It has been a while since I have sat down and actually written a blog post. I seem to blame it on this funk that I was in, or the fact that I felt like I was going through this identity crisis where one minute I thought I had my whole life planned out to questioning if that was really what I wanted to do. But nevertheless, here I am, I still got time to figure out what I want to do in life, and I don't need to make a decision right now. As far as 2021 though, well I was influenced by Instagram influencers Emma Leger, Sophie Suchan, and Nitsan Raiter to make a vision board. I have done this with my friends thinking far for the future, but I think this is a more realistic goal for myself as I am planning for the year ahead. I thought it would be cool to share my vision board with you and kind of explain it and how I plan on making that goal come to life. So here it is!
So with this somewhat of an identity crisis that I had, I felt that I no longer wanted to go into the retail industry or the fashion industry, and that's a big change considering that was all I wanted to do six months ago. But experiences changed that and I find myself rather wanting to always dress up and become something of a style icon instead of working for the fashion industry. There was something interesting that someone told me when I was a freshman in college, she said that we shouldn't go into a job that deals with something that we are passionate about, sure we should like it, but when you work with what you are really passionate about, you may end up loosing that passion, and I don't want that.
Now I know that just about everyone's new years resolution is to loose weight, but I feel like that isn't the right mindset for me, I've been trying that for years, especially with this past year's freshman 15 and then quarantine 15 hitting me, and I've counted calories and even have gone days where I will literally eat less than 500 calories and that just isn't healthy. Instead, my goal is to workout more, go to the gym at least three times a week and walk 5+ miles twice a week. And as far as eating goes, I am going to be more cautious of what I am putting into my body, know the effects of everything I eat, and pay attention to how it makes me feel.
With the app that I am currently working on, I feel that it has the potential to go really far and do very well, so I am 100% dedicated to seeing the baby that I helped make, develop into a popular and thriving app on the market. I've always wanted to run my own company, and this experience and process is helping me to understand what has to go into the success of an application and the steps of doing it.
It is a big dream of mine to study abroad, and why not study abroad more than once. I've found that in the past year, a change of scenery could definitely be good for me, to go out there and experience a new culture and way of life. So this summer, I want to intern somewhere in Europe, I have already started to fill out the application and I will keep you updated!
Lastly, my dearly beloved blog. I want to take it farther, I need to be more consistent in posting and I need to not be afraid to go out there and talk about it. I need to be confident in myself. I need to put myself out there more and be comfortable with it.
Cheers to 2021!
