Changes.

Everything is different this year. And I mean everything. My friends changed. My priorities changed. My habits changed. Everything that was not supposed to change also changed. I don't know if it is for the better or worst. I used to be a sad little child last year, studying (and procrastinating) and complaining about the marks I am getting, and worrying obsessively about getting into law school. Being social was not in it for me. This year, my first initiative was to be social. It came before my academic goals. I have made many new friends this year. I have attended many events this year. I have done a few crazy things as well. I have done things I normally wouldn't in my sane mind. Nothing wrong, though. If that's what your dirty minds are thinking already. I used to heavily rely on other people for everything. In the end, I was left alone neglected, sometimes hurt. I think being on your own is the biggest accomplishment for anyone. Being stable, being able to not be the person who has to vent or let go, or publicize their life. I barely tell anyone what's wrong now. I keep it to myself. And this way, less things are wrong lol. I must say, life is better this year. In fact, it is great. I am listening to Hoobastank right now - The Reason is You.

"I am not a pefect person. There's many things I wish I didn't do. But I continue learning." - and I think that's what matters. As long as you keep learning and using that further to not make those same mistakes. It's surprising to me that I am living life these days. Haha, I waste time, listen to music, eat what I want, not study for tests like 2 weeks before. I have a paper due on Tuesday, I haven't started it. I don't even know what my topic is. But I am not sitting here crying about it. I am not calling people and asking for advise about what THEY think is right in this situation. I emailed my teacher, and said I realize this is last minute but can I come to your office tomorrow because I am struggling to even start. And she gave me an appointment. I used to be such a freak last year. Worrying about the smallest things in the world, which now seem funny to me. I also have a test on Tuesday (5 chapters) which I haven't started. Now that's not something I am proud of, but I will start working on it tomorrow. Drifting from the academics, I wanted this blog post to be about me. And the changes I've made to myself and my life. And I feel good about it. For the first time, I can say I am content with life :) Thank you, God for the blessings and this wonderful life.

Those of you who also complain a lot, please take the time out to think that we have been blessed with a life which than many others dream of, or see as a privilege. It's true when they say "Life is as easy as you make it." I am glad I made good choices this year =)
