Ring In The New Year!

     My intention for 2017 is to get my feelings straight and realize who my real friends are. This year has been really confusing because I have cut off friends because they were fake and I honestly could not deal with them anymore. The reason I need to get my feelings straight is because they get in the way of too many things. My feelings made me drift off with a few of my best friends and now I am really close to one of them again. I hope that in the new year I can rebuild my friendship. Hopefully I am more careful on who I choose to be friends with. 

It's not about what you get, it's about what you give

     I honestly cannot remember what the best present I have ever gotten, mainly because I can't choose. I also cannot recall what the best present I ever gave to someone. This year I want to give my sister a really meaningful gift. Since my older sister's birthday is a few days after Christmas I always give her the birthday present on Christmas. I decided to make her a collage of pictures of us. She always complains on how I never think of her when it comes to gifts (which is such a lie I always get her something). I always ask my mom for suggestions but she always tells me it has to come from me oersonally (that doesn't really help). I really hope she likes it because I am going to be working hard on this particular gift. This gift will really emphasize how much she means to me. I know that we may argue a lot, and I may say some pretty rude things to her, but I really do love her.

What's in a name?

     My first name Andrea comes from many places such as, Greece (Female) France (Female), English origin (Female), Danish origin (Female), Italy (Male), Albania (Male), and Switzerland (Male). In all the origins it means brave. I guess that can relate to me because I am up to try new things. I am also considered brave because I like to speak my mind and say I feel without caring if I get judged. I do back out at times, but eventually I choose to do it because I want to see what will happen. My last name comes from Spain meaning "belong to the Lord" or "he who belongs to the Lord". I'm not really sure what that means, but I like it. I think it's pretty cool that my last name comes from Spain considering that I have Spaniard roots  The only weird thing is that my dad is not from Spain (i have my dad's last name) my mom's dad is from Spain. Maybe both my parent have Spanish roots.
