My Goals In Life

I'm finding it difficult to figure out what I want to do with my life.  Yes, still.  Good news, I now have a better part time job.  It will pay for rent and groceries which is great.  I'm very happy about it.  But I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do with my future.  I do have some ideas though.

• own my own bakery
• work in customer service for an animal shelter
• cook meals for homeless people
• get back into web design and do contract work
• go back to school for marketing (and go from there)

See, there are quite a few cool things I could do.  But they are often so different!  And the thing is, I've got interests beyond those things too!  I'm going to write a brief list of my interests

• swimming
• baking
• web design
• going out dancing
• cooking
• helping people
• sewing
• photography
• listening to music

It's so hard to figure things out!!!

Why is life so confusing?

Website: StumbleUpon

This is an awesome site; great to waste time on!  Check it out at:

http://www.stumbleupon.com/

If you sign up, you can choose your interests and basically you get articles on the web related to your interests when you click 'stumble'.  Then you can say what you like and dislike so they will give you more sites that interest you.

One of my interests was cats.  I got so many adorable cat pictures.  I definitely enjoyed that.  Maybe you don't like cats though - but that's okay because you don't have to select cats as your interest!  I also put baking and cooking as an interest.  I got some great recipes.  There are tons of things you can choose depending on your interests.  Gardening, horses, relationships, alcohol, fashion, business - tons of choices!

There is so much information and fun activities and cool pictures on this website and I really love how you can search by your interests instead of getting stuff you don't like.  Once you have been on it for a while, you will start getting things that are really in your area of interest.

It is a lot of fun and a site that I would highly recommend to anyone!

What Are You Living For?

Really, what is your purpose? Why are you here? I know, difficult questions.
I have absolutely no clue why I’m here. What good am I supposed to do with my life? I’m not exactly powerful or influential or anything. I’m just me, a regular young adult who doesn’t know what the reason for her existence is.

I would like to find out. But how do you even do that? I really, really wish that I had a passion for something. Then maybe I’d feel more together with my life. Instead of how I am now.

It’s just … I should have a goal. I feel like I’m lost or something. I need someone to lead me. I want to know what I should accomplish.

How can I help people? How can I do something? I don’t know how. But I want to know. I want someone to tell me!

How was your Christmas?

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays ... whatever you celebrate!). I know I did. I got to spent time with some family I haven't seen for a while. It certainly was nice.

Did you exchange gifts with your family/friends? One of my favourite gifts this year was a new camera from my dad. I've been out looking for a new camera for the past few months so I was excited to get one from him! He knows cameras very well so I'm sure he picked out a good one for me! I'm excited to start using it! Some other cool gifts that I got included a computer game, a movie, and some clothes. I gave out a lot of homemade calendars this year which was fun! I also gave out a couple tickets. I gave my boyfriend tickets to a concert later on this year (also one for me, so I can go with him!!). I got my parents tickets for a comedy show. They are really big on comedy. I can't say it's my favourite thing, but they enjoy it, so they will have a great time together. I promised my sister a shopping trip. Mostly because I'm the one of us with some style, and I'm hoping she'll pick up on it soon!

We also had some delicious food! My aunt made some turkey and mashed potatoes - it was amazing! I'm still full from the meal, and it's two day later!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas! I hope that you at least got to spend some time with loved ones.

Soon it's New Years Eve! Does anyone have any plans yet? I am hanging out with my boyfriend and we're probably going out clubbing or something (typical). I'm sure it'll be a good time. And I will definitely report back!

Merry Christmas ... and Happy New Year ... it's almost 2011! Feel free to post about how you spent your Christmas or your plans for New Years Eve!

About Me

Hey everyone!  I thought I'd just give a quick little introduction about myself after the first post.

I am currently a college student in Ontario, Canada.  It's the summer right now so I have a full time job at home and, in less than a month, I get to move back to college, which I am very excited about.  I have a couple part time jobs for when I am at school.  I am the type of person who enjoys being busy (thus why I'm a full time student, have two jobs, and have a volunteer position that I think will be about as much as the jobs!).

Some of my interests include friends and family, computers, current events, music, college, decorating, fashion, health and fitness, and food.  Quite a variety, yes, and I do plan to post about all of these!  Because it's August right now, I think I will stick to some posts about college and current events for now and then gradually move on to other topics.  I'll see what my readers would like!

I am very close to my family and friends. I feel very lucky actually to be so close to my family. I always keep in contact with them when I'm away at school. I just have one sister and she is awesome so I don't want to lose the relationship with her. I have some great friends. I will likely mention them in future blogs as well, perhaps without names, but they will be referenced. But friends and family are important to me.

I am always open to opinions - comments, compliments, criticism - whatever you have to say.  You can email me personally at blog.llama112@yahoo.com or comment on any of my posts. If you make a comment that I feel would go well in one of my blogs, I may use it. I will respond to you and ask if you would like your name attached to it. If not, I will reference you as Anonymous. If you would not like something posted, just let me know in the email, no problem!

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask. I think this works for an introduction! Happy reading!
