As if facebook is not enough of a fad or an addiction, there are also fads on facebook. Not that I look down on facebook; I, myself am an avid user, just stating the facts and the truths about it. Anyway, onto the fads. Remember when bumperstickers and buttons were the hottest thing about facebook? Well now it's Farmville and various other games and status updates every hour and also something else: Project 365. It actually started last year and while a lot of people did it last year, even more are doing this little project this year. I am partaking in this project this year. The idea is to create a facebook album with one picture everyday for one year.
I decided to jump on the bandwagon of Project 365 for a few reasons. I've found that I have plenty of extra time this semester. I moved back home from Florida International University this semester. Long story short, I need to focus on my grades. I'm taking two online classes from the same institution but from my home. I do spend a lot of time on my two classes, but there's only two of them. I'm hoping to get a job soon and begin doing community service but even then, I'll still have a lot of spare time.
I actually look forward to finding a picture of the day. It puts me at ease and takes my mind off of many things. Ever since I've been back at home, I'm constantly obsessing and worrying. I've been ridiculously moody. I'm super anxious. I had this whole life at FIU with amazing friends and I pretty much messed up because I was not succeeding in classes and it was pretty much all of my fault. The thing is, I wasn't one of those typical crazy college girls who went clubbing and partying and drinking all of the time. I just lost my drive and lost focus and didn't try. Which makes things more frustrating. But I'm finding new ways to deal with it and move on and learn and one of the ways is Project 365.
Project 365 gives you a chance to really express yourself and gives you a nice way to look back at your year. It's kind of a motivator because I actually try my hardest to not procrastinate with it and actually put up a new picture each day. My goal is to put up positive, funny and meaningful pictures each day so that I keep having a positive outlook just like I always did. No room in this life to keep being angry.
I went into 2010 absolutely HATING it. I was leaving behind my friends. The best friends I've ever had except for a select few at home. Leaving behind a school I loved so much. The life I pretty much had always wanted. It would have been almost perfect if I had not messed up my grades. Well, not perfect but just a very nice life. But since they are the best friends I've ever had, I know they'll keep in touch and we have been. Project 365 is pretty much turning my mindset about this year around because I have seriously been my old self since I started it because I find something nice about each day. I have to be positive so that I can keep growing and moving forward. Everything always works itself out. Might take awhile but I'm just going to keep these five things in mind: Wisdom,Power,Faith,Hope and Love. Utilize those five tools and you can do ANYTHING your heart desires.
