The Start of Something New

I'm just living my life day by day.

The Start of Something New

When I was little, if someone had told me that life goes by in a blink of an eye, I would have not believed them. I'm 22 years old now, and let me tell you all; that old saying is very real. Ever since I could remember, I always got excited of the thought of graduating from college, getting my dream job of working at a top PR firm and marrying the man of dreams in Atlanta, Georgia in the perfect house and not worry about a single thing at all, such as being in debt. Fast forward to my life as of right now, I could not tell you where my life could be leading to.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

May 13, 2017, I will be graduating from college, with a degree in Communication Studies, and just like most students my age, I am in debt and I have no idea where my life is going to take me for my future occupation in PR. I had hoped by this time of my senior year, I would already have had multiple job offers, and so far I have had none. At this point, you may think that I am worried or disappointed in myself because I had dreams of having the perfect American dream by now. Well, to answer your question, I am absolutely not worried at all.

I may not be where I had wanted be, but I know that each day I am getting closer to where I am supposed to be. I am going to keep working hard to accomplish my dreams and by doing that, I will continue to get more experience in my field of study, network with others, and most importantly, keep positive. It's okay if everything is not going perfectly. That's life. Day by day, I am going to put every single worry that I have into God's hands. I know that he has a plan for me, so I just have to sit back, relax, and live in the moment.

At this time of my life, this is the start of something new. I can not continue to keep my head down because things are not going the way I want it to be. I know that at this point, every single struggle that I have, can only go up from here. In the upcoming years, I will work in one of the top PR firms in the nation, and that is when you will know that my dreams came true by working hard and having God, my family and friends by my side.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
