Don't kill me.

I feel sooooo bad I haven't blogged in who knows how long. I actually feel kind of embarassed. But before you guys kill me for not posting in FOREVER, I'll update you on everything I've been up to.

I doubt anyone remembers, but I mentioned a few times I didn't get into the university I had dreamt of going to since I was really young. Well, turns out I didn't get in because of a GLITCH in the computer system. Yes, I didn't get in because of a bug in their computer. I won't go into details of exactly what happened, because that would take like a hour to explain. I was pretty upset. But if there's one thing that I've learned in this adventure called life it's that things happen for a reason.

At that point, I just decided to go to my local community college for a few years since it would be a cheaper alternative to going away (my original first choice college was also in my hometown). I'm not gonna lie, I was a little bummed about the whole thing. I felt like I had worked so hard and it was all for nothing. Well on the community college's website I found a scholarship that would give me a free ride to their school. I applied and I thought I actually had a good chance at getting it.

I was wrong. I didn't get it. Not only did I not get into a university I thought I had a good chance of getting into, I couldn't even get a scholarship for a community college. I'm not trying to insult anyone or anything with the whole community college thing, but I felt ripped off and felt like a loser (as stupid as that sounds now).

Basically all of this led to me being really down for a few months. Things were really rough and I was miserable. The thing that kept me going was the fact that I was almost done with high school.

Things kind of sucked for a while, but it seems like they're turning around (I hope I don't jinx it). I ended up getting other scholarships through my high school and through other foundations that the community college, so I have enough money to pay for my first year. That made it a little better. I quit my terrible job. That also made things a little better. I got my license (FINALLY) last week, and that definitely made me happy. And I graduated this past weekend. I am so glad high school is over, it hasn't even sunk in yet.

I'm trying to think of other things to update you guys on. Hm..I went to my high school prom. Parts of it were fun, but the actual dance was boring. If you guys wanna see pictures of my dress, I'll post them.

I suppose that's it for now. I hope a few of you guys are still at least subscribed to my blog after my long period of absence.

  2. I was just on here like two dys ago and I was wondering where you were haha.

    And yeah that must've sucked about the glitch thing for that uni, I'm surprised they didn't admit their mistake and let you on... that seems kinda rough.

    Good on you for getting that scholarship though, that should last you for a while and maybe even help you really decide what you want to do in uni. A lot of my friends change courses after their first year and some are even still changing now, a few years in... not pretty.

    Kudos on the license as well, nicely done.
