Worldwind!

I haven't posted in ages and I am finally in a good place where I have some things to discuss.

Since graduating in May I have been trying to figure out what I want to do with my life.What is the next step for me? Where do I want to live? Who is going to be involved with my journey? I have had to look inward at myself and truly get to know myself better than I ever have. I had to ponder what I really want out of life. After a long stretch of time and lots of thinking, I am making the step to try to become a Regional Leadership Consultant for my sorority. The most fun I had in college was with my sisters and meeting all of the other Greeks. I don't know if I will get the position, but I am really looking forward to trying my best to achieve my goal! I love my sorority and still talk to some of my sisters from college. I try to live my life with the values of my sisterhood! Being a sorority sister has given me the chance to work through difficult situations, and learn from a variety of different types of girls! I am so excited to put myself out there and take hold of this opportunity. I have been waiting for a job where I can travel and meet new people and this is the perfect job for me!

In other news, I have been working at my part-time job and trying to make as much money as I can.Since I graduated 6 months ago, the loan payments have been coming in at a steady pace! Its not fun to see how much you owe the Department of Education but I am learning how to budget my money and trying to get my loans paid off in a decent time frame. I have heard too many stories about people that are "past the point of no return" and owe a lot more money than initially requested. I definitely don't want to be in debt for any extended period of time. Although the payments stink I feel like I am taking control of my life and trying to be more independent. I don't really depend on my Mom for anything.. besides dinner since she makes some delicious food!!

My guitar playing has been non-existence since it is out of tune and I have no time and no motivation. I got a new book and DVD so I am hoping to really get back into playing and start to play songs especially for Christmas. I would love nothing more than to be able to sing for my family and friends! I love music but I just haven't put in the time and effort yet to be able to succeed! I will get there but at this very moment I am not. I know that my writing this now I will make a promise to myself to start practicing regularly.

Other than working, a potential new job and my guitar playing, I have been trying to hang out with my friends and just take time to enjoy my time with them. I love just going for walks or coffee. Honestly, I don't really care what I am doing I just love being around my friends and enjoying their company and laughter! Its so fun to talk about old stories and just weird random things that happen each day.

In the BIG PICTURE of life, I am on my way to greatness. I knew the road would be tough but I wasn't sure how tough. I am finally getting motivated and am going to make my dreams come true. I know that I can do anything that I put my mind to and I intend to do so! I love my family and friends and really can't complain about my life because things could always be worse. I feel truly blessed each and everyday..

I really need to get back to make regular posts. Let's add this to the list of things to improve on :)

Until next time..
