What is "I am 23 Now What?"
I am creating this blog to shine a light on a story not to many are
willing to share or show. A story about where do you go when you realize that time
has not stood still and you are where you started 4 years ago.
A tale about not following the college timeline that you or others
had mapped out so nicely that it becomes untouchable.

I am 22 and Now What?
7/9/2014
I am 22 and now what?? Who do I want to be?? Shouldn't I had that all figured out by now I mean sheesh I was supposed to have my bachelor’s degree this year. I remember my MAJOR when I started my freshman year in 2009 it was going to be INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS with a MINOR in MARKETING. Sounds impressive right? Sounds like my future was bright paved on a yellow brick road with 24kt gold pieces sprinkled all through it. LOL. If only I could go back in time. Unfortunately that not an option I have at this moment, for example in this present moment I am 22 years old with barley six credit hours to her name, who lives at home with her parents, single, who credit score is not so pretty, and is barley working full time. Sounds horrible right?
While knocking at my door is a new year 2014 happy, excited, and anxious to meet me. Whereas here I am trying to figure out what now…I am 22…where do I go from here…and who do I want to be? And to be frank I don’t know the answer to any of these questions. Though I do know I am going to be alright with all these provoking questions in my head, at this very minute I have a humongous smile on my face right now with a feeling of confidence that fills my whole being. For the reason that success isn't about winning all the time it’s about staying in the game.
Life put’s you through hardships, trials and tribulations, down split paths of right and wrong, testing you on every level, and challenging any morals you may have left at that point of time. I am not a perfect soul but I am human. I have made many of mistakes and I don’t regret any of them because they made me into the person I am today. I am creating this blog to shine a light on a story not to many are willing to share or show. A story about where do you go when you realize that time has not stood still and you are where you started 4 years ago. A tale about not following the college timeline that you or others had mapped out so nicely it becomes untouchable.
I make an effort to smile and laugh every day and you should too. Try it you will be amazed about how hard it can be sometimes. My dad told me that you got to take it one day at a time in addition to putting all you can into that day. You just have to keep moving forward while going to bed knowing you have done your best. With that you can appreciate the good days and before you know it they will out way the bad ones. Yes I told you part of my story but along with that is my present story at this very moment. And I used my dad’s advice to get me to this moment right here. I am able to say that I paid my school tuition bill myself so I could re-enroll back into school for spring of 2014, I have registered for classes, and start school on January 6th, 2014. I got a new job that I had started in September that is less stressful, I’m off by 7:30 most nights, have my weekends off, holidays as well, and my own space with my name on my desk. I am happy and accepting being single. Not to say that it’s easy but it’s not as hard as many think. Along with all of that I figured out who I want to be and I have to thank and credit MTV series AWKWARD. They pretty much summed it all up for me. Below I posted what Jenna character had shed light on last night episode.
So with that all being said in my blog you will find stories about me that are personal about life, love, school, and most of all a voice to say its ok not to know exactly where you want to go in life. My tattoo say “Live as it’s your Last.” So just do that and take one day at a time you will be surprise what all can happen in 24 hours.
I am 22 years old and now what?
Who I want to be:
Someone who can forgive
Someone who cares more about others than them self
Someone who tells it like it is
Someone who will give up everything for the right reasons
Someone who is a true friend
Someone who always tries to be a better person
Someone who see the best in everyone
Someone who longs for no mistakes
To be a girl who doesn't need a boy to be happy because I’ll know how to dance all on my own.
