A New Begining

I hate to say it but YOLO. Life is what you make it and I've only started to realize its up to me to go out and experience new things. My favorite motto is 'Dream as if your going to live forever, Live as if its your last day' and I think it describes itself perfectly and is a perfect motto to go by. Everyday could be the same old boring things unless I do something about it. Since finishing school its dawned on me I can do anything I like to do, and that is what I've been doing, making the most of every single day and trying out loads of new things. I have a whole year to find myself and experience as much as I can before going to college and I plan on not wasting a single day. I've surprisingly (to even me) started getting up at 8.30 am which yes was hard in the beginning I like my lie-ins but doing it everyday its just become normal and I instantly feel more awake and find the day much longer. Everyday we wake up is a blessing, so many people wake up ill or in pain so I'm not taking that for granted anymore and the fact that I have a long day to explore and do as much as I can makes everyday even better because at the end of the day I have a list of achievements I'm proud of. Another new thing I've begun is to start the day of right with a huge bowl of fruit and a nice glass of water. Its easy to say you will start eating healthy, I say it every year as my New Year Resolution but finally its just become a everyday thing and I honestly feel so much better and have more energy.
 Something I'am extremely excited about is volunteering at the ISPCA National Animal Center. All I have ever wanted since I was a kid was to work with animals and take care of them, yes I may only be a volunteer but from the moment I sat in the office they said I was part of the team and that is something I took straight to heart. This is my dream job and I couldn't be more happy, you can tell as I was meant to stay an hour the first day and ended up staying four.
Yoga is something I have also found incredible, I was one of those people who thought it was just a hippie-dippie thing where you had to be flexible, but it is so much more than that. I again instantly felt relaxed and I also felt happy it had a strange way of seeing into your mind and bringing out thoughts you actually always had. I've been doing it online through YouTube videos right now as the classes are a little pricey but I still am enjoying it so much.
Another new found hobby of mine is skateboarding. I'll admit I was absolutely terrified the first day and I spent more time sitting on the board than standing but one day it just clicked and I found my balance and ever since I haven't stopped. Every evening I head down with my dog to this old road no one uses and I skate while he gets some of that energy burned off.
From meeting friends for smoothies to going for picnics everyday is unique and every day is what you make of it. I am looking forward to this year and what I will experience, but one thing for sure I'm going to be doing things that make me happy and make the most of my life.

One of my favorite things to do is watch the sunset, it is never the same and will always be one of the most  beautiful things on Earth. Each night before going to bed I look at the stars also, it doesn't matter where in the world you are the stars will always be there and I think that is something each person should remember.
