Growing up, on purpose.

So, I just did my school schedule along with coordinating my daily activities, so that one may be able to actually sleep. Recently, along with my little break from school, I've only been taking one, maybe two classes at a time, but I'm literally never going to finish at that rate and I have a deadline of the age of 25, set by me, and I need to make it. That being said, I've schedule 4 classes this semester. One may think that's not that much, or at least normal, but I work full time. Monday through Friday, 6am to 2:30pm. Big chunk of the waking day, I know. You may say, oh well at least you have the weekends off. Well, I have a Saturday class from 8am to 4pm. Big chunk of waking day. My only "off times" are Friday evening, and then all day Sunday. For those of you that are currently in school with high level classes or any non-bullshit classes know that that is very well NOT enough time for crucial studying and homework doing. But I have to do it, it's just going to take more effort than I've been giving, and it has to stay constant. I have to grow up, on purpose, and get it done.

I say grow up on purpose because I've been purposely doing things, changing things, and NOT doing things that I consider a worldy adult does and what I should be doing to be a true adult. Now, it may seem I'm doing things based on someone else or some "mold" I've seen but I'm really sat down and tried to figure out why I want to do the things I'm doing, and I can honestly say, I want to do them because I want to do them.

What have I been doing?

I've cut off MTV. About 11 months clean now.

Most TV off, besides HGTV and FoodNetwork. See nothing wrong with that. lol

I've stop drinking. About 6 months clean now.

Started reading more, fiction and non-fiction.

Tried to wrangle my vanity, cut off all my hair.

Become more conservative with my spending.

Stop going to "parties" or functions where nothing really productive comes out of it besides watching those around me drink themselves silly. (Not anti-social, just selective on whom I spend time with)

I don't go to clubs at all.

I've decided, starting today, to no longer look at any celebrity gossip blogs, my indulgence, seeing how that provide no useful info my life and helping me reach my goals, but in fact take time away from what I can be doing to better myself.

I just feel I've done it all and it's time to stop and see what's better out there and more so see what will help me be the best ME I can be.
