I guess this is growing up.

I work 8am-2pm in an office, wearing business casual clothes and heels.

I am tired. all.the.time.

I drink coffee.

I save money.

I'm preparing to move out in August.

I'm taking out loans.

I have to work out, or else I will get fat.

I'm a sophomore in COLLEGE !

When did all this happen?

This is not at all how I pictured 19 to be. But that's okay.

Welp, it's a new year, and to be honest, I couldn't be happier.

Although 2009 was good and taught me A LOT, I'm so excited to step into this new year. I'm beginning it with a clean slate. I've spent the past few weeks reflecting on 2009, the lessons I learned, the people I met, the fun I had, the memories I made and the ones I tried to erase. I began to make a list of things that I need to do, that I want to do and things that I will never do again. Needless to say, I feel as if I'm going into this new year with a smarter outlook on life. I've learned, I've matured and I've grown to see the things I missed before.

I remember where my focus was this time last year, and I remember the events that followed and led me sprinting down a path I shouldn't have taken. I remember what my priorities were (and how absolutely backwards they were) and where that got me at the end of the school year. I remember all the grace that God gave me and all the opportunities He made for me that I didn't deserve.

Thus, this year will be better, this year will be happier, this year I will succeed. Join me?
