“But if you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed." - Chuck Palahniuk

Hello Lovelies!

All through life we're always being told that we're being prepped for the next step.

Elemntary school for Middle School.

Middle School for High School.

High School for College.

And College for the Real World.

And heaven forbid you try to stray off this path.

I'm 18, almost 19, years old.

I just finished my first year at University.

And if last semester was any indication, I have not the slightest idea what I want to do with my life.

Which sends me into an absolute panic.

I'm one of these people that has always had a plan to an extent

And now that I'm reaching this point that I'm questioning my plan, it scares the hell out of me.

People always make it seem like it's so easy to just pack a bag, plan a flight and take off.

And then you can figure it out as you go and when you come back everything will fall into place.

And I wish it was that easy.

But it's not.

But I've decide that I'm going to stop worrying about the future, because that's going to happen whether I sit around panicking about it or not.

My goal is to start making a list of things I want to for me.

And if they fail, well they fail.

But if in the end, I figure out what I want and I end up truly happy, then it'll all be worth it.

Love y'all.

Talk to you soon,

Meghan

A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words: 30 Day Snap Day 7

Hello Lovelies!

Happy Sunday!

Hope y'all have had a great day.

I've been super lazy.

Like took a nap at 4 and had cake for dinner lazy.

But I did empty the suitcase I brought home from college.

A month ago.

Momma is off to Birmingham for a few days and needed the suitcase so now I have a large pile of clothes on my bed.

It happens.

I'm off to watch a movie. (I'd tell you which one but it was one of my birthday presents and that's coming later in my haul post)

Love y'all!

Talk to you soon,

Meghan

Long time, no talk

Hello Lovlies,

It's been a very long time since I've posted on here.

Hell, it was the middle of September last time I bothered.

And looking back on that, it's like holy shit crap was I naive at what freshman year of college would really be like.

And it hasn't even been a year since then.

Like a year ago, I would have never imagined my life would be anything at all like it is now.

When I last posted in September, I don't think I could imagine life to happen as it did freshman year.

And I guess it sounds like I just have a lot of untold stories.

So let's see if we can feel in some holes.

First semester was good.

I made some really good friends, classes were pretty simple, you know all that fun stuff.

Football games, freshman things, that sort of stuff.

Second semester things sort of went to crap.

I had two very big breakdowns, which included:

•  me thinking about dropping out of school
• looking at every major that UA has to offer in order to chancge from chemical engineering
• nearly failing two classes
• Somehow managing to pass both those classes (along with all my others)
• Making a few of probably the best of friends I've had in the longest time
• Not getting hired for a co-op
• Realizing that while my life wasn't going how my high school self had planned, that it was still ok.

And now we're here.

I survived my freshman year of college.

I have an unhealthy obsession to Tumblr

I'm still majoring in Chemical Engineering but have added a History minor

I'm on the brink of my 19th birthday.

I'm taking summer classes at Northeast.

I got hired at Walmart for the summer

I've come to realize that while I love Scottsboro and it's always be my hometown, I've outgrown it

While I'm scared of what the future might hold, I'm actually so excited to see what might happen.

I'm not going to make any promises that I'll actually use this but I'm going to try.

Because maybe one day it'll be worth to have this record of my life. (Which is the only reason I'm not deleting everything else on here and starting over)

Love y'all.

Talk to you soon,

Meghan
