Everything Has an Effect
I'm trying to think of a way to start this off without sounding like a depressed yet eloquent 15 year old. The basic gist is that I want to be stronger and less effected by what others do. And I dont want to keep dwelling on things that I cant change (at least not right now). I'm not completely sure how to go about that but progress is happening slowly. I dont like waking up irritated because my roommate and her boyfriend drank all my milk. Or because my bank account is in the negative. Or because I cant drive/dont have a car. Or because my laptop is halfway dead.
You'll notice all of my issues focus on either people or material things. Not exactly the best of things to focus your life around.
What I've gathered is that things need to change. Yes, a lot of things. But it will take time and patience which are two things I struggle with. So what changes am I looking forward to in the spring?
- Looking for a new apartment: Since my roommate will be graduating and her boyfriend will be moving back here, I have no desire to live with the both of them in this tiny cramped messy apartment. I've actually wanted to live by myself for quite a while now, I simply didnt have the means to do so. I actually want to find a way to move back home for a bit over the summer. By home, I mean to my home town and not to my actual house. So the tentative plan is - move completely out of this apartment in the end of spring to a rental in my home town. Then line up a new 1 bedroom apartment for the fall. My only issues are the same two issues that hold me back anyway...money and transportation. But I'm determined to find ways to defeat those two issues.
- Getting my license: pretty self explanatory
- Beginning to form some life path options for post graduation
- Getting my financial house in order: learning to save, shopping smarter, making more money.
Like I said before, this all isnt going to happen over night but its time to start making steps in these directions so that post graduation wont be a slap in the face. And because I want these good habits and life goals to start forming sooner rather than later.
Spring is a time of newness and growth. How do you plan on growing this spring?
