New Experiences

 Recently, I've been stuck in a circle. Don't get me wrong, it's not just one monotonous circle. It's more than that. However, I am definitely getting sick on alternating between the same circle.

 SO...I've finally decided to start forcing myself to do different things everyday until everyday change come much easier to me. 

 In a few months, I will be embarking on a trip to a place that is not unfamiliar to me. I'm going back to New York. It's a group trip. However, I'm going "by myself". I mean to say that my sister,my appendage will not be accompanying me this time. It will be a time for me to experience something on my own for once. The whole thought is scary to me. I'm scared and depressed. I will also be travelling to Indianapolis,too. Im ready to become more independent,and that will be the biggest change of all for me.

  But anyways...today I spent time with one of my best friends. It'd been such a long time I'd had any time to spend with someone outside of my boyfriend and family. 

 Here are a few highlights...

While we were out and about, we stopped by our Barnes and Noble and I picked up this classic that many of my friends have mixed emotions about. While I have never fully understood their interpretation of Catcher in the Rye, I cannot wait to read and  talk about this book in the near future after I finish my required reading selection which is this beaut:

 

My AP Language teacher is going to smite all of us this semester on this essay...and every essay for that matter. Anyways, I can't wait to read this book either. It makes me nervous because I know that it will definitely change my views on my daily lifestyle...which definitely consists of a lot of fast food consumption which is unfortunate to say that I do eat fast good often...I plan on stopping and adopting a healthier lifestyle anyways...and that's not a New Years' resolution at all.

 Amidst all of this calorie-burning,book buying, we got hungry and decided to go to Panera...the most delicious pasta I've ever had up to date. I'd never been there before today...I plan on going back everyday for the rest of my life...

 Okay, maybe not everyday, but it wouldn't be too bad to have it every once in awhile.

 I tried the Chicken Tortellini Alfredo....and here's what it looked like:

I definitely wasn't going for anything artsy in this photo...

  In conclusion, this year will be great and even if school's almost back in session, I will try my best to be the happiest I have ever been.
