How I did it
It made me
Relieved 
How I did it: I stopped procrastinating and forced myself to take the online test until I was getting at least 90% every time. Also, seeing my friends who are already getting their Ns (I could have had mine by now) added to the "motivation". I forced myself to set a date (January 30th) and made a friend of mine hold me accountable and ask me random questions. He also came with me to take the test. I feel so much better now!

It made me
Feel feminine
How I did it: I bought skirts, and I wore them, and I didn't care what anyone thought of them! First of all, I started working out my legs and buying cute patterned tights and boots. I made sure to get skirts that were practical and that fit my body well. And I invested in good pieces. The most important thing was I gave myself a lot of skirt options. When my skirts started to outnumber my jeans, I was almost "forced" to wear them more, and became more… Read how I did it…
It made me
More confident
How I did it: It took several months because it's a habit you have to develop. Most habits take 29 days to make or break. I just had to be extremely focused on it. Also, knowing that it strengthened and toned my abs at the same time helped motivate me. Read how I did it…

I found my text!! It’s the Latin translation of John 4:16 – God is love.
Gotta start somewhere, yes? I’m sick with strep throat right now but when I’m better I’m going to start actually recording it. If anyone wants to give me a free version of Finale I will love you forever.
It all started with a car ride. My best friend and I were complaining about how we never go anywhere on spring break. Her mother was sitting in the front seat of the car, and asked,
“Well, where would you like to go?”
We both turned to each other and screamed, “PARIS!”
Thinking nothing of it, I was completely shocked when two weeks later, our mothers were on the phone seriously discussing hotels and flights. I’d always wanted to go to Paris since I was a little girl. I didn’t know how I would get there or when I would go, but I remained firm in my resolve. Even though my family could have used the money for something else, they chose to put it towards sending me to my dream. If this seems like a farfetched hope for you, don’t give up. You never know who’s going to hear your speak your dream and make it happen.
