So It Begins

Goodbye teendom! Only your lack of responsibilities will be missed!

To celebrate my birthday and to kick off my 5 year list, I've already checked off something on my list: indoor skydiving.
I am in Galtinburg, TN for a family reunion (my dad's parents and his siblings' families) and for my birthday we went indoor skydiving.
That is a picture I took of my aunt.
I saw something like this on TV and I've always wanted to try it. It's like flying and it feels like skydiving but less dangerous and scary. Yay, fun and not scary! Hopefully, that's what the next 5 years will be like. Sure will be hard and challenging but it should be fun and for the most part enjoyable.

Here's to the next 5 years!

Last Day

Tomorrow... the often sang about, talked about day, tomorrow. It is full of promise and hope as well as dread and fear. Tomorrow... is my 20th birthday. After weeks of preparing myself and my bucket list, I've realized that I've already taken some big steps into adulthood. I chopped off my signiture long locks and got a pixie/faux-hawk. I moved away from focusing on my love life (and lack thereof) and onto my future career and life (boy or no boy).
