I recently watched an Oprah's Master Class featuring Susan Sarandon. She talked about how everything in her life has happened because all of her plans failed. That spoke to me on such a profound level. I moved to San Francisco with plans of finishing my Bachelor's. Only to find out that California state schools were in a budget crisis, and they were not accepting transfer students. After two years of being on the wait list, I gave up and I moved to Alabama. I had family there, and out-of-state tuition was really low.
Here I am :o) After my California plans failed, I am graduating two years behind schedule. I wouldn't trade anything. I met life long friends in California, learned so much about myself and experience new cultures. Now, I can say the same thing about Alabama!
Two years later...about to graduate...and begin the job hunt. I think there will be many stories and adventures to come in the next few months! I will be graduating from college. I will begin the job hunt for a career, which will include my FIRST professional interview, and the anxiety of waiting for the call back! I will most likely be moving out-of-state, and that carries with it a ton of new experiences. I am in the process of applying for the White House Internship for Spring 2014 *fingers crossed*.
I have lived in Michigan, Tennessee, New York, California and Alabama. My family and friends are wide spread, and I can't wait to use this blog to share all these amazing experiences right here with all of you!
The title of my blog sums up my life and me in a nut shell! I have been writing my White House essays for several months, and I look for inspiration everywhere. I was at my second home, Panera Bread, when they had a quote on their Summer advertisement. A quote I have seen a hundred times before, but it has taken on new meaning in this time in my life.
| Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— | |
| I took the one less traveled by, | |
| And that has made all the difference. -Thoreau |
I have always done things that seemed crazy to other people. While at the same time scary for me, but it has always worked out. When I announced I would be leaving San Francisco for Alabama people thought I was crazy. I did, too. Now I know that it was the best decision I ever made. I have gained and learned things I would've never learned if I let fear keep me from it, and if all my plans had not failed.
So, I invite you to subscribe to my blog! I will have many adventurous and personal tales! It will be an exciting journey filled with failed plans and first-time experiences! I can't wait!
