15 for Me

Hello all! I apologize for the late post. I got inspired at the wrong time. This week, I am going to write about my first experience at a gym. I wasn't very athletic growing up. It's not that I didn't want to be. Anyone who knows me well knows I am very competitive. The problem I had with sports in high school was all the drama and cliques that seemed to circle each team. Not to mention, I loved eating whatever I wanted and not getting up early to lift weights.  Now that I am older, I want to work out more. I'm not big in any way. I just want to stay active so I don't have to worry about waking up one day, suddenly realizing that i'm overweight, and not having the stamina to do anything about it. I also wish I was a little stronger. I love rock climbing, but I always run into problems when I need arm strength. I've also never been able to do a pull up, so I want to be able to do that. The gym my boyfriend and I go to is great. They had us me...

Hello everyone! For my first week of the summer, I decided to do something that's a little simple, but necessary. I also don't have a paycheck yet, so I needed to do something that didn't require money. I decided to take the week to relax and settle in to my apartment. The week started off with job hunting. I believe in taking time for yourself, but I also believe in working hard for what you want. I applied to places that revolve around my major, which involves instructing others during art-related activities. I am hopeful that I will be hired, but I am waiting for my background check to go through. So, while I waited, I worked on settling into my boyfriend's apartment. It has taken a lot of transition, considering he doesn't have a lot of stuff and I have all the stuff. I went through all of my papers and threw out a stack that went up to my knee. I still had stuff from freshman year of college! It felt really good to go through everything. We still have som...

Hello Everyone! As some of you may know by now, I am doing 15 things for myself this summer. One thing each week. Why am I being so selfish? Well, for starters, anyone who knows me well knows I will put others before myself constantly. I was bullied throughout elementary school. It was a small school, and I was an easy target. The worst part is, there is no recovering from that mentality of not being worth other people's time. When my family moved, I did everything I could to start fresh and make friends I had never had before. I met two amazing girls who welcomed me into their circle. We all got along really well, until they had a huge fight. Then I juggled my attention between the two, until I couldn't anymore. It didn't matter, because I found a man I loved at school in 10th grade. He was a great guy, who loved me, despite what I thought of myself for years. We had an amazing time together. He was my best friend. However, it didn't work out, and we went our s...
