My life will go on- With or Without you.

This week has been a very exciting week for me. I found out I got a 25 on my ACT's, which is better than I was expecting! I automatically get a merit scholarship, which will help a little! Also, when I got back to town from Warroad for easter, there was a big envelope on my desk from University of Minnesota, Crookston. I was so scared to open it, but I did, and I got accepted!! I Am so very happy that I got in and I am ready to start the next chapter of my life. I got the forms for housing on campus, and I am so very excited to live on campus and not have to worry about working all the damn time and paying bills. I will have absolutely zero bills to pay, therefore more time to focus on school and get the very best grades I can. I am so excited to embark on this journey to finally getting a degree!! Also, I have successfully been vegan for two weeks now, and I am so proud! I have no desire to even eat any animal product any more. And since Ive started, I lost ten pounds! I didnt go vegan to lose weight; Im doing it for my love of animals, but its just a super awesome bonus!! Im so glad Im living life for myself and not for others anymore. Whats meant to be will happen, I just need to make sure Im living my life the way I want to and not worry so much about others opinions. PS only like a couple weeks of school left!! Nice knowin ya, Northland!!

Animals are not ours to expirement on.

So for a research paper in one of my classes, Im doing it on animal testing. I recently went to the library and checked out some books, and did some online research as well. I have been a member of Peta since I was fourteen. I used to get flyers in the mail and hand them out to my friends. I have been a vegetarian on and off pretty much my entire life. Honestly, this is all something I am very passionate about and I think I was put on this earth to help animals somehow. I have spent the past three hours on the Peta website, doing things and researching how I can help. I am going Vegan this time, and for good. It is unbelievable what people do to animals, just for food and unnecessary testing. Dont we have enough makeup and hairspray products out there? Why must we be a population so obsessed with money that they constantly are making new products, and testing them on animals, blinding and killing them. It is sick and disgusting and I am just so sad that the poor helpless animals go through it. This is me declaring that I am officially and forever Vegan. I will not buy products that have been tested on, and I will not consume anything that a poor animal has suffered and died from. It is hard, especially being a poor college student, but it is totally worth it to me! And in the summer, I am going to volunteer at the humane society on my days off. I must do something. I just want to make a difference.
