College has been a very diverse experience for me. A lot of ups and downs. I feel like I am at a completely different moment in my life now than I was freshman or sophomore year. Physically, I am. But I also feel like emotionally and maturity-wise I am as well. I made plenty of mistakes this past semester that I deeply regret. My mom has commented that my maturity has declined to even lower than it was in high school. And I would have to agree. I miss the person I was in high school. I am trying my best to regain some maturity and excel as a near 21 year old. I am looking around for examples and guides including how to dress, how to act, what interests to have, and what things to lose. Waukee High School has been the most positive schooling experience I've had. The other schools I went to have shaped who I am today but no other school has helped mold me as much as WHS. There are several inspirational and simply neat life paths that have evolved in the lives of students who were in my graduating class and older or younger students. Chloe is now in Georgia working on the set of the Vampire Diaries and The Originals. Aaron is in New York for journalism and writes for Buzzfeed. Tanner Volk is a professional model. Taylor Makohoniuk is something important (I haven't figured it out yet) and is dating an actress. And the most simple storyline that has been on my mind a lot lately is the couple Abi and Evan. They are one year older and they recently got engaged and will be married soon. I follow both of them on Instagram and Facebook and I have been vicariously living through their lives and she has been a major influence on roles I am imitating. Her fashion style and taste in general. Their life seems so exciting. They just bought their first house and got a puppy. I know all lives have flaws but I really have been enjoying watching theirs unfold. I also have been inspired by a few others shown below. I am hoping that having these role models and examples will help me to mature and succeed in life that will lead to the best choice-making and life for me and for my mother. I hope to be the kind of daughter she can love and be proud of again. It will just take some time and effort on my part. Person I am striving for: organized mature well dressed put together adult like focused healthy goal oriented successful motivated sophisticated graceful kind poise independent loving kind patient positive in shape Goals to achieve this:
