Diet and Nutrition

As of Thursday during class, I was doing a terrible job on our goal. Our goal was to not eat as much fast food, which, for me I would say about once a week to start out with, and from Tuesday to Thursday between class, I went twice. Also, we had a goal of eating healthier snacks, which wasn't so easy for me, especially since I had no healthy snacks with me AND it was finals week, so I snacked a lot while I was studying. We also had a goal of not eating two hours before we go to bed, which didn't work so well since it was finals week and I was up snacking until the mintue I chose to stop studying. Our other goal was only one pop a day IF we have to, which I did a great job on because I don't drink pop. Since Thursday's class, I have been doing a great job. I haven't eaten any fast food and I haven't eaten for the last two hours before I went to bed either and I feel better. I did have a problem with snacking though. That is my greatest problem, but now since I am not at home, maybe I will do a better job. But I am doing better!

Personal growth

In terms of personal growth lately, I have been talking to my family a lot more often. I tried to make it a goal for myself to call my parents at least once a day or once every other day. This has helped me to keep in touch more. I also got a new job here in Wayne. I feel like I am more productive now and I feel like I am making a difference. My job has always been very important to me and I haven't had once since I moved up here this year so now I feel like I have a sense of accomplishment every day I get off of work. I have also, somehow, kept very very busy with homework and everything and haven't really had a chance to hang out with my friends so now that we have settled down and everything, we are finding more and more time to get together. I have been trying to eat better and trying to go on an occasional walk also but I believe that I could do a better job at that.

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are"-Kurt Cobain
I have never head this quote before but it is so true. It is very inspiring to me and it really makes me think. Everybody has their own unique characteristics but they are so focused on impressing others and fitting in but in reality, that is what gets people further in life. People should not go through life trying to be just like someone else. You only know yourself and how to be at yourself. That is what you are best at. Why would you take your best quality and waste that away? God put you on earth for a reason and he made you the way you are for a reason. Everybody has a purpose in this life and if they want to be someone else they are wasting their own self because you cannot inspire people if you are trying to be someone else.
