The Past Couple of Weeks

The presence on Yow Yow! has been somewhat non-existent for the past couple of weeks and while I am sure some of you may be disappointed by that missing out on news and what not, I am…not!

These past couple of weeks have been the most fun I have had in awhile. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this hard. I’ve never danced so freely. I’ve never scurried so fast between meetings, class, work, hangouts, etc, but I’ve managed to love every minute of it.

In the past two weeks, I have celebrated birthdays and spent time with the most wonderful company I keep. This past week, I found stability – on my own two feet. When I define support, I don’t think of money or compensation. That’s like the cop-out way of thinking of things. I prefer to just stick it to the man, you know? I think of the people around you that are willing to stand by you no matter what and I think of what it means to support and believe in myself.

Even though I’m enjoying my last quarter of senior year to the fullest, there are still aspects in my life that are not fully developed. I am not an adult – not yet anyway.

Here’s why:

  1. I can’t change a tire
  2. I can’t take the bus by myself without feeling slightly uncomfortable
  3. I don’t know how to file taxes
  4. I don’t like cooking meat
  5. I like my stuffed animals (in my defense, they were GIFTS, okay?!)

I mean, of course, I can hire a mechanic for car-related issues and a personal tax accountant to assist me in filing taxes, but I want to learn everything. Being independent is one of my first priorities, and it includes all these things that one might not think to be that important.

I wish I could say that by the time I graduate, I will have all these answers – but let’s be real – I don’t want to work hard for those answers. When college is over, it’s over. I am living in bliss, and while I know that reality is near and that I am somewhat prepared for it, I think that I’m pretty happy right now, and that’s the state I want to and should be in.

Plus, I’ve just got a lot on my plate right now so yeah, that might be the reason why Yow Yow! is lacking.
