I have a serious addiction, a shopping addiction. I don't spend a lot of money on one thing or another but I buy a lot of things for a little amount of money which isn't any better. I literally wake up in the mornings and the first thought in my head is "I want to go shopping." If i could shop all day I would be in heaven. I love clothes, purses, rings, necklaces...everything! I've tried to cut down and stop spending so much money and it works for a little bit but then it all comes back and I want to shop even more...!!! Help!

I've been saying that I wanted to take a semester off, well it's happening. Not in the way I would like it too, but I got dismissed from school due to a low GPA. When I first found out, I was somewhat a mess, I was crying my eyes out, couldn't eat, and only wanted to sleep. Now this only lasted about 2 days and I realized that this is what I've wanted, who cares if this wasn't supposed to happen like this. It did. So now the only thing I can do is embrace the fact that this is what I wanted, it's a huge (but great) change. I'll still be taking 2 classes, ones that I got incompletes in last semester (which is why my GPA was low) and after those get done I'll be able to go back to school. I think this is a great time to work on myself. To make myself healthy and happy, to declutter and destress my life.

I'm bringing in the new year sitting in an apartment in Dubai, I didn't go out and do anything crazy or go to any parties and I'm completely content with that. I am however bringing in the new year by creating a new blog. I was this year to a good year, not that last year wasn't but I had a lot of hard times and was stressed a lot of the time. So my new years resolution is change. I want to change my life, I want to wake up in the mornings and be happy to start my day. I want to be more organized, do well in school, save money, and go on adventures. This is the year it will all happen, I can feel it.
