Hey guys! I promised I would be return to DA so here I am.
I believe that last I had posted I had just received my acceptance letter to the Art Institute of California-San Francisco.
wow that was a while ago
I have lived in SF for the past two years and I am loving it up here. I have learned so much about love, life and just being an adult. I am beginning to understand why they say your college years are the best of your life. I am just experiencing so much and learning even more. So where do I begin?
I had moved into Daly City in 2010 with
I was so nervous about my first time moving away from my parents, but she really made things so much easier.
She had gone to study abroad, another roommate planned on also studying abroad, and our fourth roommate couldn't seem to get along with most of us, so by the time it came to re-new the lease we all decided to go our seperate ways.
I then moved into the heart of San Francisco with some friends of mine that I had met at AI. Almost immediatly I knew that something was wrong. One of the girl's I had moved in with had this...energy about her that was just toxic. I don't know how to describe, but it was just painful to just be around her. Very soon after moving in with her I became pretty deeply depressed and ended up going onto anti-depressant medication to just get out of the bed without crying the entirety of the day, for pretty much no reason. I was very thankful that the other two girls I had lived with were very supportive of me and were just plain ol' good friends/people. There was some good news as that I had gotten my first internship in the marketing field. Finally a foot in the door for my industry and I couldn't be more grateful. Although this was great news, I seemed to be over shadowed by what was going on in my apartment.
Things had also gotten worse from there. My high school boyfriend I had been dating for almost 4 years had broken up with me. And before everybody starts saying, "what a jerk he is," just know that he isn't. Regrets and mistakes were made and the break up was my own fault. If you know me in real life I'll let you know in a note if you want, but just know that he did do the right thing. From there the light drinking I had done starting from my 21st birthday had become more frequent and heavier than ever before. I had pretty much lost my mind and did a lot of partying, doing things I would have never normally had done. Even stopped going to church which beforehand I had very much enjoyed.
On top of that, things with the roommate were getting so bad we all had to restrain the others from letting things become physical with her. I had decided to move out early and said my peace to her. I had moved into the outskirts of San Francisco for three months in a room about the size of a cubical by myself. Those were really hard times for now I had no one to talk to as my roommates weren't very social. Too much time to think can hurt a person. But soon enough things cleared up.
had returned from her study aboard program and we wanted to move back in together, along with the third roommate from 2010 that we did get along with. She also wanted to bring in her boyfriend which I was estatic about. So about a few months ago we had all returned to Daly City and I am so apperciative to have them back. I have thus stopped taking my anti-depressants. I also left my first internship as their head of PR and Marketing which was great! I enjoyed my time there, but it was just time to move on and find something new. I was very lucky in being able to find a second internship that was a little closer related to my field.
As of just yesterday there was more good news. My big brother got married! The wedding was beautiful and the party and after party were killer! Sooo much fun and so happy for the two of them
I have also decided that starting today, I will be taking a hiatas from drinking. I have since started going back to church and although the lord has told me that I no longer have a problem, I still think it is a good idea. My ultimate goal is to stop for a year, but even if it's shorter that's ok. I also will be graduating from my AI in only 6 months which is exciting and horrifying at the same time
These past two years have really changed me for the better. Although it has been such a short time I feel like it was much needed. I have a wonderful support group and I can't wait to see what the future has for me
