I've been M.I.A. for a while but I'm happy to say that things are starting to fall together for me.
I have not been sick from stress since Easter and I want to cry tears of joy saying that. You don't actually realize how incredibly awful it is to wake up every single morning nauseous until you don't have to anymore. With a little stress off of my shoulders, I managed to finish my second semester of Sophomore year with grades that I am beyond proud of. This past semester was by far my hardest (Sophomore slump, am I right?) and there were two classes where I was incredibly nervous to get my grades back. Nothing like giving something 110% and still feeling unsure. But when final grades came back, I was very, very pleased. I was also admitted into a Communications minor which now gives me two minors and I can't wait to continue pursuing those.
When I got home I had to move my apartment life into my living-with-parents life which isn't easy with all of my belongings but I somehow figured it out. Then I began work and I have been working ever since. I am working my butt off which is great because I'm making money but my body is tired because being a server is tough work. But that was just a statement, not a complaint, because I am very thankful for my job and all it offers me. It has given me the opportunity to reunite with old friends and meet some new ones.
As many of you know, I dream of one day being a wedding planner. My roommate Tasia and I are planning a wedding for December and Tasia let me know that the table decorations are now done for that which is so exciting because it is one step closer to the big day. I was also asked to being a day-of coordinator for a friend on her big day which I am absolutely so excited to do! I can't wait to help her out and see how perfect her big day is going to be!
Today I found out that I made the Executive team for JMU's dance marathon, MadiTHON. Truly a dream come true, I can't wait to be a part of something so amazing. This event, as well and CMN, holds a spot in my heart. Not just a philanthropy event, this cause means the world to me and I am honored to be able to help.
So time does heal all. It even heals some stress and insecurities, and gee, am I thankful for that.
Love ya mean it,
Bailey
