Oh, it’s my life! Don’t you forget this decade
So, how did this decade go for me? Well, I graduated high school in 2011, with the hopes to become a nurse from MSMC *spoiler alert, that didn’t happen LMFAO* I realized before my first semester of college that was not the route for me. So I moved to LAVC and LAMC, transferred to CSUN in 2015 for Cinema and TV Arts in Electronic Media Management. It’s funny because people would ask me what I wanted to do after, and I had no idea I just said I wanted to be in the media *that should have been my red flag for not knowing* Anyways, I squeezed in 33 units that just so I could graduate in 2016 with all my friends. But I still had no idea what I wanted to do with my career. So when I graduated in 2016, I was on the hunt! Looking for any type of job in the media industry. I’m sure I sent out a thousand applications *not joking* I thought I found something in 2018 but 3 months later it was a quit or potentially be fired situation, so I quit. Not knowing what the heck was going to happen after. At this point in the decade, this was my low point. I didn’t know what to do next or where I would go. Thankfully I was on and off with La-Z-Boy since 2013 so they took me back and gave me the chance to figure out what to do next. So I was back on the hunt again, at this point I was just looking for jobs that made good money. I sent out my resume to anyone and anywhere they would take it. And by luck, a temp. agency reached out to me to see if I was interested in working as an admin in Pasadena. When I told them the travel was not a problem for me, they told me the job I was interviewing with a healthcare company and I was like oh snap I definitely want this job! I was so blessed to get this job, I had an amazing boss and being involved in their meetings made me realize that I love it here and I wanted to work on what I can do to stay here and grow with the company. Which gave me the idea to go back to school and get my Master’s degree *if you know me, then you know I hated school and after I got my Bachelors I SWORE I was never going to go back to school* SIKE never say never… This year was crazy because I got a promotion right before the year ended and I’ve been going ham back in school, every week it’s a new paper, new discussions. But I’m almost there, in 10 weeks I will have a degree in Healthcare Administration. Next year is all about moving forward. No need to look back because all I need to do is look ahead. This was the biggest learning experience for me. They say that you don’t know success until you’ve had a few failures. If that’s the case my success is on its way.
Here are some other facts of this decade I encountered...
I have stopped aging at 25, so I don’t really know how old I am. At least that's what I tell people.
Unfortunately, I lost 2 of my uncles within a span of 3 months in 2018. This was a tough time for my family and for me especially because I never really experienced death with anyone close to me. It seems so silly to say, but it was a new territory with me, and sometimes I still don’t know how to feel but I know they are my new protectors watching over me from above.
My favorite tv shows. I watch a LOT of tv but Vampire Diaries Game of Thrones changed my life
Concerts I went to: Watch the Throne (2011), On the Run (2014), Ariana Grande (2015), Beyonce Lemonade (2016), DRAKE (2016), The Life of Pablo (2016), Bruno Mars 24K Magic (2017) Multiple YG concerts (2016-2019), DRAKE (2019) I really hope I’m not missing anything, but if I am that probably means it was not memorable enough for me to remember.
And the biggest highlight of the decade is my boyfriend. This year has brought us many trials and tribulations, but I know this is just God’s way of testing how strong we are together, and you know what I think we passed. So I know that anything that comes our way in the future, I know we can handle it. I met Mandy back in 2011, we were basically twitter friends until I told him I had a crush on him back in 2014. Then we went on a little break and officially got together on June 12, 2015. And it has been the best I could ask for. Every year we grow as a couple and I am excited about what is to come for this relationship.
