My life in a nutshell

I thought my first blog post would be easy to write, yet I am having the hardest time coming up with things to tell about myself.  My mind is a blender ideas but immediately as my fingers touch the keys I can't remember a thing.  I am, however, really excited to start a blog!  I feel that writing in a journal is not my style, but that writing my emotions and feelings down in a blog will be just as good.
I love my life.  Of course, I have those days where nothing seems to be going right and I feel like the world is crumbling around me, but I've learned to stay positive in everything I do and somehow, someway, everything turns out alright.  I'm 19 years old and have six people in my family and am the oldest of 4 kids. When I was little I criticized my parents as using me as the guinee pig of the four children but now I can honestly say that I love being the oldest. I absolutely love my family. I play the violin and I LOVE the piano! I've been playing it since I was 5 and it's something I hold close to my heart.  Not only do I love music, but on the flip-side, I love sports (my new NFL app on my i-touch is my favorite.)! I can play most sports but I'm excellent at basketball. If anyone wants to play just let me know! ;)  I'm also not a picky person and I'm up for all new kinds of adventures!  I love to ski, water-ski, hike, hang with friends, and do random, fun, spur-of-the-moment things with my peeps.
My future is still a blur.  I know that I want to be a stay at home mom and tend the kids but I am far from that!  I am only in college and still haven't declared my major yet. I used to have Nursing as my major but I've recently changed that because I faint when I see blood. :S Now I am looking into being a Child Life Specialist.  Eventually I'd like to get married and have a few kids of my own.  I have a plan that I'd like this to happen in 4 years but you never know how and when it will happen until it does. Some say the future scares them, but I'm excited! Bring it on :)

  4. Sydney, I am the oldest also, and I totally told my parents the same thing--"its like I'm an experiment!". haha But we turned out alright, so we're good. :] What made you switch from nursing to being a child life specialist (besides the blood factor haha)? It sounds very interesting. :]
