How I did it
How to become a big sister
It took me
1 month
It made me
glad

How I did it: I applied initially to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program via the website, then had an interview at my local office.  It was about two weeks before I heard back from them, but my references and background check went well, so I was accepted.  I was matched with a 'little' in the school-based program, meaning that I only have contact with him on school-grounds at a scheduled time.  I was so nervous to meet my little!  … Read how I did it…

How to steal a milk crate
It took me
1 week
It made me
stealthy

How I did it: I use milk crates as storage containers for books, since they aren't so large that they become too heavy when full of books, they stack nicely, and they have lovely handles.  After eating at my favorite Chinese place downtown, I went for a stroll through an alley behind a bakery.  There were four or five empty crates, so I picked one up and casually walked to my car.  End of story.

How to decide on a major
It took me
3 years
It made me
ambitious!

How I did it: I spent my first two years of college just kind of drifting in the realm of undeclared majors, but I think I knew all along that I'd be majoring in English.  I took a few different aptitude and value tests to see what I was most suited for, and - big surprise - my skills, interests, and values were centered around writing.  I took my sweet time officially declaring my major, but I did this week, and I could not be happier about it.

Beat my depression (read all 18 entries…)
Untitled 1 week ago

I feel like such a fuck up. I really can’t handle anything. I’m in my fourth year of college but nowhere near graduating because my transcript is littered with F’s and I haven’t told anyone about it so my parents just think I’m behind because I take less classes because I work full time because I live on my own so they try to help by offering their financial help so that I could work less and focus on school more, but I don’t even want to be in school anymore, I want to give up because I don’t care about school because I have no motivation and I’m wasting my time and money and lying to the people in my life and in the meantime, I spend twelve+ hours a day sleeping and at least one hour crying. It’s my own fault.

Beat my depression (read all 18 entries…)
Untitled 1 week ago

Looking over my other goals here really makes me realize that pretending to be positive and ambitious is nothing like actually being positive and ambitious. I guess I wasn’t pretending so much as trying. Still.

If this winter turns into last winter I don’t know what I’ll do.
