Graduated, Moving to California, DormCo, and more..

Helloo everyone,

Long time no post ! :)

A lot of exciting things have been going on in my life.

I officially graduated from my 2 year college with an Associates degree in Business Administration. I am so excited to put this degree to work. I am sure that I can find a job that will be in line with my future goals.

I am so HAPPY to have finally graduated after 4 years of being out of highschool.

So even though I graduated my education is not done (I wish); I chose to continue this journey to being a future counselor in California.

I have decided to move from New York to California, which is a HUGE move for me. My first time living alone and I chose to move 6 hours away, (sorry mom).

My mother is not taking this news very well because It'll  be far from everyone I know, my entire family, and friends. But I feel like I have to make this move, for myself.

Other than that I am ready. I move in August and I cannot wait. I am so excited. And if I am going to make a life changing move, the time to do it is now!

i will be going to Sacramento State University so I am officially a new hornet ( The Hornet is the school's mascot).

I will be majoring in psychology and nutrition, and dorming for the very first time.

Whoo! can't wait to experience that. This can go extremely well or terribly wrong, but I'll pray for the best. I am easy to get along with :)

If anyone else is forming or moving to a new dorm and needs to buy dorming supplies, I would suggest you check out

      (just click the banner for Dormco) or Dormitup.com.

That's all for now ladies and gents!

I will be posting more, and making videos of my journey and my move so please stay tuned. And be sure to check out those two websites to SAVE money! Everyone knows dorming is EXPENSIVE.

And wish me luck :) If you want to know more, or have any questions, leave me a comment, or stay tuned.

Thank you for reading !

I know why…

Why am I here?

Why do i matter?

Who says anything matters..

Im going through a time where I honestly feel like I don't want to be here. I say that to myself often. I would never commit suicide or anything. I'm not unhappy, I just don't understand sometimes. 
I try to push it away by saying, "God has a reason for everything, he has a plan, he is taking care of us." All which I believe with all my heart, I just do not know his plan yet and sometimes I forget those reasons. 

If it were up to me I would choose to not be on this earth, like never created. 

Truthfully I am afraid of the future.

I hate the way this world is, the way some people are, cold hearted and really only care about themselves and what they want. And I only imagine things getting worst. What I see matters to this world is basically status and money. In order to live an okay life you need money, but you'll have to deal with the stress that comes with it, like spending all our waking hours working.

One way or another you have to work.

School is work, networking is work, building a resume is work, keeping a routine is work. Work causes stress when you add pressure. And most people have the pressure of NEEDING to work to live a comfortable life, not choosing to work.

I believe this is what stresses me out. I'm only 21, I'm not set to choose if I want to work or not. The government says I have to work,  I have to pay bills, and if I want to have a place to live, eat, or wear something decent, I have to work, Otherwise we have the option to be homeless- tough choice. 
Was I really born to wake up everyday to go to school, to work, and to sleep and do it again over and over and in between to fill time, find some meaningless entertainment, like a movie that I would't even remember in a month.. I highly doubt it.

Everyone wants to be safe, happy, loved, peaceful, joyful, energetic and basically alive with no worries. 

As I put things into perspective, I notice that I am really pressured. Pressured to keep up with time, to behave a certain way, to conform to societies ways, to have an education if I ever want to make it anywhere (even to help people you need a piece of paper with stamps and a signature), I have to work because I need to pay for that education, -- Stress. I cant get a great job until I get an education, and I cant get a good education until I get a great job. 

I can't buy a house until I get a great job and great credit, and Its hard to get a great job if I dont have a great education. And great credit comes when you are willing to spend and then pay them back with interest. 

This system sucks, it works like a trap, the government is cruel, and the police force isn't all serving and protecting the way they are suppossed to. 

I hear stories about people getting killed all the time, stories of people trusting the police and becoming a victim instead.

I believe we have a false sense of freedom. When you try to be dfferent and speak up, you can get killed, shut down, shoved into a prison, who knows…  disorder is disliked.

I say why was I born, and why am I still here..

I can really only answer that in one way.

Jesus.

He is the way, the truth and the life.

you ever heard "The truth will set you free"? Well Jesus is the truth.

The only thing that can truly set me free is Jesus. 

So he gives me hope and stregnth, and love, and joy, and peace all over again even when this world is terrible, the bright light in him restores hope to people everyday. 

I know why I am here; I matter because God created me the way I am, with a purpose and a plan.
