Hi There.........

Tomorrow is going to be my and my boyfriend’s one-year anniversary. Although I would have liked for us to do something uber romantic and over-the-top, he and I decided to take the more cost-efficient route and go to Six Flags with the year pass my mom got us. Cheap, free, and fun. Eh. I mean, it doesn’t have the scenic, beachy, sexy mood I had hoped for.. but I suppose anything with him will be amazing.

I’m just excited to start telling people who ask that I’ve been in a relationship for one year. ONE YEAR. It sure does sound better than eight or nine months. It’s crazy. I’ve spent a year of my life with this one guy, and what’s even crazier is that.. I can never picture my life without him now. I couldn’t even fathom it. Cheesy I know, people tell me all the time “Aww it’s young love”.. but it’s so much deeper than that.

My life has changed so much with Austin; it’s like he’s a part of me now. He’s my best friend, my next-door neighbor (which is pretty sweet and convenient- gives me the advantage to see what hes doing at all times and saves money on gas THANK GOD) and my “lover”. So cliche blah blah. Well I hope he and I have fun tomorrow, the end.

Scared

My future scares me; every time I envision it, all I think of is financial setbacks.

“If I move out now, I will regret not using the money to save up for a condo…But forget all of that, because as soon as I graduate, I will be bombarded with school loans. And what if I don’t find a decent job right away to pay off these loans? Then my credit score will turn to sh*t… then I definitely won’t have anything to call my own.”

I have so much I want to do with my life; I want to travel, I want to be cultured, I want a career, a family, stability… But I feel like I can’t do anything if I don’t have the financial means.

My mom laughs at me every time I bring it up. Yeah, I have a job, I don’t have a kid, I don’t pay rent, but, what if I still don’t make it financially?

We all have one life to live, and I want to live it right. I don’t want to be indebted to anyone, and I don’t want to work forever. I don’t want to be another divorce statistic, and I don’t want to be a typical American over-consumer.

I’m scared of what the future holds.

Minor Adventures: So, This Is It?

Kudos to you, and the best of luck to your future ahead.

From this post, I can tell you are ready to graduate. It’s extremely well-written; you have a great active and personal voice… and I was sitting next to you as you were writing this blog, it took you no more than a good 10 minutes. I find that really impressive. I don’t even know you well and I’m excited for you. I am just as anxious about my future as you are, but as for me, I still have one more year of Cal Poly. I look forward to reading more of your posts!!

Last week, I started the beginning of the end.

Five long years, and dozens of trees wasted in the form of notes and printouts, I have reached the pinnacle of my college career. So this is what the beginning of the end feels like.

When I finally realized that I had registered for my last quarter…

Okay, this is getting ridiculous now.

Tuesday, Sept. 27 7:25 p.m.

I, like most people, am connected to multiple social networks. I have an email account, a Twitter, Myspace account (I know, so 2006), a Facebook…

And now I have this. 

I’ve heard about this Tumblr thing before; more and more I have noticed my Facebook friends link their Tumblr posts onto their Facebook walls, and random pictures of Parisian ads, brooding quotes, and hometown hotties took over my feed. “I am never going to make a Tumblr,” I had told myself again and again. “It’s such a waste of my time.” 

Then, as a part of our weekly blogging assignment, professor Spoon had our class make a Tumblr.

 This site gives me anxiety; luckily I had my Xanax prescription filled… because I literally thought I was going to have a moment. I don’t get it, the hashtags, the re-blogging, all these pictures on my dashboard. Plus, I think I have made it easy for anyone to stalk me given the six social networks I now have.

So I decided to delete my Facebook, it eased my soul a little. No more worrying about the new sidebar the site created that gives my friends up-to-date information of what pictures I’m “liking.”

Well, I could go on a longer rant, but I have to listen to my professor now. 

Until next time,
