How I did it
It made me
tired 
How I did it: I was in key club for four years, student council for four years and I was a class officer for four years. Unfortuneately, I cannot really pick out a concrete thing that made my school better. However, I got a note along with some reimbursement checks today from our secretary thanking me for all the good deeds I did for the school. I was the first president of student council to ever be a junior. I was president again the year after. I pl… Read how I did it…
It made me
Mixed...
How I did it: I snuck out of a party my friend was having and sticky noted another friend's car. It was a vw beetle and it didn't take too long, but it was dark so it was kind of hard to see. I used 3 packs of sticky notes with 2 stacks in each one, and I didn't get the whole thing. I think she thought it was funny, but she seemed pretty pissed :/ I'm glad I did it though.

It made me
so so so happy! 
How I did it: I gathered all my art together and some easels, tape and a clothes rack. I rented out a small theater in my town and set up for about 3 hours before hand. I had food and punch there and invited all my friends on facebook. Then I sent out a reminder text the day before.

I have been doing yoga once a week for 3 months now and I am beginning to understand what yoga really means. It is a long term journey of self discovery and I feel that I am just beginning. Yoga is not exactly my favorite way to work out or even to center myself (I prefer swimming for my personal meditation) but I do feel the effects of the program I’m in. I think I’m going to continue for the rest of the school year and see where this takes me.
I have a direction and I most importantly know where I am not going to go. I am not going to be stuck, I am not going to sell my soul. I am going to be in debt, for a long time, but I’m going to pay it off eventually. I am going to be happy. I’ll be an artist or I’ll travel or I’ll design and build sets. I’m going to make things and I’m going to help people. I’m going to love and I’m going to learn. It clicked to me in class the other day. I just feel like I know, or I’m okay with not really knowing. It’s going to be an adventure.
