  • 30 Goals Before 30

    Update 12/05/12:

    I have sadly not done much of the goals on my list. Unfortunately some take time and money and I have neither. I have accomplished a lot reaching my 30s. I have 15 days left in my 20s and I am very sad to see them go. My 20s have been filled with lots of emotions. I grew up a lot, I’ve learned life lessons, I have continued my education and I have found a best friend who I want to spend the rest of my life with. I’m not going to lie, turning 30 is a little scary. I always heard the older you get the faster life passes you by. I am truly starting to see that now. I am seeing that every moment counts, that we shouldn’t take things for granted and we need to express to those we love that we love them. I have encountered freedom, moving away from home thousands of miles away with no family but a true friend who till this day is my family. Yoli – You are my best friend and my sister, without you I would have not been able to survive Cali, and I will continue to love you and cherish you in my life. I miss you every day I don’t get to see you, and although we don’t always talk, you are always in my thoughts. With Yoli I gained a family. I gained three beautiful nephews that I adore. They are young men now and I love them dearly.

    After moving back from Cali I experienced a life lesson some should never have to go through. Lost love and financial hardship. I pulled through and survived both. My families support helped me surpass what I thought at the time was one of the hardest things I had to go through. Then I found my best friend. My boyfriend has been there with me and has supported me going through school and finishing my Associates, Bachelors and now my Masters Degree. Although I didn’t get to finish my degree before reaching 30 I will be done by the end of next year, and this is an achievement to be very proud of.

    I am now entering what they call “the prime” and although I rather stay in my 20s it’s looking like I don’t have a choice. For my 30th my boyfriend is taking me to San Francisco, California. I am excited to spend my birthday over there and see another one of my best friends. I have lost friends and gained friends, and although I have gone through struggles, I would not change one thing. Every hardship, every tear, every laughter and smile has made me into who I am today.

    Let’s hope 30s are even better than my 20s. Let’s see what it has in store for me…..

    Update 07/31/12:

    Sadly I have not done the ones that mean the most on this list. I have crossed out the ones that I have accomplished, and I feel I should change a few things on here…. Thoughts in process….


    Update: June 2011

    I have recently purchased a home with my boyfriend so I can now cross out a few things on my list before 30. The ones in bold were ones I had already done when I made the list and the ones with the line through them are the current goals I’ve achieved. What are your goals?

    30 Goals Before 30

    30 Goals Before 30… Let’s just say I don’t have that much time, yet I’m willing to try and get 30 Goals done before I’m 30! I got the idea of writing out my 30 goals before 30 from a good friend of mine. As I was reading her blog on Clothes, I discovered another post she wrote about called “30 Goals Before 30”. I thought to myself… WOW What a great idea. So of course I asked Vanessa if I can borrow her idea and make my own 30 Goals Before 30 and she was more than thrilled to see what my goals are. If you want to check out Vanessa’s Goals you can visit her website Vanessa-Michelle.com.

    So where do I begin…The goals highlighted in Bold are the Goals I’ve already reached and all the rest are goals I hope to achieve before I’m 30.

    Goals

    1. Go sky diving <– I would still love to do this… so maybe this will be a goal to do in my 30s…
    2. Travel to one new State each year (So far so good)
    3. Get a pet
    4. Go to the Regatta (Lost that one, when we couldn’t make it)

    15. Graduate with my Bachelors Degree
    16. Make a dessert from scratch
    17. Make my own recipe meal
    18. Help give good advice to someone who needs it. (I would think I did this one.)
    19. Go to Disney World (I’ve been to Islands of Adventure with my boyfriend but not Disney World). Does Hollywood Studios Count??? We should be going to Magic Kingdom before 30 though… heh – Whoot whoot, this was achieved. We just went for our anniversary 🙂
    20. Go to New York and finish seeing all the things I missed the first trip. (I could have done this, but decided on Chicago instead)

    28. Finish the transition from Soapnights to staging.kristinnicole.com/ <– Okay this is not my fault, this is my bff's fault.
    29. Write a Book (in the works) – Not going to happen before 30…..

  • I had a dream with you the other day

    Dreams – Photo Found on google.com/images

    I had a dream with you the other day

    You wrapped me in your arms and said everything would be okay

    I looked into your eyes and you changed into someone new

    Now I’m feeling lost and so confused.

    You left me without a word, you didn’t say goodbye

    You left me in tears and I didn’t know why

    I loved you for reasons unsaid

    And from one moment to the next you left me for her bed.

    Another person in my life, you come and go as you please

    You don’t say a single word; you just look at me and tease

    But a part of me is happy and a part of me is sad because when,

    I looked into your eyes you changed into someone new

    Now I’m feeling lost and so confused.

    You were someone when I met you

    Then you changed into someone else

    This new you isn’t the person I fell for

    You changed for the worse, you’re lost and incomplete

    The heartache would have been faster if you would have let me be

    But you dragged my heart out; you held it in your hands

    You played with it and let it go, leaving me bewildered and alone

    I looked into your eyes as you changed into someone new

    Now I’m feeling lost and so confused.

    I hide from my shadow trying to cover the pain

    Trying to imagine a world where everything is sane.

    Then one day I found you

    I turned to you and everything felt right

    I see what I was missing

    Someone to make me feel alright

    Someone to make all the worries go away

    Someone to love me in all the right ways.

    When I look into your eyes it’s just you and me

    The person I want to be with

    The person who holds my heart

    The person who makes everything feel better when I’m falling apart

  • Struggling mind

    My mind struggles to think
    I can feel every aspect in my mind trying to focus
    but every time I close my eyes and try to think of nothing
    I can’t!
    It’s in constant motion,
    constant thinking
    negative thoughts, positive thoughts
    but mostly just thoughts.

    How can you get your mind to relax, to just not think of anything at all. Fully focus on nothing and let your body just relax.

    Some say sleep is a form of relaxation.
    Many people don’t remember their dreams, but I dream almost every night.
    Mostly nonsense stuff that doesn’t even make sense.
    When I wake up I feel exhausted sometimes, feeling like that dream had me running for miles.

    My mind has control of me, my thoughts, my dreams my desires. How do you make it stop just for one second?
    Just stop for one second so that I can breath with out feeling the pressure in my head.
    Stop for one second so I can think straight.
    When I read, I’m thinking
    When I lie there, I’m thinking
    When I dream, I’m thinking
    It never just stops, it never just lets me relax, it never just lets me BE ME!

    It’s like a fish in a bowl, swimming in circles for hours, for days until he takes his last breath. I sometimes feel like that, a routine, work, school, play, work, school, play. It never just stops, I never stop.

  • California woman earns college diploma at age 94

    The amazing story of a 94 year old women, finally getting her college diploma:

    Wow I found this article on Yahoo.com, if this does not inspire a student to keep going for their dreams I do not know what will.

    Read on….

    It’s never too late to go back to college and get your college degree. I know you hear that a lot sometimes, but when you hear this story, you might just think I am right.

    The story:

    Hazel Soares is 94 years old and she was able to achieve what most of us do not or feel like we can not accomplish at our age.

    Hazel Soares was one of 500 students to get their dipoma Saturday at Mills College.

    “It’s taken me quite a long time because I’ve had a busy life,” said Soares. “I’m finally achieving it, and it makes me feel really good.” (yahoo.com)

    Hazel Soares has six children and 40 grandchildren and great grandchildren. WOW I know, that is a lot of family, and with that she is the second oldest person in the world to graduate from college. Nola Ochs of Kansas was the oldest to graduate three years ago at the age of 95 and now topped that with a master’s degree in liberal studies from Fort Hays.

    Hazel Soares said she always wanted to go to college but when she was younger the Great Depression was happening and only people who can afford college went. She never gave up on her dream though, and with all in all has managed to do just that. Dream and make it come true. Hazel Soares plans on working for the San Francisco museum after this. I say good for you Soares, GO FOR IT!

    My thoughts:

    This women amazes me in every sense of the word. Sometimes I sit and I complain that College is not for me, how hard it is, and how much sacrifice I have to make to continue working on my education. Why didn’t I finish when I was younger etc etc. You can not change time and you can not change the life you are in. If you want something go for it! Nothing in this world can stop you, if you do not let it. Hazel Soares is an inspiration to many, and I think she will continue to be an inspiration to the students that graduated with her. This just proves to so many of us that when you really put your mind to something, when you really dream about something you want, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

    Whenever you feel like you can not do something, whenever you feel helpless or too old, think about this story and ask yourself, Is it really impossible? I think NOT!

  • Dreams – What do they mean?!?

    Dreams

    I had a dream last night that I had to have surgery, it was so weird though. In my mind they had to take a tooth out, which I have always feared and had dreams about, teeth falling out etc. Last night however it was different…

    My dream

    Last nights dream I was in some type of hospital and this doctor kept prepping me for surgery. She said she had to take my bone marrow out. I didn’t want to have surgery so I kept trying to get away, she said I couldn’t get down from the table, if I touched the floor with my bare feet I would have to get prepped for surgery all over again. After trying to get away for a while, she finally got me on the table and I started falling asleep, when I woke up I felt fine, and the next thing I know I’m heading to this restaurant in New York that I went to with my boyfriend and a few friends, except it was on a beach. My boyfriend was in a wheel chair and I was walking as if nothing happened, I kept thinking to myself and wondering why he was in a wheel chair and I felt just fine. He asked if we can sit outside because inside was too loud, we headed outside and the restaurant was right by the beach, I looked up and the clouds were dark gray, and then I woke up.

    Dream Dictionary:

    Surgery
    To dream that you or someone else is undergoing surgery, signifies the opening of the Self and/or the need for emotional healing. You need to “cut out” or eliminate something from your life. Alternatively, you are feeling the influence of some authority figure. A more literal interpretation of this dream may reflect your concerns about upcoming surgery or about your health.

    I’m not sure if this is accurate, I personally don’t feel like I need to “cut out” or eliminate something from my life. But I’m not sure exactly what to think of this dream. All I know is that it was so clear to me this morning, and it stuck in my head which was awkward…

    “The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don’t know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.”-Unknown
