November was not only the return of the exes, but also the return of all the problems that come with them. Exes can send you on one hell of a roller coaster ride if you let them. Unfortunately I let them. One had good intentions, the other had bad intentions. Lesson learned from this, you'll never find what you are looking for if you continue to look in the same place. Exes are in the past for a reason. I know that has been said a million times before and is so cliché, but it is so true. So next time an ex comes around the bend, AGAIN, remember to keep your guard up. They probably just want something or want to use you for something/someone. So it is probably best to ignore them and any baggage that they bring with.
November was also the month where I learned who I can trust....but mostly who I cannot trust. I am someone who will tell almost anyone anything. That is not a good thing! I trust too easily and in November I ended up getting the short end of the stick for doing so. Lesson learned from this, there is never a point in life where you can trust everyone that is your "friend," because you never know when they aren't going to be your "friend" anymore. I honestly feel like a high schooler again for even writing that, but it is the harsh truth. Good friendships are hard to come by. When you get an honest to goodness great friend, hold on to them TIGHT!
November was also the month of registration for spring semester. Everyones favorite time of year....not!!! "May the odds of registration ever be in your favor" I had not. Although I think I have my spring semester classes all figured out now, there was a time (last week to be exact) where I thought I was not going to be able to go to school next semester. With 2 classes at my home campus and 1 class at our sister school, plus two classes this summer, I should still be able to graduate on time. Thank goodness for academic counseling and my advisor! No thanks to the Communication and Journalism department for not offering enough sections of classes. I hope that this was my one registration session from hell and that next years registration will go smoothly! Lesson learned? Always have a plan A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H for classes you would like to take. Maybe even a plan I as well...?
Although the month of November was not a fun one, I am still thankful for the challenges that life has handed to me. The challenges November so politely handed to be has given me the chance to learn from my mistakes. I believe that the obstacles that I have overcome this past month have also made me a better person (again, cliché I know!).
Life goes on. It's not a bad life, it's only a bad day....or in this case a bad month.
So cheers to the end of November and the start of December. And cheers to the opportunity to kick off 2014 in Hawaii with a bunch of awesome COJO people!
