A New Beginning

Hello all,

Today, I am writing you because I am trying to turn over a new leaf. A new beginning. A fresh start.

I am going to get back into my blog and actually writing in it weekly, even if I haven't done anything on my bucket list. I feel like you should know what's going on with me and where my life has taken me. I haven't really done a whole lot since the last time I updated, but I will post about that next time.

So, this is not an overview post and this will not be about what has happened in the past year, or anything like that, but it this is going to be the first post of many that I will start to publish on the regular. I may not even end up always posting about my bucket list. I may end up posting about a new product I got for free and finally got around to trying it out.

I was tempted to move this blog to WordPress, but I can't see the reason why until I know I will actually continue to post. Also, hosting a domain on there is much more expensive than it is on here. So, I may purchase a domain through Blogger instead.

Anyways, I look forward to actually posting and getting into the habit of posting for all to read. I'm also looking for some creative writing courses to assist me with writing better.

Things that I've done

Hey all!

I haven't posted in a long time, but that's only because I've gotten busy and I haven't had much luck crossing things off of my list. However, here's an update of some NEW things that I've been able to do the last year.

• Go Skydiving
• Finish school with my bachelor's
• Witness a bar fight
• Having said bar fight over me
• Travel to Australia (only 3 more continents left!)
• Feed a kangaroo
• Get a picture taken with a koala
• Be a bridesmaid in a wedding

That's pretty much summed up the last year. I haven't really made any sort of dent in my list, and I'm basically just trying to stay sane with the holiday season coming up, and all the extra hours I'll be working. I promise I'll try to do better.

Time and reflection go hand in hand

Wow, i haven't posted in over 2 months.

I have been busy with school and work and planning a birthday/graduation party. I will be officially done with school in 14 days. I'm really excited to finally be done.

While I sit here in my bed, with my cats snuggling by my feet, I am so happy to be done with school. I started right after High School, 9 years ago. I thought I wanted to be an interior designer, so I went to school for graphic design thinking it was the same thing. Turns out it is not.
After wasting a whole year on a degree I wanted to do, I changed to Administrative Assistant A.A.S, with a diploma in Medical Office Assistant. I really wanted to do what my mom did.
In my second year of school, I thought that a boy was more important than school, and got on academic probabtion, then suspension for the Spring semester. Only being allowed to return in the fall at part-time, I realized that school was more important than anything and worked to finally get my degree, all while working a full-time job.
I finished my associates degree 3 years later, and decided to take a year off to work and see if I wanted to go and get my bachelors. I decided to go back and finish what I started. Now, after working really hard, taking MORE than the max credits per semester, working full-time and trying to have a semi social life, I am proud to say that I am so close to being done that I can taste it.

I have been able to do a lot of different things, and learn so many different things.
I have experienced heartbreak, loss of loved ones, gain of loved ones, my first ever move, and many other firsts that have shaped my life to what it is today. I am ready for more firsts and for someone to share my life with.

I want to thank everyone who has helped me on my journey, and put up with me, I wouldn't be here without you all. Especially my family, immediate and extended, who have supported me no matter what I wanted to do.

Here is to hoping the next couple of weeks go by quickly!! <3
