I need to stop worrying about my future career and the job I am to have when I am older. It is getting to the point where it’s making me sick to the stomach, the worrying. The uncertainty and unknown. I need to remember that no matter what job I hold, it will not be all of me. Jobs are not all of anyone. Only a small part. And I need to remember that no matter where I end up, I will have had a journey that is all my own.

How I did it: I've been driving (illegally) for about 5 months now to and from work, which I would not recommend. Haha. However, that is how I mainly learned to drive after my sister taught me enough driving skills not to kill anyone, or myself. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, my friend and I decided to walk to Jerry's at about 2 in the morning in the freezing cold, and on our way back from Jerry's a cop drove by us and offered us a ride home. We said sure, why not? It was extremely cold. My friend is only 16 and it was past his curfew, so we were slightly scared, but it turns out the cop knew our friend (and we were headed to her house), so it was all alright! Read how I did it…
This is still a work in progress for me, but something that has helped me a lot is just trying to convince myself that I will feel SO much better once it’s done (and I do!), but also setting time limits. I find that if I set out to do my math for an hour, and an hour only, i actually end up spending more time on it because I want to just finish it, which is great. The hardest part is starting :)
I am currently going to school and majoring in digital publishing. However, it seems that most of the classes in actual digital publishing that I need to start taking next semester are not available. I asked them why, and they do not know, really. Now, I don’t know what to do, as it is a major that is not available at most schools and I’m in an apartment with a year-long lease.
