Where am I now?
Today is July 16th 2017. If you look back to this time last year I was not the most happiest person. But today I can say that I am VERY happy. Last summer my relationship ended and I was ok with that. Neither of us were truly happy, more of just dating to be in a relationship. But never mind that. In October I met a really sweet guy. At first I wasn't really giving him the time of day because I figured he was just another college boy that wanted to play with my heart. But I was wrong. It took quite a while for me to warm up to him and actually ask him to go bowling with me and my friends. After that day I really thought I blew it though. But on October 27th Lee took me out to Red Robbin for a dinner date. Later that night he kept hesitating to say something and that when I knew what he was going to do. I kept telling him to just say it, and that's when he did. October 27th is the day that my life did a 360 and I could not be more happy.
In the past nine months of being together, my life has turned into something I never imagined. First my schooling. My first year of college was really rough. I was at risk of academic probation. After Lee and I started dating my focus on school became priority. My grades improved tremendously! It was all due to Lee's dedication to school. Every night after work we would go to Engineering Hall to do homework so we didn't have any distractions. That helped me a lot. Even though I dreaded homework all the time. The second thing that changed is that I don't party anymore. I never really did but I did feel that I had to drink in order to fit in. Because of that I don't have any real friends down here. Don't get me wrong, I do have friends, just not the ones I hung out with my freshman year.
Its sad that people see me as the drama filled girl I was in high school. I have changed. Believe me or not that's your choice. But my outlook on life and how I handle things is completely different. Though I still have certain people from high school that are still trying to cause drama, I just look at them and what they are trying to do, smile, and move on. I am me and no one can be me better than myself. Love YOUR life for what it is.
In May, Lee and I signed the lease to our first apartment. It has been a crazy transition but something that has been really good for us. But that story is in a blog to come.
