Been a while

So it has been a long time since I've written on here..

 I'm still going to the school of my dreams
---Not doing so well, but what can I do?

 I'm trying to have more fun though, I believe I talked about doing things that I wouldn't normally do in one of my previous posts... like two years ago.

 Anyway! I decided to join the ballroom team at my school.
I took lessons from one of the friends I made in the dorms, and I ended up actually making the team

 I had to try out with a bunch of girls and I actually made it.

 It was quite the experience. I never thought that I could be a dancer, but it was something that I really wanted to do. so I went for it. I was on the team for a year!

 I performed on a huge stage in front of thousands of people and made friends, lots of them.Without ballroom I wouldn't have nay friends right now. So I am very grateful.

 My grades started to fall, I don't want to admit but I'm pretty sure it was because of ballroom. My pocket also became a little (LOT) lighter. So I'm pretty terrified right now.

 Don't know if I'll be able to finish school. and I need to retake a couple classes. I know, I know, not good

 I haven't decided if staying on the team is a good idea or not, but it probably isn't. I love it so much though, it made everyday bearable, knowing that I was apart of something.

 Got a job back in January. I'm a waitress now, working a lot lately. which is pretty nice. Money is VERY nice. I was able to buy a Mac with my tips, I took 30% out of my tips everyday that I worked and set it aside for a new computer! 

 That's the way to get things done though. If you have to have something that is going to cost a ton of money, take some money out of your paycheck, tips, etc... until you have enough, makes the purchase way more satisfying!

 I think I'm done rambling for the night. It's pretty late and I have two finals tomorrow, College Algebra and Managerial Accounting (this is my second shot at it, may have to try it a third time)
--Don't judge me. I can feel you Judging me.

 I shall leave you with a quote!

Life Changes

The year 2018 was not a good year for me. Two things that will send someone into a crippling depression happened to me... As I am still healing from this most recent one, I don't want to go into much detail. But for the rest of this post to make sense you'll need to know that Vincent and I are no longer together, after 8 years.. As time goes by I expect I will be able to open up about it. The past few years I have been stagnant. I still started a Master's program and got a new job as a manager, but I was just existing. I wasn't actually living my life. At the beginning of October I started a 6 week fitness challenge at a CrossFit gym in town. I lost 15 pounds and began to love myself again. But I still wasn't happy. It took the earth shattering, heart breaking, event to make me realize that I needed to do something about the way I have been living. I was one of those people who got up, went to work, came home and sat on the couch watching TV and waiting for the ...

Positivity

Warning : There is rambling. We are asked the same question over and over again while we become adults: When we are younger we say things like: Race car driver and Magician! Little do we know that our ideas on what we want to be in the future rarely stick. When I was a child I wanted to be a teacher, I think it was because I loved school and I respected my teachers, I looked up to them.  But as time went on, school wasn't so much fun anymore, it was more about discipline and our times tables. (You know, the hard stuff). I didn't like my teachers as much as I used to, so my dream of being a teacher changed pretty quickly. Of course, as I got older my dream job kept changing, it wasn't until my 13th birthday that I found the thing that stuck, Photography. My step dad bought me a Canon (I know, I know, gross) for my birthday. I took so many pictures!! And I was sure that photography was my thing, no one else's. ...

American Ninja Warrior

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great summer! Did you notice something different about tonight's post? Well, if you are an avid reader, I'm sure you have. Tonight's post's title is not a Coldplay song. (That sentence came out weird). I'm sitting here next to my mother watching a TV show called "American Ninja Warrior" Have you guys seen this show?? In my opinion it is Wipeout on steroids. Now, I'm sure the competitors aren't on steroids, it's just an expression. People from all over the country train for years (no joke) to get a shot at a million dollars. They go through these crazy obstacles trying to get the best time for completing the course. The top ten competitors from the semi-finals compete at "Mount Midoriyama" in Japan, which is the "birth place" of Ninja Warrior. I'm posting a short video so you guys can see what I'm talking about.   Check this out This show is truly amazing, s...
