The Reason

So I find myself 20 years old and very misunderstood. Many people get the wrong impression of me or really don't know me at all. The issue is that I myself does not know me. I have a few true friends, but its hard to really find a true friend. A true friend is someone that is someone that cares and is sticking through it all (even when you are a huge bitch for a six month period). The last year has been a bit hard because I went far off the Allie trail that I was never exactly on. My true friends have really helped me through it. Much of my like came trickling down this year, but some friendships stayed strong and thank god for that. Anyways, I would be nowhere without those people. One of the biggest steps thus far was deciding to go after the career that I really love and not become a doctor- what I have been raised to do. I realized I am not failing, because I can do it. I don't want to do it. This decision took nearly a year to finalize. Now, I am about to set off across the world with my true love; traveling. I love to travel. There is nothing better than experiencing life through other cultures. I am studying abroad in Australia beginning in one very short, very packed week. I am so excited, but nervous too- mainly for the plain ride. I am not a patient person so 26 hours of traveling and I may be stir crazy. This will be farthest I have traveled, but by the end of 2012 I hope to go on birth right (mom loves the idea and her approval is the only one that counts) and to bali, moscow and south africa. I am hoping to write something I learned and something I like every day in here- hopefully I keep this up during australia. I have so much to do including figure out what flight I am on... Today, I am not going to do any of that instead I am going to Ann arbor!
