The College Diaries: Amber's *Kinda* Back!

Hey all! Long time no talk! A few months ago I decided to take a hiatus from blogging. I didn't announce it or tell anyone but Jessica and Emily, I was very silentl and just melted away from the blogosvere for a little while. Truth be told, I was struggling severely with my mental health to the point that getting out of bed was a fight for me. I finally got a proper diagnosis to my mental health issues after 12 years of this battle: Bipolar II. Knowing the diagnosis and the treatment for it I have been doing a lot better and slowly easing myself back into the things I love again. But this isn't a post to feel sorry about myself, this is a post to show what I been up to! 

What I've been up to: 

As I shared on twitter I was sadly laid off by Lush in August, but a few days later I got an interview at Bath and Body Works and I am now a sales associate there! I've loved every moment of it so far, even if I've spent to much money there! 

I went back to college in the summer! In the fall I decided that I wanted to be a psych major and help people my age with mental illnesses. I'd dropped out in 2018 so I have some catching up to do, but it isn't a race and I will get there eventually! Currently I am a part time student but in the spring semester I get to go back as a full time student and I am thrilled! 

I adopted a puppy! Introducing Blue, the Catahuola Leopard Dog that is chilling on Long Island. He is a cattle/hog herding dog who originates from Louisiana but my family rescued him from New Jersey! Look at those eyes! He's a mush but his past requires a lot of patience and love, which he gets tons of! 

I've been up to so much more but these are the three most important ones. I am so happy to be back and getting back into the swing of things! Happy Holidays all and I hope you all been well! 💗 

What have you been up to the past couple of months!? Anything important I should know? Let's chat in the comments!
