#22 – Reflection

Hello All,

Haven’t posted in a long long long time. I’m so bad at this. But I will try to change that.

During the 22nd year of my life, I’ve learned so much about myself. There were lots of ups but at the same time, lots of downs as well. I’ve learned that I shouldn’t have to tolerate anything that does not positively influence my life. I’ve learned to let things and people go that were just dragging me down and holding me back from being 100% happy. Now, I feel that I am in a much better place. Life is short, so make the most of it. Be positive, and do everything that you want to do that makes you happy.

After my 23rd birthday, I’ve decided to spend my hard-earned money on experiences rather than items. Yes, buying new shoes and new bags makes me happy, but experiences will last me a lifetime. So from now on, I am going to do my best to spend less on items and more on adventures. So far, planning to go on at least two vacations in 2015, going to see Wicked, running my first half marathon and hopefully many more adventures. I really can’t wait to see what the next year will bring to me. I’ll try my best to document it via this blog.

Until next time,
Vivian

Good-bye 2013, Hello 2014

Cannot believe that it is already 2014. I swear that it seemed like it was just yesterday that we were ushering in 2013. This year has been amazing. Celebrated in 2013 with my amazing friends.

2013 was definitely a memorable year. I turned 21 in 2012 but 2013 was the year I really lived it and got addicted to going to Las Vegas. If I could, I would go once a month! I graduated from UCLA! And prior to graduating, I was one of the lucky and very grateful ones to have landed a job BEFORE graduating. Started working basically right after graduating and met some amazing coworkers who make the worklife so bearable. (: I also moved out of living in an apartment to living in a house with new roommates who I adore and love. Even though I don’t have much I common with them, we still have lots of fun together. (: If 2014 is anything like 2013, I am grateful to have these friends in my life.

My resolution for this upcoming year is to learn to live a little. Basically, to just go out and have some fun. Get out of this grandma-slump that I have been in for the past two years. I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am that I have earned it. It’s time to put the quote “work hard, play harder” to work.  It’s time to stop worrying about others and worrying about myself. (: I can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store for me.

Happy 4 Year Anniversary!

Today, 4 years ago, we got back together. So if you count it from the beginning, we’ve been together for almost 5.5 years, but we don’t count the first time around. If it’s meant to be, we’ll get back together right? So right. Sadly, we got back together when we went to college..which meant being about 120 miles apart from each other. I went to UCLA and he went to UCSD. Let me tell you, long distance SUCKS so effin’ much..but somehow we are making it. He’s still in school cause he’s doing a fifth year and I can’t wait for him to graduate and we can figure out how to be closer together.

He’s been my rock; holding me down through everything. Even though we bicker and argue a lot, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Because the way I see it, even though we argue a lot, to me it means that we are trying to better each other by not just agreeing to only one way. There have been a lot of sacrifice and compromises that have been made over the last two years. But I think that has made us a stronger couple. Being in a long distance, we try to enjoy the few weekends that we can spend together. We cherish it that much more. But since it’s his last year in college, we won’t be able to see each other as much because I want him to succeed and graduate on time. It’s going to suck, but we’ll make it through. I love him more than anything. He is my best friend, my rock, my mr. honeybear, and my person. Happy 4 years babe! I love you!!

Graduation, the start of a new chapter in my life

In June, I graduated from UCLA (whoot GO BRUINS!!), class of 2013. Although I have no idea what I want to do in life, I am glad to have my friends and family by my side to go along with the adventure. They are the best support I could ever ask for, even though they drive me crazy sometimes. But hey, isn’t that family does.
