Afterthoughts...

I think it's really bizarre that after one day, an entire social world was opened to me.

21 is awesome. 

It's not just drinking though. 

...however I have had my fair share of drinks since the the 15th...

It's more about this feeling of freedom. Like, I can go wherever I like. Even in Raleigh, which I deemed the most boring place in the world, was kind of hopping Saturday night when I went out. I've been having tons of fun and I didn't have to be drunk to do it. 

21 has also given me this new found confidence in myself. I feel like an adult now and people are finally seeing that as well even though my ideas and speech patterns have not changed. It's weird. 

Anyways, I just thought I would write my thoughts on being 21. It's been nearly a week since my birthday and things have been amazing. 

I also wanted to update on the whole Europe trip! I feel like I just kind of was like, "BAM! Europe. January. Get happy." Which is true but I would like to write about it just for a bit. So yeah, January 7th I will be boarding a plane to Dublin, Ireland! I'll be there for 2 weeks and whilst I'm there, I'm planning on taking a train into London and spending a couple days there. Then, if all goes very well with timing, hopefully I can trot my way over to Paris for a day or two. Really, I just want to see the Eiffel Tower; cry; drink coffee & eat a croissant in a French cafe; weep; and take pictures of Paris at night. That's it. Then head back to Dublin and leave the 21st. I know this won't be my last time in Europe so I'm not very concerned with doing a crap-ton of things, ya know?

ALSO! I'm working on starting a fashion blog. I want to go into fashion journalism so what better way to get my name and material out there than start a blog! I already have ideas on content and stuff but I can't seem to figure out a name. I want it to stand out and really signify who I am as a person and how I want to be perceived. If you have any ideas, please send them to me! Even if you think it's silly as all crap, send it anyway. Uniqueness thrives when someone has the guts to say or do something that isn't the norm. So yeah! Any help wil do! I also need to figure out a site design so if you're good with those sorts of things, let me know.

I have to be going now! I'm meeting with some friends for adventure times and I need to figure out something to wear. Hahaha!

Till Next Time... :)

Final Thoughts on Year 20 of My Life...(Mini-blog)

20 was an interesting year to say the least.

I made a lot of decisions in my life, I traveled a little bit, I made amazing friends. Most importantly, however, I became a lot bolder. Out of all the years I've been alive, 20 was perhaps the year that I was most self-assured. I know who I am, or at least a large deal of who I am. I know who I want to be and I know where I want to go in life.

For year 21, it will be the year of change and transition; starting with my trip to Ireland in January.

It's going to be awesome.

I'll try and keep you posted.

Goodbye 20! Hello 21...and WINE! hahahaha!

Till Next Time...

P.S. But seriously. Wine.

Welcome To My Brain (Stream of Consciousness)

UGH. I knew once I got back into NC that my blog writing would suffer lol Actually I didn't but I suspected it and I feel like if you expect it even a little bit, it just kind of happens.

Anyways, DC was awesome. I'm pretty sure I lost so much weight and I have legs of steel now. But I'm glad I went even though I feel like I could have stayed at least another day longer. I loved the freedom to be able to do whatever I felt like at the moment. It was much like being on my own which I really enjoy. Sometimes being here I feel like I'm not as independent as I wish I was. I know it's silly but it's the truth.

In other news, I plan on planning a few more trips just to keep my mind fresh. There's a chance I'll be heading to the western parts of NC in a couple of weeks and I hope (fingers crossed) to make a trip to New York before the year is out. I heard that the train ride there is wonderful. Long but wonderful still. :) ALSO, I'm really planning carefully to make a trip to Europe by the new year! Like for real. True story. If things work out, and I plan correctly, I should be able to do it. I will sacrifice my shopping for it which is a big deal!

I am a traveller. Body and soul. I have come to accept that. Therefore, I need to satisfy my need for travel! Hopefully these trips won't just be solo trips and I can convince people to come with me! Introverts need people too ya know.

Gosh, this is such a random post. I'm literally just typing as I'm thinking. You're getting a peek into my brain, guys. Welcome. I hope it's cozy enough for you.

Oh and happy August!!! It's the first day of my favourite month!!
If you don't know why it's my favourite month, we're not friends anymore.
(Just kidding...but really, you should find that out)

The semester also starts this month which is just wonderful lol I'm actually downgrading this semester and only taking 2 online classes (waitlisted for one more though). I felt like it was best with all this financial aid drama because the last thing I want is to be footed with a bill that is above my means, ya know?

There's a lot of other things coming up for the future and I can't wait to share everything here. I really do love this blog and the people that read it. It means a lot to me that there are people who value my words and want to stay updated with my life and with my thoughts. So thanks again :)

Till Next Time...
