Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everybody, I hope you all have a safe and fun day.

How many of you celebrate Halloween, do you have any traditions on Halloween?

Why I get my groceries delivered?

I hope everyone is doing well!

I get my groceries delivered to my dorm because I am still struggling with impulse control when it comes to shopping and I don’t have a vehicle to get back to my dorm with all of my impulse purchases. The combination of these factors means that I spend a lot of money for stuff I don’t need and then I injure myself trying to carry everything back to my dorm.

Why I Think I Am On The Autism Spectrum.

Why I Think I Am On The Autism Spectrum.

I believe that I may be on the autism spectrum because of a variety of reasons. For many years, I have considered this because I always felt different than all of the other kids. I’ve never been great at interacting with people my age, I’ve always been much better with younger kids and animals.

These thoughts have recently resurfaced due to the appointment where my doctor started treating me…

Small Town Things

Living in a small town is so strange, especially a farming town. For my grade 12 graduation, half of the girls were wearing cowboy boots with their grad dresses, and most of the boys were wearing cowboy boots and huge belt buckles with their grad suits. I also think I remember one or two boys wearing cowboy hats as well.

Huge Accomplishment!!

I have recently achieved something that I had previously thought was impossible! On Thursday, July the 18th, I successfully “worked” as a “cashier” at a ice cream/fresh fruit booth at an event without having a panic attack!

For two hours, I worked as a cashier selling fresh BC fruit and taking tickets for ice cream! The reason I started helping at this booth is because they had a huge line up…

5 Tips For New College Students

5 Tips For New College Students

Hey everyone, hopefully you are all having a good day! Today I am going to list some tips for new college/university students (or returning students) that I wish I had known before I left for college.

Number 1: Buy a formal “work” outfit.

It doesn’t need to be super expensive, I bought most of mine at a Giant Tiger store. Just a simple white blouse/button-down shirt, black pants and/or…

Why I Dye My Hair

Why I Dye My Hair

Hello everybody, I hope you are having a great day!

As many of you know, I have social anxiety. (If you have no clue what I am talking about, feel free to click this link to read “My Story” post.)

Having social anxiety causes me to be incredibly aware of others and how they may perceive me. Often, when I am in social scenarios, I will be experiencing intrusive thoughts. These intrusive thoughts…

This is my list of 10 ways to say Thank You.

Verbally say thank you. This may seem obvious but we have a tendency to take everything for granted and forget to thank others for their efforts, help, or presence.

I got a job!!!

I got a job!!!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to update you all. On May 1st, I started my first full time summer job.

I am a “nanny”, childcare provider, for three young girls for the whole summer.

I’ve been loving working with these girls, especially because they are great ages to help teach them about nature, science, and how to manage their own emotions and feelings.

I’m hoping to help them learn how to manage…
