I used to be a serial long-term relationship girl, but I haven’t been in a relationship for a good year and a half. A few (really hurtful) false starts, but nothing that stuck.
I ended the last good relationship I was in back in 2008. I ended it because I was young and stupid and took everything for granted. If I could go back, I would have shaken some sense into myself. Sometimes I don’t feel like I deserve to find a good relationship because I ruined my chances with the person who may have been my soulmate. Meanwhile, he’s in a relationship, and life isn’t a romcom – he’s not going to magically leave her for me if I pop back into his life after nearly 3 years.
I’m starting to feel like I have a better chance at mastering multivariable calculus than finding love (and advanced math is not my strong suit). Whenever I check Facebook, all I see are wedding photos and engagement announcements – and while I’m happy for my Facebook friends and love seeing their photos, it is a painful reminder that I missed the boat.
Step one: believing it’s possible. Here goes nothing.

I’m a full-time student who’s going to graduate with more student loan debt than I care to admit.
About a month ago, I got a part-time job (very part-time – like 10 hrs/week), which is helping me make ends meet. I put half my last paycheck in my savings, but have had to take some of it out already to avoid overdrafting.
I figure if I can put at least $100 of every paycheck into my savings, I’ll have about $1,300 by the end of the school year. Not a bad start, I guess. It would be really nice not to be a “hundredaire” anymore!

Years ago, I was way into strength training. I had some issues with my diet at the time, so I think it would be super-awesome to get back into it now that I’m healthy. I’m thinking of concurrently starting running as well, which is way out of character for me, but I want to give it a shot.
If only it weren’t so intimidating, though! I used to know all the things to do at the gym and could plan a routine easily, but now it’s like a foreign language I haven’t spoken in years.
