I’m currently in college to be a high school English teacher. Unfortunately I have to work my way through college, so I’m taking it slow, three classes a semester (the norm is 4) so I can work to support my apartment, my life, and tuition. Right now I’m in my third year, so I have about a year and a half to two years left depending on how many classes I can afford to take. It’s always been my dream, I’m just thankful I started right out of high school because this is taking forever!!

How I did it: After hitting the all-time heaviest weight I have every been at I decided it was time for a change. To be honest, it wasn't that hard. I had sunk into a routine of eating bags of chips for meals, eating fast food constantly rather than cooking/preparing a meal and drinking soda all day, every day. I completely gave up soda and limited myself to one bag of chips a week (they are my weakness!). I also didn't deny mys… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well I first wanted a tattoo when I was sixteen, but my mother insisted I wait until I turn 18 so that I had time to think about what I wanted.

I read a quote once that a tattoo should not just be a random thing, but should seem as though it surfaces from within, that it was there all the time and only just … Read how I did it…
How I did it: Oh, learning to smoke was the easy part. I dated a guy who loved to party, and I would always smoke around him because he was always trashed and smoking. After he dumped me, the habit stayed. I wish I could say that once we broke up he stopped hurting me, but it's two years later, and I'm trying to quit. Read how I did it…

I’m a waitress, so I started saving all of my change in August. By the time Christmas rolled around, I had almost 200 dollars in change to spend for Christmas!!
