Now that's not to say that the years and experiences before those had nothing to do with my transition into adulthood. In fact, there are a lot of experience that have helped me grow into the person I am. And yet, this past year seems to be the pivotal one.
This time last year, I was pursuing a boy who was kind of an ass, rejecting the guy that was not an ass and wanted to treat me well, I was struggling with finances due to my own inability to budget and control my impulse shopping, I was drinking more (which is doubly bad because I am medically not suppose to drink at all), and I was partaking in activities that made my roommates not want to live with me. I was also off of my educational track.
So how is it that it has been only one year and I am now in my school within my university, applying for student teaching, getting straight A's, maintaining healthy and positive relationships, and balancing this with my job where I just got a raise and a promotion? Oh also that guy that wanted to treat me well is now my long-term, committed boyfriend with whom I just celebrated my anniversary.
Maybe it is because I became such a mess but somehow I have come to such a healthy place in my life. So I guess the real message of this is as follows:
GO ME!
