Someday IS Today

This is my new motto for life. I always find myself saying, "Someday I will do this" or "Someday I will do that" WELL, SOMEDAY IS TODAY!! Why do we tend to put off our big dreams in life. I find myself putting many things on the back burner, but you know what, I'M DONE! If you remember, a little over a year ago I set 24 goals for myself to complete before my 24th birthday. I am sad to say that I failed at it. I accomplished a few of them, but the ones I really wanted to accomplish didn't happen. I use the earthquake as an excuse but I can't do that anymore, I just flat out failed. Am I upset with myself, yes, but I learned from it, too. I realized that maybe I need to make a smaller, more realistic list of things that I am actually passionate about. Seriously, not eating chocolate, not drinking carbonated beverages....WHO REALLY CARES? It doesn't even really benefit me in any way. So for this next year of my life here is what I will start working towards:

1. Playing the Guitar-- I LOVE music! I love to sing and I really would love to be able to back myself up. I'm hoping that if I get good at the guitar I will get the guts to do some open mic nights!
2. Run a Half Marathon-- Last year I ran a 10K and said I wouldn't run anything longer than that EVER. Well, I changed my mind! :) There is a half on October 22nd that I have started training for. I am beginning my 3rd week of training and am going strong!
3. Become a Proactiv Spokesperson-- Now, you are probably thinking to yourself...REALISTIC???? But, I'm serious! I absolutely love this product. Last year I was really struggling w/ acne and my confidence level was slowly going down. I pretty much felt like a 12 year old little boy! That's a problem for a 23 year old woman! I started using Proactiv and it helped my skin tremendously. I want to be able to "share the wealth" if you will and let other people know that yes, this does help! It may take longer than a year to accomplish but keep your eyes open, I may just appear on your TV next to Justin Bieber or Katy Perry!

Those are the big 3 that I can think of right now. Oh and grad school, that one is obvious though. Of course I would like to succeed at that! I will be getting my master's in Special Ed with a specialty in Emotional/Behavioral Disorders. I don't really know what to expect from this year, but I am so ready for it! I don't really care what gets thrown at me cause I can guarantee you that I will do anything to catch it!
