So 2011 was interesting. It was filled with a lot of hurt, but also great times and new experiences. I was trying for the entire month of December to decide on a resolution for the new year. I thought of little ones like to workout everyday or to get all A’s, but I wanted something bigger. Something that made me a better person and 3 days into the new year I finally figured it out. Don’t let other people’s opinions about someone change mine. When I think about this, really it can’t be that hard. But sometimes you are put into situations where your thoughts are hindered by others. Like if you like this boy, but your friends don’t approve or don’t think he’s nice or cute. Or if you think this girl is really nice, but your friends have a past with her and they can’t stand her. I am smart enough to form my own opinions. Just because someone doesn’t like someone doesn’t give me a reason to not like them. So for 2012, regardless of the opinions of my friends or family, I am going to try to give everyone a chance.

I haven’t really been on here since before I left for school. I guess it was because I didn’t have time, but I never realized how much tumblr was like an escape for me. School is school. It’s actually not as hard as I thought it would be but being here doesn’t even begin to compare to home. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made friends, and I have fun. My life here isn’t miserable. But it’s nothing like home. I haven’t met anyone here that comes anywhere close to my best friends. Everyone is telling me things will get better and it’s just a culture shock. I hope so. But I go home in less than a week and I am beyond excited. I truly have the best friends and family in the world for helping me get through this HUGE change. I know God brought me here for a reason. I know that things will change and this is just part of my journey.
