Becoming an Adult- Adult


Howdy!

Well this past week has been a fun one. I started it out in not such a great place then ended it on could nine. I know that's a far stretch fir anyone in the matter of a couple days.

But I don't wanna focus on the bad part of the week. So I will tell you this, I have the most amazing friends in the entire world. They are always wanting to help me even when I have pushed them away for the last six months or so. Without them I don't think I would be here today.

So, I have determined that I need to stop trying to figure out life and just let it happen and enjoy it as it does happen. You never know who Heavenly Father is going to place in your life and you have to be ready for these amazing people at any given time. And I defiantly wasn't ready this last time.

BUT wait.... I am getting ahead of myself here let me back up to my 21st birthday and go from there. :)

So this past Friday (July 27th) was my 21st birthday. I know crazy, right?!? How on earth did I become old enough do legally do most anything... I don't know where my childhood went. I remember being in like the 3rd grade thinking that growing up would never ever happen and I would just be stuck as a kid for ever... Oh boy was I wrong!

SO for my birthday I decided to have some fun like kids do... We went bowling, mini-golfing, ate at iHop, then went to a bar to dance not drink :P.

It was soooo much fun. We did crazy different way of bowling like spinning around in circles, closing our eyes... and even texting and bowling at the same time. No one surprisingly was hurt during this. Yay us! Mini-golf was a crazy adventure, I lost epically. I was like16 below par. Oh well at least I has fun. Then we all were super hungry and so we went and ate dinner at iHop. It was yummy! I got a burger, stuffed french toast and of course since it was my birthday the iHop people sang and we had ice cream.

Then it was time for cake! I know that sounds like a lot of food, and it was! But i blew out my candles and no one ate the cupcakes.

We then went to Hurricane Harry's for some good ol' country dancing. When we arrived at Harry's we were carded of course. This was funny because a week before we went and the guy was giving me a hard time about not being 21, well this week he tried tellin my I.D. was fake. He was messing with me and let me in. Once we got in no one was there so we all had a fun time just chilling and dancing by ourselves.

So as most of y'all know I am not much into dancing, I will do it but I mean I don't know how to and I enjoy more so watching people doing it than doing it myself. Well, luck would have it that I would be dancing most of the night.

I forgot to mention that at iHop my friend Sara asked if a friend of her;s could join us. I said yes, because I had heard of him before I just had not met him. Little did I know what would happen from saying yes.

So this boy who came to dinner also came with us to go dancing, because he loves to dance. And I didn't think much of it until it actually came time to dance. He made me get out of my comfort zone and actually get up off my lazy butt and dance. He would not take no for an answer. I told him repeatedly that I don't dance, and that I didn't know how to. He made it his goal to teach me. Well he kinda did, let's just say by the end of the night i was much better.

Well, 2am came and the bar people kicked us out so we went to the parking lot and talked for a while. Slowly one by one everyone was leaving. So we said our good byes and then it came time to say good bye to this random boy. He had kinda grown on me by this point and I was good with being friends so I got his number and he said good bye.

Well, after i got home I had a texting conversation with said boy and fell asleep while talking to him, which isn't out of the ordinary.

The next day we talked pretty much the whole day and he even ask me out for that night which I gladly said yes to.

We went and got ice cream then went to a park and watch the star and talked, I know he's got some smooth moves right? :P It was an awesome first date, which will be followed by amazing second and third and forth and so on dates.

This weekend didn't go the way I had planned at all. I didn't expect to meet a boy that could make me laugh so much and make me feel like a princess. I guess this just prove that Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways, and we just need to be open to his plan for us.

And for all you pessimistic people out there, I am choosing to not to over think this. I tend to ruin great and wonderful things by over thinking. Yes, I know what could happen. Yes I realize this could be a mistake. But, I also realize that if I don’t at least take the risk I could be missing out on something amazing. So I am choosing to take it one adventure at a time until I know without a doubt that it is not going to work, but right now things are looking pretty awesome.



And girls, be careful what you wish for, you never know who is waiting just around the corner.



Remember that when life gets hard to keep moving forward and to...

Always Smile!

HOW COULD I FORGET!!!!

Howdy!

Oh my goodness I totally forgot to tell y'all about my fantastically amazing fundraiser I am doing!

Right now I am planning to shave my head to raise money for Kids with Cancer. I know I am absolutly insane but I am doing it not only for the kiddos but for Brian, who my other blog is about.

New look, and a lot of new news!


Howdy!

So as y'all can tell I have gotten yet another new look for my wonderful blog... but that's just how I roll. I am liking the new look and can't wait to keep y'all more updated about life as Teasha.

Well, as you all know I am probably the most indecisive person in the entire world... that being said my major has once again changed....

I know what you're thinking "Oh big surprise, I saw that coming a mile away...."

Before y'all go jumping to conclusions let me refer back to my last post back in January...

I was honestly wanting and hoping to go to culinary school. I got my hopes up higher than they had been in a while. But when it came down to it, I sadly couldn't afford it. It was hard but I know that what's meant to be will happen. I just gotta keep moving forward.

So, after the dream of owning my own bakery disappeared (for now at least), I took an 8-week class at Blinn and started up with all my Student Government activities which includes me being on the Texas Junior College Student Government Associations Executive Board for this coming school year... I don't wanna bore y'all with the details but I know I am awesome! :P

Speaking of Me being awesome... I was excepted into a very elite internship. They accept less applicants than Harvard does. Where might this internship be you ask... Drum roll please...................... The National Society of Leadership and Success. I basically am starting an honors society on campus for students who want to be leaders. Whoop! Yay me!

Another cool thing that has kept me busy and away from updating everyone is that I was on a campaign. Yes, a real political campaign. I was helping a local candidate run for Texas House of Reps! How cool is that? Not too many people my age can say that they have worked on a campaign. Well even though I worked my butt off we lost by 61 votes and I once again had to move on with my life.

(Sorry I am trying to update y'all in a very quick way so y'all are only getting snippets of what actually happened.)

During all of this I was working at the wonderful land of Kroger (a grocery store for those of you who might not know) and hating it. Don't get me wrong I loved my co-workers... or most of them. But I absolutely hated my job itself. So as soon as I could I got out of there. I am now currently working in an office and I LOVE IT!! Things work wise couldn't be better.

As for life in general, thing are pretty good at the moment. I am getting ready to go to Georgia for The National Society of Leadership and Success and couldn't be more excited. Then next week is my BIRTHDAY!!! I am going to be an adult adult!!! In case you are wondering an adult is 18 but an adult adult is 21 because you can then pretty much do anything...no that I will.

Seeing as how this is one very important birthday I get to celebrate it in one of the most amazing ways possible, at the happiest place on earth, yes folks I mean Disney World! I am waaaay excited and can't wait!

Well that's all I have for now, be looking for more posts more often. Remember that when life gets hard to keep moving forward and of course don't forget to...

Always Smile!

Financial Aid...SUCKS!!!

Howdy!

Well, as you might be able to guess by the title, Financial Aid is horrible. I had a meeting to talk with one of the people at the Art Institute about how much school is going to cost and holy cow! I was expecting it to cost an arm and a leg but not two arms and both legs. :P

While talking to Mr. Scott, my financial aid adviser, I was hopeful that I would be able to get grants and loans, and that would cover all the cost of school, I was was wrong. I was wrong by about $15,000 and that's only for the first 3 quarters of school.... So really it's more then double that...

I know you must be wondering... How in the world is Teasha going to find the money to go to this school? Well, you are on the same page as me. I got off the phone with Mr. Scott, I kinda sorta started to freak out :P I started to look for scholarships, and look into more loans, but with little to no luck.

So, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I think what I am going to have to do is put off school for another year or so, find a bakery or somewhere similar to work at and just save save save until I have the money to make all my dreams come true.

Speaking of which, this has nothing to with me but more you, yes you who ever might be reading this. I know that following your dreams sounds scary and that you might not want to put forth the effort; but trust me when I say it's worth it. Before I decided to become a baker, I was going to traditional college, and I loved it but hated classes. I didn't go to school because I want to learn, I went because I was in Student Government. Yes, I know that's very dorky, but it's a lot of fun. SGA was the best thing I could have done but it was also the hardest to leave. I left everything I had planned with SGA to go after my own dreams. Which for those of you who know me, that's CRAZY! I never do anything that would help myself i am a pathological people pleaser. I would much rather make others happy and make myself miserable, then put my needs first. I have recently realized this is no way to live my life, and since then I have never been happier. So, I guess my point is that no matter how hard it might seem to achieve your dreams, GO AFTER THEM! I don't care what they are just do it! You'll never have a regret if you try, but if you don't you could miss out on a wonderful experience. I know it sounds easier to say then do, but please at least give it a try? PLEASE??? And then once you do let me know how it goes! I'm sure it will be awesome! Maybe not at first kinda like with my baking dream but it will all work out in the end. Come what may and love it, right? ;)

Always Smile!

Baking is my passion!!!

Howdy!

So as you all can tell I have started a new blog to go with my new adventures. My old blog was kinda sad and depressing, so here is to a happy joyful bright future, whoop!

I have recently decided that I do not enjoy traditional college. I mean I loved my extra curricula but other than that I hate school, and when I say hate I mean HATE! I would try to get out of going to class as much as I possibly could, if there was a reason to ditch I would grab it as fast as I could. So one day last semester my mentor told me to find what I was passionate about and make that my career. At the time I had no idea what he meant, but that sent me on a jounry to figure it out.


As I set out on what i thought was going to be a long unending process of finding my passion, I would get stressed and go to the kitchen to bake something, which would make me feel much better. This is where I realized that baking was the one thing I would love to do and get paid for it. So, I started looking into culinary school. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this.


After looking up different schools online, I found the one. The Art Institute of Austin. It is the perfect school for what I want to do. It has a Baking program that sounds like it would be the most wonderful thing in the world. So I learned what I could about it, have talked to the admissions people and have applied to become a Bakery student and become a professional baker... I KNOW!!!! Crazy right?


Right now I am waiting to see how much this endeavor is going to cost me.... It going to be one pretty penny I can tell ya that much. :P Stay tuned for more adventure and maybe even a baking diary with pictures and recipes... if you're luck!


Always Smile!
