Don't say goodbye.

Today was another freezing cold day, but thankfully no fresh snow! I knew I would need to layer so I have a skirt on under my top. I had class this morning which was a bore, and then had to work all afternoon. I suppose I should tell you where I work, as all you know is that it is retail. I work at a teenage and young adult consignment shop. For those of you that live in the states and would know the name, I work at Plato's Closet. It is so cheap, and my employee discount makes it even cheaper. I buy all of my clothes there, I just cannot justify spending full price.

I am currently struggling to decide where I want to go to college next year. I have been accepted to three colleges, and am waiting for one more decision. My big dilemma is if I want to leave Minnesota or not. Oh well, I'll figure it all out eventually!

I am gonna say this now just for the record, I hate guys. No guy ever stays the same. Gahh! I have such strong feelings right now! Even though I hate starting things with guys, I am currently starting something. Well, wish me luck!

Don't make me.

So today it snowed another 3-4 inches. I am beginning to dislike the snow, we have gotten so much this year! Figured I needed some tall, semi-waterproof boots with knee high socks and two pairs of tights to stay warm. I love this dress, it is the perfect color and is made of Cupro and Rayon so it has a great texture. I got it at work and the designer is Ella Moss.

The snow made the drive into my college quite the trip. Normally the drive is only 25 minutes, but today it took me an hour and a half! Traffic is horrible for me because I end up getting so bored just sitting there.

Well, I am off to do more homework. I registered for five classes this semester!! EEKK! I always have hours of work to do. I am taking Anthropology of Religion and it is kicking my butt! I have so much work to get done, but the class is really interesting so it is worth it.

remembering sunday

Well, it was an interesting weekend.  Friday was my 18th birthday, celebrated that night with some friends. Also got my belly button pierced which was an adventure! The only problem is that I can't wear my high-waisted skirts or my tights while the piercing is healing because they irritate it!
Saturday night I had to babysit. Then Sunday I just sat at home and did all my homework, laundry, and cleaned my basement. A relaxing day was just what I needed.

Today I realized that my life is mine to live. No one can control me.
Why should I let people bring me down? Who cares what other people think about me?
I am myself, individual, my own person, and I am beautiful.
I just wish everyone would have this revelation. I feel free at last.

Meaning.

Okay so, let's start with the basics...
My name is Jessie.
I live in Minnesota, it is practically arctic here currently. Minnesota is a love hate with me, somedays I love it here, other days I just want to leave.
I am currently 17, but turn 18 in 26 days! In a way I am excited, I mean it is like the official start of my life, but I am also scared because I have to clue what I want to do with my life.
I currently attend a community college even though I am technically a high school senior.  Going to a community college was the best decision I have ever made.  I hated high school because I can't stand drama. 
Like I have already said, I have no clue what I want to do with my life.  I do have a few ideas though. I love working with people, especially those who really need my help, leading me to want to go into Social Work.  I also love using my brain and excel at math and science, leading me to want to go into Chemistry. But just this past year I have really started to love writing.  My Freshman Composition teacher was very impressed with my writing and suggested I register for a Creative Writing course at the college, so I did.  We will see where that takes me!
I am spiritual. I am still trying to figure out exactly what God means in my life, but I have a pretty good idea.
My family is very important to me.  I have one younger sister.  Sometimes we get along, sometimes we don't.  Since I do not go to my high school, I do not have many friends from school, although I do have a few from my college. 
I love my job.  I work in retail.  Since I got this job my closet has drastically expanded.  I have gotten to the point where I have to get rid of something for every new thing I get.  My style has also changed immensely.  I used to be the type of girl who would walk around in sweatpants and Ugg boots, but that isn't me anymore.  I am always dressed up. I will show some of the outfits I wear on here, just so you get an idea.

This blog is mainly going to be about me trying to decipher who I really am.

New to this.

Well, decided to start blogging. I really have no clue what I am doing, so this will be an adventure!
