I won't make the post long or boring like previous posts because let's be real, I don't even want to read more than a paragraph of my own blog posts. So who else would want to either? I have definitely grown up from the last post. I found more of who I am, what I want to do, how I go about things, and more. Basically to keep it short and simple, I'll bullet list the updates....
- I traveled my second to last semester of my Associates Degree to England for a study abroad. I LOVED it, 100% loved it. I'd go back in a heart beat, even if it meant a crappy job in a crappy flat. I now realize I want to travel the world and see all it has to offer!
- I graduated in December of 2013 with my Associates Degree in General Education from Salt Lake Community College.
- I took two years off from college to find out what I wanted to do for my Bachelor's Degree and to just live life. Definitely taught me about who I am, who I want to be, and how to get there.
- I moved out with my best friend, Savannah, for a year in the Sugar House area of SLC. It was a wonderful experience and definitely brought us closer together as friends, even though we wanted to kill each other some days. I truly love that woman with all my heart.
- I moved back home with my wonderful parents and I enjoy it. They are my favorite old people and spending time with them is one of my favorite things to do. Plus I wanted to save money not paying rent every month.
- The University of Utah Hospital hired me as a CNA on the Neuro Acute Care Unit. It has been a wonderful, tough, and educational experience working in the hospital. I love my job, even on bad days, I love it.
- I figured out what I want to do for my Bachelor's Degree, I found a passion worth pursuing in education, TRAVEL. I was accepted in spring of 2015 to the University of Utah where I am majoring in parks, recreation, and tourism with an emphasis in sustainable tourism. I have completed a year in the program and I'm scheduled to graduate (if all things to according to plan) in May of 2017. This makes me beyond the world excited!
- Last Halloween, I got an adorable new dog, Loki the Yorkie. He is my first male dog and my world. I never knew 7 lbs could rule my life but man, he does. Juno isn't as excited as my mom and I but she knows we will always love her like we have.
- I became obsessed with Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and Marvel within the last year. I own so much merchandise from them. It's insane.
- I became a volunteer for Salt Lake Comic Con and Sundance Film Festival this last year, and I'm doing volunteering again this year. I thoroughly enjoy being part of such amazing events. To see them from "behind the scenes" and help put on these events for people who enjoy them is wonderful.
- I had a boyfriend for the first time in years for several months. In the end though, it wasn't meant to be and now I'm back to single status. I wanted a relationship or thought I did for so long that when it came, I realized I like being single and independent, mostly hanging with my close friends, family, or myself. Plus graduating next May will mean possibly moving next summer. So it'll be okay if I don't find a guy to date right now.
That pretty much describes my life updated from 2013. The little things like music festivals, concerts, trips, hair style changes, and an internship are in there as well but I don't need to say everything I've been up to. Maybe I'll blog more often than I have been. Happy Thursday! (:
P.S- here are some of my favorite pics over the years, enjoy!
