Welcome To My Life

Christmas is my favorite time of the year! I love the holiday spirit, the decorations, the music, and the weather! One of my favorite things to do is wrap presents and participate in holiday traditions like decorating gingerbread houses and baking cookies for Santa! Every year, we plan a family trip! In the past couple of years we've gone to California, Utah, and Vegas. I would like to go to Japan this year, but the rest of my family wants to go back to Salt Lake City. This is the house we stayed in last year! It had 9 bedrooms, a movie theater, pool table, air hockey, ping pong table, and a jacuzzi right out back! It was huge! We had so much fun! Probably why my family wants to go back there this year! It was so special to have us all under one roof. Most of the kids slept in the movie theater every night. We have been to Utah twice now, and I would like to go somewhere else this year. Let me know if you have any suggestions!

I'm a little older than most of my peers in college, especially in this COM 201 class. If I could, I would go back and do things a little differently. I would have applied to college, and took college classes during high school, like my mother encouraged me to do. Somewhere along the road, I fell off and went down the wrong path. I was partying all night, sleeping all day, and ended up getting pregnant at 18. This pushed my college career further down the path then it already was. I gave birth at 19, and stayed home for 4 years to watch my son.  Looking back, I wish I would have got my college applications in, went away for college. I wish I would have gotten my life together sooner. I am now a struggling mother and student, and life is hard.  I couldn't wait to grow up, and now I'd give anything to turn back time. Sometimes I feel like giving up because I am so overwhelmed, but I know the harder I work, the greater the reward. I just gotta keep reminding myself of that ...

Reading! I love reading, especially trilogies. My favorite genre is dystopian trilogies like the Hunger Games, but any trilogy series entices me. I love going to the beach, and sitting under the shade and diving into a book while my son plays in the water! I also love to go to the library where it is quiet, and the cool air keeps me feeling comfortable as I escape reality. My favorite trilogies thus far are: The Hunger Games Twilight Shatter Me Series Fifty Shades Of Grey
