Christmas Holidays…And Only One More Semester Until I have to Start My Real Life

So here I am again on Christmas holidays!! I have spend the entire semester either studying, trying to study, thinking about studying, or feeling bad about not studying and now I am free and have no idea what to do with myself. After two weeks of living in the library I thought that I would be looking forward to being done and starting but holidays but instead found myself feeling bittersweet. Being done finals means the end of my semesters and being done my semester means I only have one semester left until I graduate. Terrifying.

I have never really had to support myself before and the idea of having to work at a job that I hate because I need to pay my bills is terrifying. I have never had to consider finding a different job before I quit my current one in order to be able to pay rent or not being able to stay home when I’m sick and I’ve never had to worry about quitting a job because I wanted to move, etc. Now I have to take all of these things into consideration. I imagine that it wouldn’t be so bad if I was being conditioned for a job but my degree might as well be an application for McDonalds. It’s so defeating. What am I going to do. *sigh*

On another completely different note, I have noticed that I have a filthy habit of inserting the word “like” into my sentences when I speak in order to pad. This must be stopped. It makes me sound uneducated and air-head-y. Haha. So my goal over Christmas is to Read Orwell’s Animal Farm and Huxley, work on my speech and…decide what I’m going to do with the rest of my life.

Happy Holidays to Me!

Cheers to a New Life and a New Blog!

For someone who was very excited, bordering on ecstatic, to finally have a blog of my own–the task of actually writing one seems quite daunting. There was so much excitement and hustle and bustle surrounding the creation and editing of said blog…from choosing a handle to choosing a them to editing pages…all that build up until finally, it was finished! Now the blank “Add new post” page stares back at me and my cursor apathetically blinks. More blinking… And then it comes to me! The reason I’m blogging. This is my outlet. And it doesn’t matter if a million people read it or no body reads it!! I get to write and write and write and write until my fingers ache and my brain quits! And hopefully instead of all my energy coming out emotionally, it will come our artistically with the help of this literary device. So with the new year I will be leaving behind an old life and starting anew with the help of this blog! I am very optimistic that it will help motivate me to begin and maintain a emotionally, mentally and physically healthy lifestyle!! Cheers!
