10 Things I'm Grateful For

December 04, 2018

In honor of Thanksgiving, I've decided to list 10 things I'm grateful for and why I'm grateful for them.  Before I start, can you believe it's almost Thanksgiving? Well, by the time this is posted, Thanksgiving will have been long gone. Right now though, it's only a couple of days away! I can't wait! Let's get startedwith this list, shall we? 


1.  God

     I am grateful for God, because he is always watching over me. He guides me through every step in life and is there for me no matter what. Lately I've found that God is my dearest friend, comforter, and mentor.

2.  Work

     A lot of the time, I dread going to work. It's not easy, and I guess it isn't meant to be. Hard-earned money doesn't come from me sitting around all day XD. Through work I've been able to pay for my tuition without loans! I also get to buy a lot of useless junk to fill my room with (heh heh).

3.  School

     I can't believe I'm saying this, but yes. I've found that education is worth a lot! Kudos to my friends who are talented and creative and are able to pave a path for themselves through life. I am definitely not one of those people. I need school to help me develop skills that I can't find on my own. For that, I am extremely, extremely grateful.

4.  Internet (mostly)

     Without the Internet, I wouldn't be able to rant at you guys XD!! Sometimes, the Internet can be extremely strange ( like when I'm browsing through Pinterest and random pictures of Jello-ed salad pop up. I am still traumatized by that).  Besides that, we are able to travel the world and learn new things whenever we want! That's amazing, isn't it?!

5.  Books

     Ah. Books. Do I even have to explain? Books have provided me with knowledge, life lessons, and great entertainment! I think I'll always love books.

6.  Cartoons

     Okay, I've recently been watching a lot of cartoons on Netflix. One amazing one is Hilda. 11/10 recommend that one guys. It's adorable!! I love re-watching cartoons that I used to watch when I was younger. (Like Garfield, Total Drama, Spongebob, etc.) I think right now cartoons appeal to my desire to draw cute things. I get inspiration from them haha.

7. Free days

    I love having free days where I don't need to do anything. I usually clean my room, do some school work, watch Netflix (lol), or just chill on those days. In my opinion, everyone needs a day or so to reset.

8. Friends

   I've made some good Internet friends over the years, and I'm so grateful for them! Though I am terrible at keeping up with my friends blogs, I always love to keep up with them on Instagram and what not. Thanks for being cool, Internet buds! Slightly off topic, but another great thing about work is that I've been able to make some good friends there as well. I love you guys! (If any of you are reading this anyways, lol).

9. Nature

   Okay, I'm not going to lie. I rarely go outside. When I'm home, I love to gaze out my window just about 24/7. There's always a beautiful tree or bird to see out there.

10. Photography

    I'm not the best photographer, but I love taking a photo of the occasional sunset or tree. I love being able to have a physical copy of the memories in my life. 

 (BONUS) 11. Family!

   I couldn't end this without showing my fam some appreciation. Without them, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Thank you to my family for keeping me on my feet and for making sure my head isn't in the clouds! You are all amazing and I love you, always. (Also, thank you mom for the delicious food. I really should start cooking a little more regularly XD).  
                                                                .   .   .   .   .   .

 As always, I kept it short and sweet. I feel like I need to work on having more verbosity, hmm. (I always manage to get off topic in my foot notes, ugh XD).Anyways, those are a few things I've been grateful for lately. What are some things you've been grateful for? Let me know! Oh, and happy (late) Thanksgiving friends! 


                 Peace out guys, 
                                                                 - Sarah

 

where I've been all this time: a rant

November 09, 2018


Hey friends!

Wow...it's been soo long since I've posted on here! Where do I start?
How about I explain why I haven't been on here in a while. Starting early spring of this year, I was super busy finishing all of my high school classes and I graduated in May! That was definitely an experience. It's sort of bittersweet closing that chapter of my life. One good thing is that we never stop learning in life. I started a job in late July of this year. I work as a bagger at my local grocery store and recently I  became a cashier. It can be super fun and also stressful at moments if I'm going to be honest.




Like I mentioned earlier, we never stop learning in life. Some of us are just stupid enough to make the choice to add on more learning than is probably necessary (like me XD). I started my online college classes in October. For now, my major is going to be pharmacy. My classes are math intensive which my brain doesn't enjoy at all. I've found that it hasn't been too bad as I've continued to go along with my courses though. 


So, enough about the past. Let's talk about now! With all of these added responsibilities, I've learned to appreciate a schedule and just productivity in general. I miss making content on here and really hope I can contribute something on here that will you all smile. I really love photography and hope that I can make time in my schedule to take more pictures. I still love books, movies, music, Netflix, and everything I did before. Isn't it great to find out that no matter what situations you're placed into, you can stay the same? That's another topic for another day, but for now, you can count on me to be Sarah. I'm just as weird and quirky as I was before! 

Peace out, 
- Sarah.
