Here I am.

Classes are officially complete. I moved out of my freshman dorm, and I'm ready to start my life back at home. Honestly, I feel like I am going to be really bored.

I feel like I am going from 100 MPH to nothing. I am afraid I am going to find myself with nothing to do. I usually spend my summers just lounging about and reading, but this year, it isn't something that I want to do.

That's why I am setting goals now.

Over the summer, I plan to start getting healthy by running and changing my eating habits. Walking hasn't been much of a problem because I had to walk all around campus in order to get to class. The problem has been eating healthy.

Once Marketplace, a major food place at Rowan, closed down, I was unable to eat as many vegetables as I am used to. So I am hoping to cook healthy food and make sure that I change my eating habits so that I can be healthier.

Besides getting physically healthy, I am hoping to get mentally healthy as well. This past semester has been especially hard on me mentally because I have felt extremely stressed and overworked consistently. So over the summer, I plan to spend time getting myself better.

I also hope to focus on my hobbies. I started embroidering and I hope to finish the patches that I started over spring break. I also want to work to make sure that I take time to step back and relax, to make sure I am doing this for myself.

This summer is not going to be one spent alone in my room doing nothing. Instead, it is going to be one where I continue to do things that will make me happy and keep my mind going so that I am okay with everything going on.

I am going to strive to keep myself positive because after multiple summers of just consistantly being sad, it's time to change.

I do think I have the attitute to do great things this summer.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
