Took me a long time to settle on a color and even longer to stop being lazy and actually do it. It got done and then three weeks later I moved out. Oh well. It was nice while I lived there!

How I did it: I had been wavering on doing it for years and always used the excuse of being too expensive to do it to get me out of it. Then the opportunity arrived where I could go with no cost to me so suddenly I had to completely make up my mind. I decided I needed to do it in order to prove several things to myself. So I went with my group, I was first up, and first out. It was surprisingly easy to walk out of the plane into thin air - kind of surr… Read how I did it…
At some points being selfish can be good. It is easy to over extend yourself and get nothing in return. That is why I decided to become more selfish. I succeeded but then it got a bit out of control. I’m not saying that will happen to everyone but in my case it happened and I am still trying to stop being so greedy and self-obsessed. Just be careful when you attempt to do this.
I recently went on an adventure to go pick up a puppy with a few of my coworkers.I never knew that being trapped in a moving vehicle with two other girls and a dog would be one of the most hysterical, rewarding things I have ever done. You learn so much about those people and about yourself that you never return home the same person. It’s very fulfilling. Totally do this!
