Relationships.
Im not rushing into anything. This is MY year and Im celebrating myself. If a guy conflicts me in any way, I will discontinue any contact. No more dogs flirting with my friends. No more "Can we be friends with benefits" (thought that never happened to begin with.) If I have to contradict myself and my beliefs to be with him, then I should NOT be with him. I dont mind being single. It can be me and God for the rest of my life. Im fine with that.
Friends.
I've always been a pretty optimistic person. If I sense a negative vibe from anyone, I will excuse myself from their prescence. Im speaking my mind from now on. If I dont want to do something, I wont. If you dont like it, good-bye. Life is too short, and I refuse to spend minw with people that's tryin to hold me back.
Fashion.
I have been lucky to have to opportunity to live in Virginia for a couple of months where I attended college at Hampton University. There were people from every region of the United States, so I got to see how different people dress. Before, I was content with wearing jeans, a shirt, and some flats. Now, I am going to pretend as if my clothing is my poetry. I will express myself inwhat I wear. Im not following any trend, or rules. If people dont like it, its fine. As long as I am happy with it.
School.
Procrastination is over. I am an English major with plans to attend one of the top law schools in the country. I want to be the best at what I do, so I will work hard at it. No less than a 3.5 Gpa is my goal. I will read more books. I am no longer afraid of Toni Morrison. haha. :)
This year is MY year. My mentor told me that she feels this will be a
great year for me and I received it. Im ready to take ACTION!
