Living a Dream

The week after college graduation from a prestigious private university was my time to live the dream. Having a week before my job started, my friends and I drank all day every day and basically gave college one last hurrah. No school, no responsibilities, NO PROBLEMS!! (see more)

As a student in high school you feel your life long ( feels like a lifetime ) dream to finally graduate from high school seems close to impossible. Well I did it and I swear the dream was blissful and so unrealistic. So there was me living a dream :p (see more)

Last summer I went skydiving for the first time with 3 of my cousins. On the drive down one of them jokingly said "if we land 3 out of 4 of us safe, that's not bad". Spoiler alert: I was number 4.

When it was my turn to jump I was ready. I let out a "WOOHOO!" and flew out with my instructor on my back. What followed was the most exhilarating minute of my life. Then he pulled the rip cord. My harness wasn't properly adjusted so instead of cradling me it pulled my legs back and the chest strap came up around my neck. After a brief, unsuccessful period of trying to breathe I passed out. I woke up as we were coming in for our landing to my instructor kicking and screaming at me. I couldn't get my legs up for the landing so we got drug across the ground head first. Got a nice scar on my knee and my thumb was numb for 3 days. I'd love to go skydiving again so I could enjoy the full experience, but I don't really trust those parachutes now. (see more)

I was living my dream from September 9, 2010 to January 28 2010. That was the time when I was living wiht my host family in Michigan, going to a High School had having awesome times with my friends. It was really cool and even though I love all my friends in Germany I still miss my other ones... and I got to see New York City for three days! :D (see more)
