Peace Out Homestate, I'm Not Gonna Miss You

It's where I'm from, but it's not where I'm meant to stay

Peace Out Homestate, I'm Not Gonna Miss You

This may have been the state where I grew up, the place where my friends and family live, but it is not where I'm meant to be and for that reason, I'm not sad to leave.

For almost six months now I've been planning to move out of my home state and let me just say as time goes by I feel more at peace and content with my decision.

Which that isn't normally how I am, I don't plan stuff ahead, I stress out and made decisions last minute weighing every single pro and con first. Even after that sometimes I don't even make an actual decision, I just wait until it's made for me or I stress myself out over what could go wrong and just abandon the thought of change.

I am made the decision to move seven hours away from this place I called home for the longest time and I could not be happier about it.

Ever since I moved back to Missouri, I have dealt with extremely toxic and controlling family members and have been kicked down in about every way possible.

Just in these past six months I have went from nearly not having anywhere to live, to losing my car, losing a job I loved, switching to a job I hated, nearly losing my dog, losing two high school friends, selling my soul and working at my families company, been stolen from, and have even had my identity stolen twice, and that's all on top of the health problems I moved back here to deal with.

This past six month has been the worst of my life, but only better things can come next, or that's what I keep telling myself anyway.


I'm moving back to Indiana, not only can I get a fresh start, but I can live in peace without all the toxicity.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
