In Conclusion...

Here is the first picture I ever put on one of my blogs,
I'm nine months pregnant and still skinnier now 

In two days I will be 36 weeks or nine months pregnant and in two days I will be officially done with my second year of college. This semester has honestly been the scariest semester of my entire life. I went into this semester with a lot of people disappointed with me and my decisions and a lot of people doubting I would make it to this final week. Not only do I have to do well for my future but there's going to be a little girl in a month (hopefully less) that I have to be successful for as well. It's been a long semester and I am excited to spend my summer break with my daughter and get my life started.

One thing I was so concerned with when I was entering college was like falling in love and settling down for the rest of my life and 2 years later I'm still awkward and not really sure how relationships and love works and I haven't made much progress. For sure one thing I've learned in college is college  boys usually sit next to the girls with less clothes and not the girl who whispers all of the answers under her breathe and refuses to raise her hand. So I am very sorry to everyone that after two years this is the only "relationship" advice I can give you: Don't read my previous sentence and think that in order to get a boys attention you'll need to wear less clothes because college boys aren't that worth it anyway. They all smell weird anyway.

And this is just my great grandma and I (Delilah's
GREAT GREAT grandma), this picture is
here just because I'm obsessed with her.

Secondly I've learned to never take shit from people. As a young adult in our society I, like my peers, get looked down a lot simply because of my age and supposed "inexperience". One solid example is the way people react to me being 19 and pregnant, they immediately think I'm irresponsible and basically an idiot. I have to politely defend myself constantly because yes I made one questionable decision but I am also a 19 year old who lives in a 2 bedroom condo by herself who pays her own bills and supports herself and has a financially stable life set for her daughter while also going to school on time and making a name for herself. And I have to conclude with "what were YOU doing when you were 19?". Many people underestimate the power we as young adults have and all that we  can do and I want anyone who ever reads this to know that they can do anything and amount to anything they set their mind to. And thats super cliche but it's honestly the truth because if anyone would have told me two years ago the kind of person I would end being today I would have laughed. 

I just thought this was funny, my last

Those aren't the only things I have learned in the last two years but it's two things I would always keep in mind. SBCC has provided with so much life experience and has helped me grow so much as a student and as a human being. I wouldn't change anything about the last two years of my life here and I cannot wait to come back in the fall as an official mom and work on taking my education to the next (university) level. SBCC has provided me with the best opportunities through blogging, tutors, and wonderful professors.
