Could trying something new be exactly what you needed?

I often found, a few years ago, that I would scoff at certain ideas. I thought Snapchat was stupid, I didn’t want to try those escape rooms, that Ice Bucket Challenge seemed idiotic when most people seemed to be doing it for likes and not to donate to the cause it was meant to represent. […]

Not everyone will like you, and more importantly you don’t have to like everyone

I’ll end the title with a but; be nice to everyone as often as possible. Something that took me a while longer than it should to learn this. I still to this day want everyone to at least not dislike me. Not everyone is going to like me; I’m not a super likeable person. As […]

Two Protein Packed Breakfast Recipes

I decided to switch it up and write down my two favourite protein packed breakfast recipes. So here we go! 1. Protein Chocolate Over Night Oats Ingredients 1/2 cup of rolled/ old fashioned oats (NOT quick cooking oats) 1/4 cup of non fat vanilla yogurt (could use Greek for extra protein, but I don’t know […]

Never Feeling Contented

I don’t know if this is a bad thing necessarily. Many people will remark that being content leads to being stagnent and and inability to grow overall. However with me I think that fact that I am never content has been my downfall. I say this specifically regarding my career choice (or lack thereof) and […]

Confidence and Being Slightly Anxious

I will often remark that I tend to be a bit on the anxious side as a general rule. Not to say I have a legitimate anxiety disorder, but I am often anxious about things many people wouldn’t care about. Like the way I interact with my boyfriend’s friends for example. When it’s just a […]

Going Back Is More Difficult Than Expected

I am only three weeks into my single online course and I’m already stressing. The other night I read the same paragraph for about 20 minutes, completely unable to comprehend what I was reading. I cried. It wasn’t even that what I was reading was that difficult; it was a combination of my boyfriend watching […]

Discovering What I Like and What I’m Good At

In my previous post I talked about falling in love with fitness and more specifically powerlifting. This is kind of new to me. I’ve never really had something before that I loved to do. I have friends who are obsessed with books or love art or anime or video games to the point that I […]

Fourth Times the Charm? pt 2

So at this point I’ve been in three different programs and have two basically useless certificates and 20-ish thousand dollars in OSAP loans. Through it all I worked a job at a fast food restaurant. I don’t hate it but I certainly don’t want to be there forever either. I began applying for jobs at […]

Fourth times the charm? pt 1

Figuring out what I want to do with my life has never been an easy task. From a young age I flipped back and forth from one thing to the next. Yes, that’s probably normal for young children to want to be a fire fighter one day and a doctor the next, but for me […]
