College Completed, Now Time For Business

First day of College (Year 11) - 2024

The last term of college has been tiring and stressful. I had assessments during school hours, business work outside of school hours, and chores and markets on the weekends.

It eventually reached the point where I could barely focus on anything. Because of all that, the second book's progress slowed down.

Now that I’ve finished my last week of college, I can finally focus on my business again. It felt strange leaving the school for the last time. It was a familiar place, and now it won’t be part of my life anymore.

As sad as it felt walking away, I’m grateful for the time I spent there and for pushing through so many stressors and barriers. With more free time in my life, the best thing I can do now is get back to creating.

I don’t have a full schedule yet, but I do have a basic plan. Weekdays will be for creating, like writing and illustrating the books, and weekends will stay similar with chores. Markets might eventually expand beyond weekends, but that’s something we haven’t explored too much yet.

Look at me now 2 years on!

I may miss college, but where my life can grow now feels much bigger than before.

I’m excited for my graduation party, and even more excited to begin my life the way I want to.

Progress on Kindness Over Rudeness will speed up again, with plans to finish before Christmas.

Stay Calm and Bean, everyone. Value yourself, your creativity, and everyone who has helped you find who you are.
