Elsa Has "Frozen" the World
Definitely gotta applaud Disney's attempt to globalize. I love that they're taking their songs and having them performed by artists from countries all around the world in their own language. Here are the versions I found and they all sound beautiful. Enjoy!

2013 Review
So I'm taking a cue from @hungrytien and writing my own recap of 2013. I would say a lot has changed, but then again it hasn't. Let's start.
Struggle to Start My Career
As some of you know, I graduated from UTD in December of 2012. Since then, I've been on a mad search for an actual career job thing. From January to May, I basically had nothing. I mean, I had a very short lived job as a poolside server at the Gaylord Texasn Hotel but that doesn't count because it's not design related. And I guess I also had a small freelance project for Hughie's designing their logo and starting up their social media marketing. Besides that, I didn't have much going on for me.
In May, I landed an unpaid internship at MetroMedia Technologies which was a company that specialized in outdoor advertising. I thought it was cool because it was my first ever internship and I got to work on projects independently and stuff. Eventually, I got tired of it because 1) I wasn't learning anything new and 2) most of the "projects" was just copy this and slap on the MetroMedia Techonologies logo. I was basically wasting my time. So I left MetroMedia Technologies in September and continued to work at Studio Movie Grill (which I had quit in November in 2012 but picked it back up again in May to make up for the fact that my internship at MetroMedia was unpaid).
Then something happened. In August, I had gained a Twitter follower named @BlackBookInk. Curious, I looked up this Twitter follower and found that they were an advertising agency located in Dallas. I ended up asking if there were any career opportunities available for graphic designers and in October, I landed an internship at this small design agency in Deep Ellum. Again, it's unpaid, but I feel like I'm learning a lot more here than I did at MetroMedia. It kinda helps that I actually know who our clients are and that someone knows how to help me when a design issue comes up. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that by the end of my time as an intern I will be accepted as an official member of the team. If I don't get accepted, then I don't know what I'd do. Some people are saying I've been too hard on myself for not having a paying job. I'm only 22. I still have time. But I graduated a semester early to try and get a head start on my career and not being able to land a job is like failure for me. Maybe I just set my standards for myself too high.
Family Life
I'm not gonna say that I've been the best big sister this year because I haven't. Ever since I've gotten more involved in work and youth group stuff, I've spent more time with my friends than my family. Some might not say that it's a bad thing, but when your siblings start resenting you every time you go out then something's wrong.
Health
So the previous years, I've always had a goal to gain weight. In all seriousness, what I should be worried about is maintaining a healthier eating habit. Some days I only have one meal, some days I have 3. It's taking a toll on my health. And on days off, I sleep like 12 hours a day. No bueno.
On top of bad eating habits, I haven't really developed a habit of exercising regularly. I mean, sure, on some Friday mornings I go play basketball with the guys but I'm not really that good at it. I need to work on some other form of exercise. Get in shape. Maybe this year Team 7 will be able to take on Tough Mudder.
I have no idea what I'm rambling about anymore. Haha. But yeah. Goals for this year!

- Maintain a better eating habit (3 meals a day, no skipping meals)
- Develop an exercise routine?
- Spend more time with the siblings
