You Are The Best Thing In My Life

I was told by multiple people that the friends you make in high school don't last long after high school. Over the years your friends will fade. On the other hand those you make in college will be with you for a lifetime. I sure hope that isn't 100 percent true. I love my friends in college, but I also love my friends from high school. I do not want to lose my friends from high school. Shoot, all of them helped me to shape who I am today. They all helped me become the lady I am turning out to be. They taught me to love, laugh and live. I cannot picture myself without having the friends I did in high school.

My friends in college have pushed me to better myself as a human being. I learn to be truthful and honest with myself and others even if it means that others are going to be hurt in the process. It sucks and maybe I shouldn't be that way, but wouldn't you rather know that someone was completely honest with you rather than lying to you? I would take the truth. They have taught me that I am my own way to happiness. I should rely on no one else to be happy. If sitting in my room for days on end (it does not happen) make me happy then I should do it. I should not be sorry for anything that I do that makes me happy. If I want to be the only one laughing at a joke then so be it. I will do so. 

Ultimately, in the end, my friends taught me to be me. 




May Blog Challenge: Day 1

Me? In 250 words? Definitely not enough words. :)




Born in Grand Rapids, MI on January 5th. Cut myself from the nose to the eyelid with a licenses plate (still have my eye and can see).  Had my first teacher crush in 4th grade.  Lived in my favorite house until I was 10 years old.  Then I got the worst news of my life.  “We’re moving”.  From that moment on, I will never be the same again.  My family and I packed up all of our things and moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.. very tip I should add.  Left my best friend and all my family in the place I still call home.  Parents bought a resort: restaurant, bar, and motel, in a little dinky town on the edge of nowhere.  Population 80 year around residence, so no one there was my age. I was forced to grow up faster than any kid.  5th grade was the worst year in school for me, I was the all famous “new kid”.  Hated it.  Middle school is where I met two of my best friends ever, Joe and Rachelle.  High School was better and I changed my outlook on where I lived and sucked it up until I graduated.  I had to find happiness in where I was or it was all going to go downhill.  After graduation, I left the UP to go to school at Ferris State University where I am working on earning my bachelor’s degree in Advertising/Integrated Marketing Communications.  


Well, I did it! :)
