Day 30-Who are you?

and it finally comes to an end....


Who am I?  In all honesty...I have absolutely no idea who I am.  That's the coolest part about being 18...I don't need to know who I am.  I'm still figuring it out.  There is a lot in this world that I don't understand and a lot about myself that I don't understand.  I guess I would say that, right now, at eighteen...I'm a free spirit.  I'm the black sheep of the family.  I want to make mistakes.  I want to learn from those mistakes.  I want to make friends.  I want to have the time of my life.  I'm not the prettiest, or the smartest, or the most perfect.  But I'm comfortable with who I am.  I make mistakes. I don't have all the answers. I have fears.  But, bottom line, I love my life, and I want to make the most of my time here in this scary, crazy, beautiful, amazing world.

Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned?

February...what have I learned?

I learned that it's a big world, and I can be and go whoever and wherever I dream.

I learned that being an adult and growing up isn't an easy thing to do.

I learned that I may never find prince charming, but the other guys are just as good.

I learned that senioritis is kicking my ass.

I learned that my friends keep me sane.

I've learned a lot in this past month, and these are just a few.  I'm sure  I learned way more than this but this is just a short summary. :)

Day 28-A picture of you last year and this year. How have you changed?

Last year.

This year.

How have I changed? Well I can say for sure that I am definately more mature than last year.  I think I've become a more responsible person.  I am more in control of myself and the choices I make.  Over the past year I have grown and changed so much as a person.  The last year has taught me a lot and I am loving the person I am turning into.

Day 27- Why 30 days?

Hmmmm.

This one's a tough one.  I really couldn't tell you why I wanted to do it.  I had seen other people do it on Facebook and I wanted to do it...but not on Facebook, on my blog :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  I like that this is 30 days in the life of me...documented.  I think it's just a cool concept.  Maybe that's why I did it?  Either way, I'm glad I'm doing it.

Day 26- What do you think of your friends?

Alright...well.  First off I should start by saying that in all honesty, I really never had very many friends.  Even from elementary school, the girls in my grade were, well...bitchy.  I had trouble, not so much making friends, but keeping them.  I don't know why, but at any rate, I never really could say I had a true best friend until my sophmore year.  I was in geometry with two girls, Maura and Stephanie.  We talked all the time in class and after school let out for the summer they texted me to hang out.  We basically became best friends immediately.  We did everything together for the most part.  We talked about everything, told each other everything, shared clothes, food :), everything.  Maura and Steph and I are all still good friends but I feel like we've drifted apart a little. I still love them to death and I would still do anything for them, but I think it's natural for some people to almost grow apart.  Not that I think that's happening but I think we just aren't as close as we used to be.  This year in my gym class I met V (Virginie) and Natalia.  That was another instantanious friendship.  These girls...oh my god.  I love them.  I think, even now that gym has ended, we see each other every single day.  We honestly, do everything together.  They are probably the most down-to-earth people I have ever met.  They are so funny, and I can tell them anything.

Really though...I love all of my friends, BFF status or not. They make me who I am.  They keep me coming to school day after day, even when my senioritis is at its worst. :)

Day 24- A letter to your parents.

Oh lord...this one could get emotional.

Dear Mom & Dad,

Words cannot express how much you mean to me.  You are my everything.  I wouldn't be the person I am today without you two.  You have taught me so much in life, and I can only hope to one day be the type of parent that you were to me.  We've had our ups and downs, yes, but that has never changed anything between us.  I honestly can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you do for me everything single day.  My favorite part of my day is getting to see your faces.  I really truly do not know what I will do if ever there comes a day when I am without you. 
You mean the world to me. Seriously. And I'm not just saying these things because this is my blog...this is how I honestly feel.  You are my life, my world, my heroes. I love you more than words can say.

I love you,
me.
a.k.a. the favorite child :)
