All moved in!

Hello readers! Sorry I've been away from my blog for a while, I've been busy moving in and getting acquainted with my new home. Even though it's only been a week, I haven't really noticed much of a difference, I'm not terribly homesick but I do miss my boyfriend like crazy. We've been talking everyday which helps us feel closer. We have also reached 9 months together! Hooray!

I used photos from a 2010 black and white Paris calendar.

As for living on my own things are going well. I am very pleased with my roommates which is something not everyone can say I'm sure. Although we haven't been living together for very long, I hope for the best this year. On the plus side I hardly ever have to use the dishwasher since I find myself using very little dishes at that. If anything I wash them by hand as soon as I'm done using them.


Regarding my room I like the way it looks now but it does seem a bit bland. Like I mentioned before decorating and interior design is not my thing. It does look a bit cluttered and could be neater if I move things around more and add more color but I am content with it. It reminds me of a hotel almost, just one that I can stay in every night.

At first our living room was so bland but one of my roommates family were very generous and bought us a few throw pillows, a lamp, and a television stand that included a tv. I also brought a family coffee table from home so it looks more inviting now. Hopefully as the year goes on I will learn more tips & tricks as how to decorate my room but as for now it will probably stay as is.

I am enjoying living on my own and I am also very pleased with my classes. This time it is more career focused and I can definitely say that Hospitality is my calling. I look forward to learning new things about life in general and working towards my next goal which is getting a job to pay off these expenses. Wish me luck!

Best of luck to you too readers, with whatever goal you may be aiming to achieve.

Intro

Greetings readers!

First off let me thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm new to the blogging world and since I'm getting ready to move out for the first time next month I figured this would be a good way to document my journey as well as to keep family and friends updated while I'm away.

I'm currently a student at the University of Central Florida, having transferred from Santa Fe College in Gainesville. Being that I am a transfer student and have had some insight into the college life, I have yet to experience university life. While away I do plan to continue to stay dedicated to my studies, but I also plan to get more involved as well. I met many great people at my previous school but considering it's small size, I found it difficult to get involved. Now that I can focus on getting my Bachelor's degree in Hospitality management, I now see the importance of school spirit and involvement. I've finally achieved my dream of attending a university and now that I'm here I intend to make the best of my experience here, in a responsible manner that is.

The events, classes, parties and people will be a lot for me to take in and I hope to find a balance between it all. I'm both eager and nervous to venture out on my own but I want to go enter this experience with a positive attitude and an open mind. I've learned that anything can happen in life, but what's important is what I learn from it all.

Stay tuned fellow readers.
