My Year so far...
11 years ago
General
Alright, so I thought it would be prudent for me to reflect on how 2015 has been going for me, and how well I have held up some of my resolutions. Also, I noticed that I've gotten a fair few new watchers, nice to meet you all! Feel free to throw me a note to chat whenever!
So far this year has been very busy for me in terms of schoolwork (yuck!), but also being social, which has made me feel MUCH better compared to how I felt around this time last year. All my weekends have been full of things to do, and I've even had some busy and fun weekdays after school! It's been so great to be busy by having fun! I've even been to three furry events other than the Bowling Green meets this year: A furbowl in Cincinnati-- though it was kind of strange since I literally didn't know anyone there and my social skills are still not quite as astute as I'd like them to be, another in Lexington -- which was a bit better since I kind of know the KYfurs and was able to say hi to a few, and I hung out with
Fenris_The_Firecat in Louisville on Saturday. My goal is to keep all my weekends busy with some social activity so that I can avoid being depressed.
Unfortunately, one thing that has been a bit more difficult is quitting smoking. Today I relapsed and bought some cigarettes (albeit American spirits without additives). I never imagined that it could be so difficult to quit this bad habit; the cravings can be very terrible, like one of the worst feelings ever honestly x.x But on the bright side, I was able to hold out for nearly two weeks now, and I think after this pack I'll be able to either go longer without cigs or maybe even finally quit!
Monetary wise, I've been at about the same point pretty much. I had to spend a lot of money on traveling around to get to all those places listed earlier, but at the same time, I've made that money back through oddjobs and stuff, which worked out pretty well. Considering that I'm not taking any long trips soon, I should be getting some more money soon then!
My exercising has gone pretty well! Currently I'm doing about 40 push ups, which are way more than I've ever been able to do in my life, however, my goal is to get up to 50 in one set so my arms and shoulders can look a bit more pronounced. It does feel great to finally have some strength!
Socially, I think I'm a bit more gregarious, as I'm willing to at least introduce myself and say hi! For me this is a hell of a lot better since I remember being superrrrr shy two years ago xD I still have a long way to go though! My goal is to become a regularly social, and dare I say extroverted person by the end of May?! Hoping I can do it!
What else is there to say... I guess I'm starting to consider majoring in engineering or math when I get to college, because I really love those kinds of subjects. The logic in math has always been so cool to me! But I may also choose to go into a more scientific route; it really depends on what kind of job I could get when I get out of college.
Well, I think that's everything I wanted to spit out into this journal. I hope everyone is doing well! Let's all make this a good 2015!

Good to hear that you're losing weight though! I've never been overweight myself, but I want to be a little muscular honestly.
I'm sure once I can get over my phobia and start driving, I can get a job in Winchester or Lexington and really start hanging out. But this fear is stronger than my fear of falling (that one is so strong that I refused to ride up the Eiffel Tower and even video games make me wobble).
A flatter belly is all I really want, I want to look good in mesh and feminine clothing.
That sounds like a good idea dude. Driving is scary at first, I honestly thought I'd never be able to make it on the big roads, but it's bearable as long as you take it one step at a time. If I may ask, do you know what causes your fear of driving? I'd be interested in hearing that.
Yeahhh xD I feel that last one, if I could lose a bit on the belly, I'd really love my body to death then haha.
I have absolutely no idea why I lock up and get scared. I've talked to just about everyone in my family and all my friends and nothing came up. I have no reason to be scared but I am and I can not fight if I don't know what I'm even fighting.
But totally, if you have questions about college or anything, hit me up. Hopefully I'll be able to answer them.
Sorry to hear quitting smoking is an uphill battle. Best of luck with that
And yeah, the smoking thing is pretty hard to get rid of. It's not even the fact that I enjoy smoking that much, but I guess it's the nicotine and little breaks from the day I've associated with it.
Thanks for the comment!
But still, even if one were to go in undeclared, that doesn't mean they can't dabble in classes they think they would be interested in majoring in. That's what I did. My first semester I took Computer Science 170 and liked it. Advisers are great because they'll put stuff into perspective and help you make good decisions. There really isn't as much pressure as it seems.
I hope that was some kind of help :)
I would definitely like to dabble in a few classes, and honestly if I found something I really enjoyed, I would definitely change my major. I am lucky to have a good amount of time to kill there too, since I don't have to worry about getting a ton of classes out of the way immediately. I really appreciate the insight dude! This stuff has been on my mind for quite a bit.
Glad to hear you're upbeat and positive about school, and life in general. My advice is to kick the smoking habit asap; the longer you wait the harder it will be, and you're waayyyyy too young to get stuck with that burden (and it will become a burden). Commit to quit and the rest of it is all in your head - you can do it!
I try to stay positive, because it's pretty easy to have a cynical outlook on life honestly. The smoking is definitely annoying me; I wish I had never started it in the first place, since knowing how enjoyable (sadly) it is makes it very hard to stop. I really don't want to drag it on too long of course, so I'm probably going to wean myself off of it (quitting cold turkey is very aggravating).
Thanks for the message! It helps knowing other people are rooting for me!
