End of the World

With the impending doom of the world, it seems like an unlikely time for me to want to change my life. However, there's no better time than the present- since life is a gift.

I just graduated college a few weeks ago. I need to find a job in my career path, and I'm pretty worried I won't. I'm so pessimistic and anxious about finding a job that I am not trying... and would settle for anything really (just about anyways) right now.

If that isn't enough stress, I want to quit smoking and seriously cut back on my drinking. I already quit popping pills, which is a little difficult, but smoking and drinking will be the hardest thing for me to stop. I self-medicate with these substances when I should really be getting help in a different way. And I have a plan...

To relieve stress, build my self-esteem and become more active I am going to start a weight-loss plan. For classes in the past year I had to blog and learn about all this emerging media rhetoric. I am going to blog about my struggles and achievements through this journey. This summer I am going to try to get back to what I weighed in high school: 120 lbs. I'll write about how I exercise and keep a food journal on here.

I need to be completely honest with myself and the world in order to make a positive change in my life. So, as long as the world does not end today, we'll see how my plan pans out.
