I keep telling myself I am going to give guys a chance, but every single time the opportunity presents itself I shut it down. I do not think it has anything to do with fear of intimacy at this point. I have so much going on right now with getting my degree, doing lab research, learning a new language, getting all 3 of my healthcare certification renewed, working out 5 days a week, etc, etc. I just do not have the time or the patience to entertain anyone right now. What's crazy is when I tell people that I never been in a relationship, and do not plan on being in one anytime soon, I get side eyed. But it's like I am so young, and I feel like I have all my life to fall in love and go on dates and do all that relationship stuff. Maybe I am missing out, maybe I'm not. But I do know that I am in a good place in my life and I am super excited for what the next couple of years of my life have in store in me.
You’re never too old to learn something new. Never stop studying.
I want to become more comfortable speaking up for myself, having audacity, and just embrace the close mouth don't get fed mentality.
Three areas of my life that I need to speak up more, is school, friends, and to be honest just in general.
My fear of being perceived as a bitch is holding me back and making me not speak up and express my mind.
I also hate confrontation which is also why it's hard for me to speak up when something goes wrong.
I will say this, my dad is a very confrontational person. It's to the point that I don't even like going to places with him because I fear he is going to cause a scene. I know I just said that I wanted to have more audacity, but he takes it too far. He's literally a male Karen (still love him). I guess its about finding that balance and becoming assertive not aggressive because as another saying goes, you get further with honey than vinegar.
constantly thinking about how badly i need to be railed by a loving, sweet guy. (i’ve never never even been kissed.)
Being at university has allowed me to spend more time with my extended family, and honestly, it's been the highlight of my year.
Seeing the loving environment my mom grew up in, I now understand what she means when she says she didn’t feel poor growing up.
My birthday was three weeks ago, but I couldn’t see my extended family that weekend. I went last week instead, and my aunts and cousins surprised me with a small get-together. It was so sweet. I felt so loved.
My time here has really changed my mindset. I’ve always believed that money was everything and that you could be happy alone. But now, I’m starting to realize that no amount of money compares to having a loving family or community to share life with.
-graduate top of my class
-graduate with at least a 3.7 gpa
-get my first job (don't care if its working in the library or whatever, just want to get my first job ever before graduating college)
-doing more of what I love and finding new hobbies
-intern at a hospital
-NETWORK!! (make more friends in general/I have some but honestly I need more variety)
-try all the local restaurants/clubs
-study abroad
-make contacts with professionals in my desired industry
-connect more with professors (struggling at this right now)
-join clubs
-date more
Basically I expect myself to graduate at the top of my class, secure a job at some of the top hospitals in the US (shoot for the stars, why not the world) , and become healthier, hotter, and smarter, while working hard until I establish myself and eventually settle down and have kids.
Sounds a little bit delusional, but hey if I do not succeed, at least I tried
Cant wait to get back from university and start my mini garden
