Just a day away...

In actuality, it's only 13 hours away. 
Here I sit in my teacher's aide class, at 11 a.m. thinking about one of the most bittersweet days yet. My last day of high school could quite possibly be tomorrow. (Insha'Allah it is) 

About a week or two after my Senior year of high school started, I decided that I wanted to graduate high school a semester early. I'd get to participate in the football season senior activities, so that was good, and I wouldn't come to school for the second semester, except for senior activities at the end of the year, and that sounded even better! I mean, you wants to go to school for 5 extra months?! Not me! I spoke to my counselor and he told me my options and I just went with it. I've had to basically not have a life since senior year started, which is fine since I'd rather have a life and not be in school rather than be in school and have a life. 

I've been working so hard towards this goal and I'm not finished yet. I still have a little while to go to finish a class but I'm determined and motivated to get the rest of it done this weekend insha'Allah. 

That would mean I'd come to school the day after I finish and I'd graduate that morning. The excitement is real! Who wouldn't love that?! This is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It is kind of sad that I'm cutting my senior year short but I'm not into being in school for much longer. To be honest, I originally hated the new administration and the strictness of the district MY SENIOR YEAR. I guess seeing all the people around me and everything that happens here everyday is motivation to get out of it. Haha. 

Although I will not miss the classes, and I won't miss very many people or teachers (very few of both) I will miss being in high school, eventually. For now, I'm just going to enjoy my last hours of high school, then I shall enjoy the MONTHS of freedom that I will gladly take. Insha'Allah. 

There's so much for me to come and I'm so excited for the year to TRULY unravel. 2014, the new year, will truly start when I'm graduated. I have so many plans that I'm beyond excited for. Insha'Allah everything works out for everyone. 

My excitement is through the roof! Wouldn't have been able to do any of this without Allah SWT. Alhamdulillah. ❤

Mic Check 1 2...

Assalamu Alaikum all! 

It surely has been a while, but to be completely honest, I knew I wouldn't regularly post on my blog. My apologies, but sometimes life leads you in different directions. 

2014 has begun, and I won't promise a thing. I can't promise to post every day, although I'd love to, mainly because I'm not promised every day, and a girl gets busy sometimes. 

So, lets do a recap of 2013, shall we? 
(Btw, this is the closest thing I have to making a video, so until I have time to sit down and film/edit/upload a formal/informative video, I shall blog. Hope you don't mind reading.) 

The year two-thousand-thirteen; 
So many things have happened. This has probably been the best, most life changing year of my life. 

•I've grown way closer to so many people, and it feels like we've been this close for years. I'm so thankful for the people that have entered my life in different ways this year. Don't know who I'd be today without the impact that they've had on my life. Alhamdulillah

•On the contrary, I've shed many people from my life. I'd like to call them "friends that I never knew". Alhamdulillah. I'd like to think that fits them perfectly. I don't mean that in a negative, mean, malicious way either. I think a huge part of that has to do with myself. I'll get more into detail with that (or not) in a bit. Once again, Alhamdulillah. 

I made my best "material" purchase ever this year. Alhamdulillah it was made possible for me. 

•Well, I've almost completely changed I would say. The biggest change has been mentally and spiritually. That makes up who I am more than anything. I'm so thankful for that and a lot of it is due to the people Allah has brought into my life. All of the right people I would like to think. 
Alhamdulillah. 

•I've become more positive, stronger, more hard working, less lazy, smarter, and wiser. The list goes on and on. Alhamdulillah.

•Last but certainly not least, I've made so many plans for projects and a lot more things!!! I can't wait to reveal those to y'all when the time is right. 2014 will insha'Allah be the best year of my life thus far. So many life changing events will be taking place. Stay tuned!!! 


I wish you the best, always. ❤
