Job change

Now that summer is over and school is starting I don’t have a job (full time that is). Looking for a job is going to be hard because my family only has one car and my dad takes it to get to his job on the other side of town. But we usually figure it out it, it just takes us a little while to do so.

The past

I’ve started talking to a friend from high school that I haven’t talked to in like 3 years. It’s weird that’s not a lot of time but everything is so damn different. But it’s nice to talk to them again after so long. We were 14 (I think) when we met now we’re 20 and adults with jobs and stuff.

Hard

This month has brought a lot of stuff into the light that was hidden earlier. None of the info is bad but you do have to sit and think for a minute about what you need to do. Like how I need to start saving money so I can go back to school next year. Or just have a better schedule for myself so that I can have a better life. But it’s a little hard to do that when all I want to do is sleep and read or buy books.

Vegan

As of March the 20th I’ve been vegan for three years (and some months). I think it was one of the best things I could have done, I just wish I had made that choice earlier in my life. Before I went vegan I was barely eating any vegetables now I can’t get enough of them. The one thing I don’t think I will ever be able to get behind is having like a million bananas a day, they just taste weird to me. I went vegan for health reasons but I’m going to stay for ethical reasons and the vegan ice cream (because it’s awesome).

The good

I eat a lot more vegetables than I previously did. I also save some money because I’m not buying fast food anymore (fast food is a regular thing at my house). I have a really bad sweet tooth so when we used to make desserts I would eat a little bit more than I should have and I would always feel bad afterward. Now if I eat more than I should I don’t feel bad at all (but this could just be a me thing, not a vegan thing).

The bad

I will say though it sucks being the only vegan in my family; always asking me if I got enough protein for the day or if I want food from the table (that either has meat or dairy in it) even though I reject their offers every time, it isn’t as frequent as it used to be so I’m glad about that.

And everything else

This is just my three-year summary I guess. Even though I transitioned from a ‘regular’ diet to a vegan diet it wasn’t that hard for me. I never like meat a lot and with my body not agreeing to dairy all of the time I didn’t struggle with taking those items out of my diet (I would rarely eat eggs so that was super easy to take out).
