First! Found this. Thought you should read it. Make it your phone back ground. Meditate on it. I’m not sure. Just. Think about it kay?

Today 11:02

I JUST GOT THE COOLEST NEWS OF MY LIFE.

Today I went to a specialized advising session for first year students at my college. My advisor, Adrianne had to schedule me a separate meeting with her. Why?
I have no more basic or University core classes. It is my first year of university and I have officially squashed core.

That means that Fall 2015 I will be starting my advanced journalism classes and my specialized minor classes. My. Second. Year. In. My. First. Choice. School. I. Will. Be. In. My. Advanced. Program. Classes.

In our meeting I’m switching my minor to Philosophy because I am in love with my philosophy course this semester, (Discovery of Self is the course by the way in case any other college kids are looking for a vastly interesting course. I highly recommend it. I’ve been self actualizing like nobodies business and it has really been beneficial in all aspects of my life from human interaction to work ethic.) AND we are discussing my plans for study abroad in Europe the Summer of 2016!

I want to give very special thank yous to tons of people via the internet:

First and foremost my parents, all four of you, for never letting me quit anything a day in my life unless it was toxic. Mom especially for always making me think you can do anything you put your mind to. Dad for a good ass kicking when it was necessary, and for always making me believe that I was capable of anything. Casey for tough love and great food. Deb for teaching me how to stand up for myself.

Next the other very influential parental figures in my life Angie, Momma #2, Chelsi, and Morgana. It takes a village, and I have been shaped by each of you. I owe much of my compassion and understanding to Momma and Chels, and much of my sass to MoMo and Ang.

Third the lovely lovely friends old and new that I hold very near and dear to my heart. My Maggie, Kimmie, Teddy, and Emma from the weird parts of my life to the now. I can’t believe that any of you actually befriended a weirdo like me. BUT. I’m glad you did. Some of you were even brave enough to befriend me back in middle school… That was an even weirder time and honestly you deserve an award for your bravery. (Especially Mags because it’s almost our six year best friend anniversary and I owe you my entire life! love you.) David, Monique, Kerri, Colton, and Craig. I learned the best of love, tough love, and self motivation for you guys. I’m happy I found you all when I did. I mean it.

Lastly… All of NBN. Seriously. What would I be without this site? I wouldn’t even have found my love of writing without this site. My whole future is pretty much based off of the accidental best thing 14 year old me ever did for future me. Everyone that has ever said I write well or watched some dumb video on here has made me an innumerable amount of happy. Thanks for even bothering to look at what I do. (And for letting me dub myself the Internet Queen just because I can talk with a mug of coffee in my hand.)

Fact of the matter is that I wouldn’t be the me I am without all of you little pieces of me. I’m so so excited for this crazy meeting today and to figure out what the next two years are going to look like for me. I never actually thought I’d get here. (Much less succeed here.)
I finally feel like all the stupid papers I cried over in Dr. Nichols class paid off. I feel like all the extra stress Junior and a Senior year was worth it.
It’s just all very exciting to be as young as I am and starting my specialized courses and talking about Europe. It’s even more exciting to have all of my friends, family, and NBN readers watching it happen.

I GUESS I’M OFF TO TALK ABOUT EUROPE!

Talk soon.
