Mission? Whatever happened to that idea?

So I am still planning on going, although I may have lost some of the initial momentum of the goal setting process, but I am still on the high road!  I have been keeping to my budget and I have increased in my testimony.
I am not so much keeping to my exercise plan, although that will be more important when I go home for the holidays; currently I have been doing a lot of exercise just as a result of being a college student, but as I go home and no longer have the necessity to walk to classes and up and down stairs, I will need to re-implement my exercise plan.
I have been practicing the piano, and working with harder material, and it has been quite frustrating but I must stick it out. It will be worth it.
Overall It has created a sub-thread of self improvement in my life, while it is not at the forefront of my brain constantly, it still affects my decisions.

Drowning in Birthday Cake

With another birthday come and gone, I am once more faced with the concept of growing up and becoming wholly independent. (The fact that I got no birthday cake says it all haha.)

Ever since I was little, I understood that one day I would become a "grown up" and bear responsibility for myself.  Now that that time has come and the weight is shifting more and more from my parents shoulders to my own, I cannot help but feel that I am essentially drowning in responsibility.

The world is a very scary and intimidating place, with bills and job searches and education and...well either you get it already or you will.

I decided there are two main things that an adult needs to feel more confident in being an adult.
1.Learn to drive...get a licence














2.get a job so you know that you can support yourself















Unfortunately the whole driving thing continues to elude me...I suppose it comes with practice and persistence.
