After spending this Saturday with my little sister at the mall, I realized I was pretty damn excited about no longer working at Kohl's. I remember leaving from that horrible dungeon of hell with high hopes that I will never settle for a part-time job or even a full-time job that barely pays anything and crushes any aspiring goals and dreams you might have. If you're not trying to get into retail, THIS is the definition of a dead-end job. I figured with all the time I have not having my soul pushed into a tiny tube called the cycle of consumption would allow me to find my way back into the person I want to be.
At the mall, we picked me up a White Chocolate Raspberry Latte, shopped a little and had dinner at Panera Bread. All I have been doing this week is studying for exams and in a sense it made me feel empty - I want to be the person who makes things happen for herself and breaks out of this daily routine life. The last two photos in this collage show me catching up on blog reading after a hectic week and dreaming about Berlin, Germany - the city I want to study abroad in.

I had stopped by hell to use some Kohl's cash I had and didn't want to go to waste (by the way, if you shop at Kohl's and your Kohl's cash expires, you can still redeem it a few months after it expires if you ask. I've even seen people redeem Kohl's cash from 6 months prior. Literally, a customer had $90 in Kohl's cash from May of 2014 and redeemed it November 2014. You can get away with anything if you ask). One of my ex-coworkers had asked "Don't you miss it here?" as she rang up my purchase and to which I without hesitation replied "NO! NOT AT ALL!"
I came home to checking through e-mails and browsing blogs to come to the realization that it's time. It's time to finally push the envelope I've been trying so hard to push for so long.
So I'm wrote this post at 3 AM, right after Daylight Savings changed the time from 1:59 AM to 3 AM because I'm excited for these 10 reasons:
1. The Days are Longer! Just thinking about how awesome it would be to have the sun out while I'm commuting home from college is overwhelming!
2. The Winter is ALMOST over. Hasn't this winter just been horrible?
3. Spring is coming! This means trips to the park, light jackets (bringing out my favorite leather jacket again - that makes me happy), and allergies! (Wait, allergies aren't something to be excited about...who cares? It's spring!)
4. More Iced Coffee.
5. Ballerina flats instead of boots.
6. Soon I won't have to use the excuse "Its too cold/dark too go out."
7. More time to do things I want and be that person I want to be. April 3rd is going to be my official launch date for my web design business, Little Eternities. This is the date I chose and I'm sticking to it!
8. Here's something you might be excited for, more giveaways for all my loyal readers and newbie followers too! Because hey, why not?

9. 85 percent less of a chance of waking up on any given day and feeling sluggish. Soon, the sun will almost be up before 6 AM, I'll be thrilled to get up every morning!
10. Daylight Savings has been one of the factors today that led me to pull out my iPad and just start to write.
