growing up.


one year ago. this was one of my senior pictures.

and this was just about one month ago.

crazy how life changes. right? its official. i've been out of high school for about one year. and everyday i am more and more grateful for that. high school was not my favorite place. i dreaded waking up every morning to sit through class and have teachers lecture me about stuff i didn't care about. not only that, but to see the girls who thought they were the "queen bees" of place. gag me. towards the end of my senior year, it was even struggle for me to even step foot in some of classes. thanks to my mom and dad for pushing me to go and being able to graduate.

now. i'm done with my first freshman year in college. woohoo! in my opinion, college is billion times better than high school. i somewhat enjoy going. i learn stuff that i actually want to learn about. i get to decide my schedule, well, for the most part. best part of all, i dont get to see those girls who thought they were the "queen bees" of school. do i hear a hallelujah? HALLELUJAH!

i have more responsibilities. but so grateful for them. they can be a struggle for me. its only making me grow stronger each day. i finally feel like i'm growing up. and living life the way its supposed to be.

the other day, i was with a larger group of people. and some were throwing rocks at other people. yes, they are older than me. funny how a year ago i thought it would've been hilarious. but i caught myself rolling my eyes and getting super annoyed. feeling like i was in high school/ junior high again. -- well i guess that's a sign that i am having somewhat of maturity. no more rock throwing hahaha.

now i live by this concept/ quote: "Chapter one. Sometimes, despite your best efforts otherwise, life will give you lemons. When that happens, you've got two choices, friend: you can wear a sour face or make lemonade" - the movie, love happens.

so SHAKE-A-DOO. lets live life.
