Fear of Rejection?

I have never been rejected.

True statement. Never been rejected from/by a college, job, boy, internship or  scholarship. Why?

Because I don’t go for do things  unless I am 100% sure I will get them.

As I am getting older my perfect record is soon coming to an end. It’s not rejection that I fear- its more why should I bother doing something that may not get?

I don’t take chances in life.

I don’t set goals that I won’t reach like- lose ten pounds in X amount of months.

I set goals that I DO- last summer when I set out to lose 19 pounds I made sure I met that goal.

I am sure my steadfastness will come in handy in the future. But I want to take risks NOW, I want to take the chance that I might not get in. Otherwise I fear that I may never try anything.

But who knows I may never lose my perfect record! ( Wishful thinking. I know.)

Anyways, more on my risk-taking life later.

This weekend was a two-for-one-deal with my family- Thanksgiving and       Eid (Muslim holiday)

It was so much fun to spend time with family and friends

For Thanksgiving Eve I had two of my friends over and my mom made an Indian and American inspired feast !

• Stuffing
• Greek pasta salad with feta
• Turkeyyy
• Rice with Chickpeas
• Cranberry Sauce
• Mashed potatoes

 

Then it was on to Eid

With all that was going on I forgot that I was still and school and I have to gear up for finals week. Which is why I am currently at Borders getting working done with their new free Wi-Fi!

I am so blessed and thankful to be living a fabulous and healthy life.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend with their family and loved ones

Thanksgiving is not the only time to be thankful

I am a worrywart.

Thankfully I have amazing and supportive friends that assure me that I will be ok

Even with an injury, diet not working, stress of school and the future. I have many things to be thankful for. The health and happiness of myself and my family. We live, laugh, love and learn together

Education- being in school is something that my mom did not get a chance to finish for financial reasons. Many other families can’t afford to send their kids to college. My love/hate relationship will continue for the time being but in the end I will get out so much more.

Friends- I have an interesting group of friends, some I don’t even talk to for months. Others I talk and text to every single day. These are the people I see on a day to day basis and study with. It is so nice to have a group of people to share mylife with, it is impossible to feel alone.

Food-I love food!!!! It provides me with energy and the proper nutrition that allows me to function. Also a good excuse to bring friends and family together, It is so important to have a POSITIVE relationship with food. Much harder than boys LOL.

Life- This semester brings me the hardest classes I have yet to take, a new internship, running an organization and teaching I love everything I do and I am blessed to be able to do so!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, 3 months early, now bring on the turkey !!!!!
