It's been about a year now
It seems like every year around this time I start to visit my journal again. As the year draws to a close it's a good chance to see where I've been, where I wanted to be, and what I've accomplished.
As 2010 draws to a close I've made several accomplishments and had a few victories. Still, It's been a tough year for me for several reasons, and I can't say that I am disappointed that the year is drawing to a close. The year saw its fair share of failures in my life. One major area of failure came in the form of relationships. The most recent came within the last couple of weeks.
Christmas is tomorrow. As friday evening draws near, so does the completion of my seventh holiday season at Best Buy. Some people think it's great that I've held one job for that long. Make no mistake - 7 years does not represent an accomplishment, but rather a spectacular failure in my life. As a college job it wasn't bad. It paid decent and the hours were ok. Post college however, I feel like I die a little more inside every time I walk through the blue doors. I spent 6 years and nearly $100,000 on getting a bachelor's degree, and I have a mcjob.
One of my good friends once told me don't ever devote anything into your life to best buy. Whether it be school, your personal life, or a relocation. It's McDonalds slightly better pay and you don't have out smelling like grease. When all is said and done, it's a half step above McDonald's if you're an optimist.
I consider the forward movement of my career a failure for the year, and something I need to fix next year.
2010 did bring some accomplishments, however. After 6 years I finally have a bachelor's degree, I lived outside of Michigan for a extended period of time, met new people and made new friends. I have lost about 30 pounds since the year began, and started running for extended distances. I now weigh what I did when I went to GVSU.
Looking forward to 2011, I am hopeful of what the year may bring. As 2010 draws to a close, I am seeing someone again, and hoping it lasts into the new year. The job market is starting to improve, and little is tying me to Michigan so I can relocate if needed. I proved to myself with the time I spent in Pittsburgh that I can handle a new area.
My new years resolutions: Continue to improve my lifestyle and become more physically fit, continue with the weight loss. I also want to seek help for my depression and social anxiety disorder. I feel that it has been an major obstacle in my life, and I need to stop letting it get in the way of running my life. And of course, move my career forward.
Merry Christmas, and good luck to everyone in the new year.
