randomness and happiness

One little change has the ability to affect our lives so greatly, make us happier, and I didn't even realize that until recently. Just a semester ago, I found myself miserable with school, not grade wise, just content wise. My grades were where I wanted them but being at that university was just a miserable experience. And sure, living on campus that first year was great.

But now, I found myself smiling when I wake up. Believe me, my life isn't easy. My course load is difficult and there is so much reading even this soon in the semester but that isn't bothering me. It's helping me become a better student, opening my horizons. And I have so many credits to fulfill in the next two years since I'm a double major, Early Education and English and going through the licensure program. So there's a lot to do but I'm enjoying it. And I'm going to need to take winter courses during winter break later this year but all of that is okay with me because I feel blessed. I am at a school where I genuinely feel happy. It's been a while since I felt complete with my life as a whole. And sure, stressful times will come. But when you have the privilege to feel happy with you life, you take those stressful times with stride because it will pass.

It took me a little while to get to a place where I truly feel happy with my life, with myself and the people around me.

happy with my life

it's been awhile since I wrote anything but.....

I am so happy. It's been awhile since I felt content with everything going on in my life let alone happy. Sure, there are some days where I'm frustrated because I'm having a bad day but overall, I find myself smiling and happy.

tomorrow starts classes and I couldn't be happier. I have two classes with my best friend<3 she's been my best friend since high school and we are inseperable. she's the reason I survived high school. a lot of people say that you lose touch with your high school friends but we haven't.

and over break, I have been getting over my biggest fear. driving. some people laugh but a few years ago, I was in an accident with my grandparents and I've had bad anxiety in cars ever since. so over break I got my permit and have been driving and I PARALLELED PARKED PERFECTLY. I know this isn't a big deal to some but it is to me and made me so happy.

Oh and on Wednesday, RHeart Radio did a segment to my hero and she called in and I got to talk to her. Can we not? It was so special for me. She's so special to me always<3

I just find myself so happy, smiling and just thankful for my life. I couldn't be happier.
