12 Days of Catmas: DAY 1 - Where Have I Been???

Aloha Friends!  HAPPY DAY ONE OF THE 12 DAYS OF CATMAS!!!  Literally long time no see!!!  I'm so so sooooo excited because I wasn't going to do the 12 Days of Catmas this year, but I finally had a free minute to write!!!!  So sorry for going MIA after saying that I was going to write more often, but in today's post, I'm going to be sharing what's been going on in my life, and where I've been!

Before we get into my update, for those of you who are new (HI!!!) and/or who don't know what the 12 Days of Catmas is, I will be posting every day for the next 12 days, until Christmas, and then I go back to the regular scheduled program starting in the new year (that's every Wednesday and Friday and 10:30AM PST for those who are REALLY new)!  Last year's 12 Days of Catmas included lots of Christmas related posts, but this year's is just going to be random posts every day about anything, though I will try to write a few Christmas related ones, but no promises!!

Okay... now onto the update!

Where have I been?  Well, I've honestly been no where.  No lie, every day I go back and forth between school, my house, and work, on repeat until I die.  This semester has been a lot more draining and busy than I had expected.  My classes weren't really that hard, but there was A LOT of work.  Pile actual work on top of schoolwork, and I'm surprised I'm still alive at the end of the semester.  I haven't seen most of my friends since school started.  I'm not even kidding.  I have a friend I used to see multiple times a week, and it's been two months and I haven't seen them at all lol.  Other than school, I've been working NONSTOP.  If I'm not at school, I'm a work.  I'm literally exhausted.

This semester however, has taught me a lot.  First and foremost, it's taught me how to balance school, work, and my social life (which basically doesn't exist because I'm always at school and work lol).  I haven't found that perfect balance yet, but I'm still working on it.  This semester has also taught me to love my major.  Up until now, I'd never taken any of my marketing courses, so I wasn't really feeling it anymore after I started really liking accounting, but after taking a marketing course this past semester, it really made me feel like I chose the right area to study and that I chose the right path for myself.

The craziest thing about this semester is me realizing how close I am to finishing school.  I'm two semesters away from graduating and GOD I CANNOT WAIT TO BE DONE.  This winter break is going to be my last EVER.  How freaky is that???  I still remember being so scared to start middle school and high school, and now I've almost finished college.  That's freakin nuts.

I've also successfully lived on my own for the past few months and thank god for it because if I had to share a tiny room with someone again I'd kms.  But living on my own is a lot different than living in a dorm room.  I don't have 24/7 access to a cafeteria where I have basically unlimited swipes, I have to grocery shop on my own, which I'm still not great at because grocery shopping is actually really hard.  I have to cook my own meals, which at first, was exciting because I love to cook, but now that I have to do it in order to survive, it's such a chore, and I find myself ordering delivery a lot.  But don't follow my example kids, I'm terrible at adulting.

And that was my life update!  I know it wasn't exciting or anything, but you can tell for sure now that I definitely don't have an exciting life lol.  As always, thanks so much for reading!!!  See you tomorrow!!!

With Love,
Caitlyn <3
