I've been trying to type this out for a while now. My annual summer blawg post is something I like to do because I like looking back and remembering the good times I had. In general, my summer's are filled with work, work and more work. This summer was no exception. However, in between working full time and going to summer school, I felt like I did so many fun things! This just goes to show that no matter how busy you are, if you REALLY want to relax and have fun, you can!
It's already September, but it feels like January 1st was yesterday. Time does fly by when you have fun. For me, this year so far has literally been a roller coaster of emotions. I guess, in a morbid way, it made the year less boring. I learned a lot about myself and the people around me. But this post isn't about all that boring mumbo jumbo!
The summer started out with a lot of uncertainty. I took a week off of work and I spent my days at the beach, reading, cleaning and buying things off of Craigslist. I re-decorated my whole apartment, which was fun! I made it girly or as the internet calls it "shabby chic" which is totally my style.
Besides that, I did a LOT of stuff. I went to the beach a lot, watched movies, went to baseball games, went to Coronado for the first time, went to the Video Games Live concert, went to the Griffith Observatory, went on a lot of lunch/dinner dates, hit up Downtown Disney constantly, made a bunch of new friends, went to Medieval Times, went to Vegas, had a fun 4th BBQ, I got a new kitty, had house parties, works parties, and school parties, did I mention pizza parties? I eventually went INSIDE of Disneyland, and finally I moved to GG aka Garden Grove aka Ghetto Grove. I did a lot and it was great!
The best part of the summer was meeting a bunch of new people. My summer writing class was AWESOME! I got an A, duuhhhhh I is a guud writer.
I think that if I wasn't in such a good place mentally, this year would have been 1000 times worse. But, with my new outlook in life which may or may not be medically induced, I had an amazing summer. I hope the rest of the year is just as good if not better. I don't want to jinx it D:
I didn't really take too many pictures of what I did this summer because I wanted to experience it and not live it through pictures. It was great! Stay off your phones people, and experience the life that is happening right in front of you!
And on that note, I'd like to say that I did such a good job in school this summer, that I got myself a present. That present was a new laptop. I LOVE TECHNOLOGY #hypocrite
In conclusion, you create your own paradise. If you choose to make the best of a situation, I guarantee that everything will be alright. But if you focus on the negative, then your world will be ugly. Yeah, it's hard to be happy when things are going bad but, take it from me; I have had A LOT of lame and bad stuff happen to me this year but it's in the past, move on, life gets better if you make it so.
Create the rules to your own paradise.
Pizza for lyfe.
