1. I have become less naive and more mature.
"Ughh. I should LISTEN to myself sometimes. I really do give good advice. The old naïve me keeps trying to take over, but HELL TO THE NAW."
2. I have learned to believe in myself.
"I have to be a badass. But first I have to believe it. This summer taught me that I can do anything I want to do, just because I’m me."
3. I learned to let go of some things it was really hard to let go of.
"So I’m done. Those girls keep dragging me down and I don’t want people like that in my life. They want me when they need something, and apparently that’s it."
4. I am trying not to sweat the small stuff.
"I am no longer gonna whine about these assumptions; I am going to move on and be happy. Yay!!"
5. I've lived for me and my happiness!!
"And I feel like God is telling me to let go and live my life. Talking to Ashton earlier tonight confirmed that. It’s true; I really do need to focus on myself and my happiness. My life is important, too."
6. I've become more focused on my work, especially my writing.
"I need to kick ass today on some homework. I don’t have class til 1, so that means studying until then."
7. I'm happier.
"Gosh; I keep smiling! I’m so happy :)"
8. I finally joined a church group that is amazing and accepts me :)
"Today was wonderful. On top of getting some good relax time in, I spent time with the girls at the Wesley and had girls group. We talked about relationships and the first chapter of Crazy Love. I learned a lot of good things, and I think I'm really going to like it there."
9. I finally have an AMAZING roommate that isn't a loser!!! Yay :D
"My roommate is a total badass, and so sweet, plus she knows the school really well and has some incredible connections. Her name is Alex. I honestly could not be happier with this decision. A new place is EXACTLY what I need to be happy! She’s great!"
10. I gained the best friends a girl could ever have and learned what true friendship is.
"I wish the group was here. I can’t wait to see them. They’re seriously such amazing people. I am so lucky to know such wonderful people."
11. I gained a new best friend :)))
"I saw Rachel last night, though. We went to the store and bought milk and oreos and just talked in her car for a while. It was fun, bonding time :) I love Rachel!"
