I feel like a hippy!
Man, I've just been thinking... and I gotta say just how thankful I am about my life in general right now.
I'm so thankful that my parents were smart enough to start an education savings fund for me, so that I didn't have to pay my way through college. Most people my age have at least $30,000 worth of debt to clear up.
Despite the fact that my boss was a big fucking moron, I had one hell of a sweet job during the entire time I was at college. I worked on the official college web site for a total of two and a half years, which looks pretty damn sweet on my resume. Not to mention the fact that I was practically the project manager for the entire site re-design in the final year of my working there, because my boss was too much of an idiot to know what the hell was going on. I know people have had to work really shitty, thankless jobs to earn money while at college so I'm thankful that I was able to bypass that.
I just graudated from a three-year college program last May and I had a full-time salary job in the industry I'm interested in before I even got to the graudation ceremony. I realise how hard it is for a lot of people to find jobs in their industries so I know just how damn lucky I am. It's also pretty lucky of me to get involved in the project just as it began to really increase in popularity. I've also met some of the greatest people that I could ever hope to be friends with there too.
I'm seeing such a kind, talented, awesomely hilarious, selfless guy right now, who'd bend over backwards for people who some probably don't realise how lucky they are to know someone like him. Sometimes I still can't believe that I'm going out with him right now, having pined away for him for so long. Since we started going out, I've felt the best, happiest and most confident I've ever felt in my life.
I have the best, most awesome, talented, sharp-witted, fashionable, loyal and reliable best friend that anyone could ever wish to have. She's been there for me since day one and I can't think of anyone that I have more fun with. We're so alike, right down to fitting the same clothes and thinking in the same way, that I honestly think I would have been lost years ago. She helped me break out of my shell after high school and I don't think that I'll ever find anyone as awesome as her.
...Yup, my life has been pretty damn good since I got out of high school... and even then, it wasn't so absolutely terrible because it shaped me into the person I am today. No regrets, as I always say (in terms of the past, anyway).
