My happiness is first.

 

I’m kind of in a bad mood considering I didn’t do too well in two of my classes. One, I now do not need and the other I think I’ll be taking over in order to get the 3.0 or whatever it is I need.. which is so stupid because my school is 10 week classes opposed to the typical 15 weeks at other colleges. Since my degree will be something medically related the grading scale is different… so like a 92% is actually a B.. and that would be a 3 something, I don’t know the exact number. Regardless, it’s a bunch of baby poop.

I hate school. Absolutely hate it. Every second of it. So, I’m dropping out.

Kidding. Not about hating school, because that part is so very true. However, I did change my major. Sadly, it’s still medically related which blows because of the grading scale. I guess I shouldn’t say sadly because I want to do something medically related. I’m already certified in Phlebotomy and I have a passion for what I want to do with my career. However, as long as I get into this program next summer.. which my chances will hopefully still be good.. then I can be done with school by the time I’m like 23. Which means I’ll be moving to Nashville, living the married life, working with kids all day long and life will be fabulous.

I could not allow myself to stay in the program I was originally in. They accept 30 (usually not even that many) every year, once a year.. and 300 apply. You have to have a 4.0 and score a perfect score on your entrance exam and even then.. you’re just up against everyone else who have the same exact score. Yeah, no thanks.

I was nervous about making this decision. I’ve actually been really stressed out about it. But, when I made it official, I felt so relieved. It might sound like I’m taking a short cut.. maybe I am.. but I just need to do what makes me happy. When I have a career and I’m married and in Nashville and I decide that I want to do more with my career, I can always go back to school. I’ll still be young. And, if anyone wants to judge me for this.. I don’t care. Judge me. I’d be making the same amount.

Now that I got that out. I feel much better. If any of you read this.. you’re awesome.

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...
