Answer to the question/title: No. My New Year did not start happy, except New Year's Eve was cool! But this month, so far, has been crappy! Horribly crappy, depressing and confusing. And I'm not going to give all of the details since my fam jam probably wouldn't appreciate it.
Well, my last post wasn't so great and I don't think it actually got to the point! Yes, I am frustrated with my parents, but the best way to solve a problem is with communication! Which sometimes I think we do too much of at our house sometimes. My family's been going through a rough patch for a loooooonngg time and it's been really stressful (clearly, since I can't seem to get rid of this acne!!) We had a big discussion today, and I am deciding to drop out of university. That's right world! I said it, and I'm doing it!
Now, with all of that said, I am not excited or sad. I am simply happy. Happy because I am moving forward and taking a break from being a student for 14 and a half years! I will let you all know that this is not a decision on impulse. Ever since grade 11, I wasn't sure if I even knew exactly what I wanted to do! And when application deadlines were coming around, well I didn't want to be working at Safeway full-time (not that Safeway isn't a great employer!!), and I wanted to be going to school with my friends, so I applied for University! I also wanted to understand the experience and life at university.
After my first term, I realized science shouldn't be a career for me, just a hobby. Now into my second term, majoring in linguistics rather than biology, I'm enjoying my classes, but I am sure that I don't want to be putting in the dreadful hours of reading textbooks and boring novels. These things are required in order to fully understand the class and get a good grade. My decision is to put my school cap up on the shelf for a while and go find a new job and enjoy life!
Different answer to the question/title: Yes. This is going to be a Happy New Year. My family is going to do some healing, I'm going to change my life and my younger sister is going to blow the world away with her amazing debate skills!
My plan is to be a freaking awesome new Finance Minister for the Youth Parliament and to hang out with friends, have a fun job and to contribute more to my family.
Even if s*** is going down, it will clear. You just need to work it out. I wish all of you who read my blog and even those who don't, a very Happy New Year!
