I probably should’ve thought about any sort of New Years resolutions I was going to have before December 31st…

Truthfully, I was in denial about how fast it went from being July to Thanksgiving… now tomorrow is the start of the new year and in some ways I feel like I have very little to show for it, but in others this was a pretty big year with a lot of lessons learned. (Such as…. Never drink when feeling any strong negative emotion. Period.)

Last night while having the weekly talk with my boyfriend of how our work schedules never seem to ever match up and how it’s stupid, when he asked why I’m so discontent with just going to sleep at night I realized it’s because I feel like I’ve wasted the entire day… sure, I’ve been at work all day, but I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished anything. That’s when I realized that the grocery industry is not for me and that I’m signing up for college classes today.

Years down the road the last thing I want is to look back and feel like I’ve completely wasted my life. My job is fine for now, for saving money and working towards goals… but long term it’s not for me.

So I resolve to get out of my comfort zone and make new things happen, to find what’s right for me, and to do more with the time that I have. Happy New Year.
