I can honestly say this has been the best summer of my life. Started a wonderful job and made some money, was in a fantastic production of one of my favorite shows, met the most incredible guy, enjoyed the summer sun with my family as much as possible… Maybe it’s because of all of these things that I’m not that sad it’s ending? I’m ready to move on- into my new apartment with my best friend, into my relationship with Phil, into my SENIOR YEAR at Northeastern (eek!!) and the rest of my life.
Cleaning out my new apartment yesterday, I couldn’t help but feel so refreshed and excited- ready for a new beginning :)
I’m so bad about using this during the summers!! Anyway, life is honestly better than it has ever been before. I’m in a wonderful show with a wonderful cast, working at a wonderful job, dating a wonderful boy :) I haven’t been this happy in my entire life, everything finally seems to be going right!! Realizing now that all of these things were accomplished because I FINALLY decided to put myself out there and make myself happy. What a fantastic summer :D
Oops, keep forgetting about this. Life is busy and I’m exhausted but it’s all good things, so that’s pretty cool.
I just really need sleep…
What a wonderful day!! Started my new job as an Educator at lululemon athletica (YAYYY) and it was soooo great!!! Had an awesome kickboxing class, bought some new things at forever 21… and on top of all of this, absolutely gorgeous weather in the city! Loving life right now :)
Oops… haven’t been on here in a while. Summer’s been great so far, just got hired at lululemon atheltica at the pru! Yay! Been home for a week chillin in the sun and with the fam, it’s been really great. Broadway night is Friday, should be fun.
Not much else to report on. I’m getting tan and skinny again, yayyy.

Not sure if it’s the rain or the current time (1:38 AM), but I’m in one of those super emo/nostalgic moods. Realizing how awesome it is to have people who would be there for you no matter what time it is or where you are. The past two months have been really, really tough, and I’m really making progress trying to pull myself together, but there’s absolutely no way I would have survived without some of the awesome people in my life. Never knew before how crazy life could get without warning. Glad to have a few months to take some time for myself and figure out what I need to do to be happy.
I’ve always told other people this, but never really fully comprehended its importance: life is all about doing what makes you happy. You’ve got to love yourself and put yourself first. Sounds insanely cheesy, but I really believe it’s the key to living a fulfilling life.
