2019 Year In Review

     
        Hey everyone, Happy New Year! It's crazy that it is officially 2020! Another decade is down and another has just begun. Today I decided for my first blog of the new year that I would talk about my year in review! 2019 was a great year for me which was a relief. It felt so good to have such an amazing year. Anyways let's get right into it!

2019 year in review! 

        I can definitely confidently say that this year has been a great year overall. I mean, of course, this year had its ups and downs, but this year I feel like I found myself in a way. I grew a lot personally and also my channel has grown. I also felt like I became closer with lots of friends which has made me super happy 

       At the beginning of the year, I found out that I will be graduating college in May of 2020! I was super happy and ecstatic because I have been in college since late August 2014, after I graduated high school. From community college to transferring this journey has been a lot longer than expected. I have learned though to accept my experience and now that everything that has happened has been meant for a reason. 

        In March of this year, I also started a new journey as far as content creating. I posted my first blog on March 21st. I have loved this journey and starting a blog was never something I thought I would ever do. I'm just more of talking on camera kind of girl so I never saw myself writing blogs, even though I have always loved writing. I feel like this journey though has given me so much. I have added another outlet and I couldn't be more grateful for this opportunity and one of my dear new friends for encouraging me and helping me learn this new platform this year. 

        In May of this year, I started working my first "corporate job" meaning I started working as a cashier like at a store. It's a corporate job because it's a job that isn't like nannying or dog sitting. I was super happy and proud when I got my job. I feel like in the past I would go on interviews and I would try my hardest, but I would never see it my way. I felt like I manifested this though. I told myself it would happen and look it IT DID! I really liked my job. I mean, sure some things were annoying about the job, but in the case of this being my first "real job" I think it was a good one. I love talking to the people that I would encounter and I had some cool co-workers too. Some of the women my age on the job were pretty cool.

      I also let a toxic friendship go. It was something that weighed on me for a while now. I feel like in general, I did have some good times with this person, and I think somewhere deep down they were good, but I knew for me and my mental health I couldn't continue being with this person. I knew that we weren't meant to be friends anymore. I have a whole blog post on the situation read here! Cutting off the relationship was a relief. It gave me happiness and I have made new friends because of it. I will also say that I still think of this person a good amount which a part of me hates. I hate that they even take up space in my head. I know that I will never forget this person, but I know moving forward this friendship brought something into my life. It showed me who my true friends are and that there are true friendships out there for me.

         On a semi-happier note, I started my last year of college which as I said is so surreal after being in school for so long. This semester I hit some bumps, but with the spring semester starting at the end of this month I'm gonna tackle those bumps and I will get my degree. It's happening! It may not have the ending I expected, but I'm happy to be almost there!

        Also, I went on my first girl's trip with my mom! I went to NYC with my mom for the first time and it was amazing! The trip brought a lot of things for me, but it was definitely the trip of a lifetime for me! I did lots of things that I honestly never thought I would have the opportunity to do.

          I also Recorded a travel diary for my whole trip which is bellow, but I also explained the whole trip here!

      To close off the year I would love to talk about my online journey for the year! At the beginning of the year, I hit 300 subscribers and just about maybe a month or so ago I hit 400 subscribers on my channel. I'm super grateful for all the support people give me. For me, it's not about gaining millions of subscribers. I would love to hit a big milestone sure, but that isn't my main goal. I always want to love the content I make. It isn't about getting all the views for me. There are many videos that I love that I made this year. I love them all don't get me wrong, but there are those specific ones as well that really stick out to me. For example like my #embraceyourbeautiful series, or my ranking series, or even just my day to day videos!

       As for this coming year, I want to just keep growing with my channel! I would love to hit 500 subscribers. I feel like I would be lying if I said that wasn't a goal for me. I also really want to grow my Instagram! I'm not going to talk about my new year's resolutions now because honestly, I don't even know what they are yet. That will be a separate blog post or video to come. Thank you, everyone, for a great 2019! It's so easy to leave this year in the best knowing that it was a good one.

        I'm so ready for 2020! 

       BRING IT!
