of a plank. As soon as it cools down I plan on taking a bunch of my friends to find some really cool planking spots.



4.SUSIE magazine: This magazine was created by Susie Shellenberger and is geared towards teen christian girls. It is full of spiritual, social, and other useful advice. It is an incredible tool that I love to use in working on my faith. God has used this magazine to connect girls all over the world. Like SUSIE on faacebook for updates.



5. Spontaneous-ness: yes, I am pretty sure that is a word. But I just love random ness. My best friend and I are the queens of random sleepovers and 10 o'clock trips to mcdonald's. It is so much fun to do random things like that with good friends.
