Accomplishments

Today in class I was asked to write a letter about what I have accomplished this semester. I had to think long and hard about this before I even came up with one thing. Thinking about my accomplishments made me realize that I have not been living to my full potential. I could do WAY better at my school work, I could get to know a lot more people, I could just randomly go have a snowball fight for no reason. I need to live more in the moment and to stop planning every single little thing. I need to just go out there and just have a blast with the people I know and the people that I will meet!

Life is too short to regret not going and doing something. I need to just let loose! ;) haha I know that I have changed since I have arrived at college, but I don't notice it that much till I talk to people from back home. My mother came to visit me a while ago and she asked me what I had done with her little Ashley haha I said I am still her but just an upgraded version. :) An Ashley 2.0 :)

I have to admit that now that I am away from home and on my own I feel so much more independent! I like the freedom it allows me. It has also made me think about where I want to spend the rest of my life. If I can stand being a few hours away from my parents or if I would have to be closer to them. I think that I could stand being a few hours away. Don't get me wrong, I love my family with all my heart, but I also love the freedom and independence that being away gives me. I like to know that I can figure out something on my own without having to ask my parents to help me. Of course there is nothing wrong with getting their help. I just like to have the chance to figure things out on my own.
