In my younger years I made perfect grades, won a slew of awards and contests, and was on good terms with nearly everyone.
Now I've hit an age that always felt like a lifetime away - twenty. Two decades of life on Earth.
Where do I go from here?!? I'm doing what I love, studying theater and communications, at a place I love, Florida State University, surrounded by people I love.
This year has seen an interesting battle with my perfectionism and while I still hold myself to a high standard I am appreciating the surprises of life. I'm happy and blessed that I can look back on life fondly, with many accomplishments, and if I can accomplish so much in what I can only hope will be around a fifth of my lifespan, imagine what I'm just getting ready to do! With unbridled freedom, my limitless imagination and curiosity about the world, who knows where I'll end up!
That being said, in the spirit of the new year, I've decided to follow my heart and fate where it leads me. A few years ago, I couldn't have imagined the person I am now and I'm glad for every trial, success and failure, along the way that's shaped who I am. My resolution, for the rest of my life, not just 2015, is to listen to, respect and trust myself. Life is precious and I can't wait to keep living! I know I'll be learning lessons along the way, but hopefully I can look back on it all and get a good laugh.
To go along with my resolution, here's a "bucket list" of 20 Things I Want to Do In My Twenties! Watch the video to hear me explain each item and how I chose it!
