New Life!

So just right now as I was about to write this post I realized it's a New Year and it's kind of like a New Year resolution, but it was not my original intent. Anywho, I am so ready to start my life anew. I have so many plans for myself. It’s a new year and a new semester!

Pretty much, it’s just a list of things I want to do this winter that I will do, if I really want to. I’m cleaning right now and I feel so good about it. When my mom told me I could paint my room I felt so good about it, and I know that it will make a difference to come into a clean room, and have me time. Yep this is going to be a great semester, no longer the days of bittersweet. No longer the days of being dependent on others. I am going to enjoy myself. I am going to live for me. I am going to just enjoy every moment of every day and not wait until spring semester, because it’s only as good as I make it. Well now, it’s time to listen to some good ol’ Glee, sit with Jack, and clean my room :).
