I'm doing 32 things
  

How I did it
How to become less jealous
It took me
2 years
It made me
stronger

How I did it: It took me a long time to see that I was acting that way, and when I did, I definitely wanted to change it. I was the jealous girlfriend, and that's never a good person to be. I was controlling and angry a lot. I feel so much better now that I've mellowed out. I just want to be better and focus on myself now. Other people are great, but I shouldn't let what they have, or do affect me. Read how I did it…

How to be more creative
It took me
8 months
It made me
realize my skills

How I did it: College classes were really what motivated me. I mean, when it's for a grade, I definitely have to step up to the plate and get the job done. Then I started doing it just for personal pleasure and I found that photography is a hobby that I enjoy a lot. I feel like I have talent in both shooting and editing.

How to get a decent job
It took me
3 weeks
It made me
proud to be employed

How I did it: I had been thinking of getting a job for a while, but I was worried about having a full time school load as well as keeping up with a good job. In addition to that I was afraid that my hectic school schedule would turn off any potential employers. Fortunately I found this internship at an accounting firm. They are willing to work around my schedule, and I will be full time for the summer. And the best part is that the internship is ongoin… Read how I did it…

Finish my mosaic box
My grandfather 8 months ago

made a wooden box with his own two hands.
I found it in the garage around December. It is sturdy, but has definite signs of aging.

My plan is to create a mosaic tile design on the top, and then sand and stain the rest of it.

I began laying down the tiles, but then went back to school after break, and haven’t had much of a chance to finish it yet.

The design is a white tree, and I like it a lot.

I really hope to be able to build upon what my granddaddy made.

I never got the chance to meet him because he died of cancer before I was born, but I feel like this is my way of connecting with him.

learn more languages
My two roommates 8 months ago

are Bulgarian.
They speak it all the time and they have their friends over as well, and I would love to be able to learn the language and converse with them.
I am picking up a little bit, but I really hope that I get the chance to travel to Bulgaria with them next summer and really be pushed into the culture and language.

become more flexible
I mean this in two ways 8 months ago

I want to become more flexible both mentally and physically.
I need to be able to relax my mind and try to see things in other perspectives.
It would be nice to be able to be able to be physically flexible just like when I was younger and in gymnastics.
