The boyfriend and I carved pumpkins. I definitely say this is an art. We tried to overachieve and make a Phillies pumpkin..didn’t work out so well. The other 2 we made were just traditional pumpkin faces. I’d say it counts as creative though. We tried. I’m going to learn to be an expert pumpkin carver for sure.

How I did it: I went one by one through my goals. I decided to eithera) keep it how it wasb) delete it or give up (because maybe its not an interest of mine or won't happen in the next year or so)c) make goals more specific and suited to me.I ended up deleting about 10 goals forever but also turning vague goals into more specific goals for myself.

How I did it: I'm taking baby steps on this one..I don't do things alone..i just don't. Heck, i make my sister go to the post office with me..so it was a very big deal that I ate at Panera by myself. I know its not uncommon for people to go there by themselves..but for me it is. I just sucked it up..got some confidence..and went in..ordered..and sat down and ate and read. it was great..after I got over the fact that people might be staring at me and wo… Read how I did it…
How I did it: i just don't care much anymore. i think that people won't mistake me for a 16 year old if they even take 2 seconds to talk to me. so..not much i'm going to be able to do to look my age. i'll be loving looking young when im old. :) Read how I did it…

I’ve really been getting down because I feel like I’m getting so old! I’m 23..and I know that it’s not OLD..but still. I’m done with college and I’m wishing I could go back!! I feel like I wasted some precious time during the past 10 years of my life! I really want to make the most of the rest of my 20’s!! This is the time where I can be a little more free and be exactly who I want to be!
I feel like I’ve realized this alot more because I’ve been miserable for the past 6 months..as a result of my retail job. I hate it. I truly did. I thought it would be just a temporary thing but I can’t find anything! I’ve been wasting so much time being miserable and depressed..and that still hasn’t gotten me a better job that makes me happy to get up in the morning..so I’m embracing a go getter, positive attitude so that I’ll get a new job and not waste any more time!
just got a piano! I don’t have money so I’m going to attempt to teach myself with books, dvds, etc.
