Hello all! It has certainly been awhile since I have last written a blog post. I don't know but I hit a wall and couldn't think of any topics to write. I had the urge to write something but every time I would either procrastinate doing it and find something else to do. Now here I am on this beautiful Saturday Morning, after just finishing my delicious breakfast. Baked Oatmeal for the win!! Anyways, I am typing this post on a topic that has been on my mind for quite some time now.
Ambitions? What is an ambition? Well according to merriam-webster.com, an ambition is something that a person hopes to do or achieve. It is a specific goal or end that one has in mind. When we were little kids, we would always dream of becoming the craziest things. One kid wanted to be an astronaut, one wanted to be a scientist, and there was always that one kid who wanted to be the next president. Now that we are much older those dreams are closer to us than before. Of course on the other hand you still have to work to reach those goals, but hey at least you are going after what you want. My ambitions and goals have changed several times while I have aged even though I am still quite young. I remember when becoming a veterinarian was my absolute goal. It was all I ever wanted to do. Now here I am a few years later and my dreams have changed again.
All my life, I have always wondered what I would be good at. I couldn't sing. I DEFINITELY could not dance. And I couldn't play an instrument (Sometimes I wish my mom put me in lessons when I was younger). So what was I good at? Well over the past two years, I have become extremely passionate about one certain, well maybe two certain things. Fitness and Health. Those two components have become a part of me, literally. I have began to be known as the fitness freak out of my group of friends. I don't know but it's just that those two lifestyles are something that I want to incorporate into my career. I have an ambition of becoming a successful personal trailer or "fitness" like Cassey Ho from blogilates or Jillian Michaels. I dream of learning more about healthy cooking like learning more about the vegan lifestyle and incorporating that into my daily life. I would love to write more healthy cooking blog posts.
But all things take time. The world does not just make it easy for you by handing you these things. You have to go out into the world and carve it yourself. This is your life. Go after what you dream and don't let anyone stop you. Just like Nike's slogan, JUST DO IT!

This isn't goodbye..
Wow, who knew how fast four years could fly by. Now here we are approaching the upcoming months of the back to school year, August and September. Friends will be moving up north, to Montana, and to New York. Some of us will stay close by at our local university like myself and a few friends. And some will be near at a community college. But nevertheless we are all starting on a new page.
Yesterday we had one of our last big beach gatherings. At least everyone was there. The main topic of discussion was about college and our majors and how our orientations went. We spent some time reminiscing on our high school days, which give us some slack was only two months ago. We caught up on the latest gossip and played fun little ice breakers for a laugh. Some of us even dared to brave the high tide waves that were so strong they wiped a few of us out including myself, which traumatized me for the day. For the most part though we enjoyed each others company but still avoiding the topic if this was it. If this was the final goodbye. It couldn't be though. right? There was still a few weeks before some of us left for college but for others there was at least a solid less than two months left.
This isn't goodbye. No matter the distance and the many miles that will separate us as we move into our retrospective universities and colleges, the bond and closeness that we all have will not fade. Sure we could go months without speaking, but when you get us all together in the same place, it's like nothing ever changed. All the old conversations will come back. The familiarity and the inside jokes will start to surface in our brains. We will always be the same kids that hung around OUR lunch area. We will carve our own paths in the world. Some will become doctors, engineers, lawyers, writers, marine biologists, chefs, fashion designers, and for me I hope a successful personal trainer with a cute little vegan restaurant. However, our paths will always lead us back to one another. We will catch up on Facebook and have cute little lunch dates and visit the beach together. We will always be a family and distance could never break our family.
This is merely a see you later.
