Never give up. Never back down.

[lovealways___me]

Things have been going really well lately and I'm happier than I thought I would be. Being back in the States has its ups and downs. My parents seem to be stricter in some sense; I suppose it's cause I'm around when they're worrying. School is a little strange too I think. I feel sort of apart from all my sisters, but I guess it's cause I left the semester right after I crossed so it's to be expected. But no matter - these are just the petty things I worry about. Overall, I'm really happy things are going well. I genuinely enjoy every single one of my classes, including ConWest, which I thought I was going to hate, which is why I've been putting it off until now. I really hope I get the job that I wanted. I know interviewing for just one company may not have been the smartest thing to do, but it's a company that I know I would truly enjoy working with.

I'm getting to this point in my life where I'm realizing that there are things in life that I want, and to achieve them, I have to work harder than before. I can't be lazy this time, and I'm not letting myself take any short cuts. And to be quite honest, I don't want to. I know what I want, but I realize what I have is more than I could have ever asked for. I'm preparing for my future, but I'm still enjoying my youth.

Life is amazing!
I AM grateful I got into the classes I wanted.
I AM grateful I got another scholarship for school.
I AM grateful for my family.
I AM grateful for my friends.
I AM grateful for being in a sorority.
I AM happy with my life.

I'm old enough to know better, but young enough to be carefree.
