I'm at a weird crossroad in my life currently as I take myself into a direction that I both wanted and needed. For the first time since I graduated high school and six years of doing college I have finally put my foot down and taken a semester off from school. Sounds silly, but the decision was harder to make than it sounds. And now that I have achieved this well deserved break I look down the road and ask myself...what am I going to do with myself?

I do have a part-time job again and I'm making enough to keep myself afloat with a little on the side to have fun with. I find myself in a situation with many possibilities on the horizon and I have been racking my brain around as to what I would like to do with the time that I have given myself in the future. Playing PC games has always been a default pastime and so has been watching netflix, but I've reached a point where games and movies aren't satisfying me like they used to. I don't game any more than an hour a day because I get bored of it. They are still fun but they don't make me excited or hold my attention like they used to. So as a result, I've been thinking about things that I'd want to do before the next (and hopefully last) semester begins.

Learning German, learning how to program, getting back into music, working on getting myself into shape again are some of the biggest things that I've pondered doing on my spare time. Why not start now? Well....to put it simply, I have no desire to work on anything else while class is still in session. I have put my energy into trying to keep my schooling in order and it's put lots and lots of passion on the backburner with little left over for other things I'd want to do. Getting back into shape for example, is an activity I have tried to make into a routine many times over the past few years. And every time I try to get things on track I do it for a week or two and then it all crumbles because I'm either to tired or to frustrated to carry on. Granted I must admit I don't like working out. XD I just want to get my body back into decent shape. But it's the goals that matter most of all, and I'm really hoping that I can rejuvenate myself before I head back for my final semester in school.

I'm really excited and I'm not going to waste my time just playing video games and staying locked in my room. I'm going to live a little and and start doing the things that make life feel worth living. Not just working 30 hours a week and then going to class with tests, quizzes and papers hanging over my head.
