Best Things Are Life Changing

I HATE how horrible I am at updating my blogs.

 I use to update this thing at least monthly, now you Lovely Darlings are lucky to hear from me semi-annually.  It's a good thing I suppose. Being too busy to stop and fill you all in on my time. However I am going to try to change that.  My life has just become a big bunch of everything. I have yet to find something I hate about school. I even have found more things to love.  For now I will tell you about my current Big Desision.

I am Changing My Major.



So it is nothing as drastic as it sounds in fact maybe I should label it as "updating" my Major. I am keeping my current status as an English Major but tacking on one minor detail, an Anthropology Major. Hard as it sounds.  I spent all of last semester ranting and raving to anyone who would listen about how fabulous my Physical Anthropology class was. Did you know this Athropithicus came before Homo Habilis? That kinda thing. I was horrifingly obsessive. Finally after much debate to myself, I decided. I can do both. I love writing, even if it just this blog to you. Nothing will take away my shot at my English Degree. BUT who says I can't have a shot at something else too?  Who knows? Maybe I will make something of myself this way. :)

Oh Wait.

I already I am.

Until the Fates Let Us,

no longer taking safe choices

I have made some decisions in my life. I am no longer going to be living the safe choice. I have been hiding for two years. i have made the safe decisions and played it safe the whole way. i was going to go back to the college i left a couple years ago. why? why did i want to go back there? i had no reason besides my thought that i should go back where i left... that i should play it safe. I knew who i would be there. i knew what it was like there. i was making no sacrifice by going back. so i am applying to other schools. maybe i will go to the school i left. maybe i wont get accepted elsewhere, after all i dont have the best track record. but i am not going to do something just because it is the safe choice. I am giving myself the opportunity to excel elsewhere. to move on and up. i am no longer going to be the dreamer thinking of what could be or what might have been. i am going to start taking care of myself instead of others. i am going to be my own unique individual.

I am ready. I am ready to stop living the safe choice to stop dreaming about where i want to be and what i want to do and to go ahead and do it. I am ready to scream to the world My name is Ali, I am here to be me, not to clean up after you or take care of your mess but to be me!!
