The Truth About Tomi

It has been a long time since I’ve written. But the funny part is, now, I have way more to say. The last time you heard from me I was a brand new sophomore in college still trying to find myself at the large school I attend, Texas A&M University. Instead of boring you with an update of the past year and a half, here’s 10 things going on in my life right now:
  1. About to turn 21! Buy me a drink!
  2. Senior at Texas A&M (graduating in December, a semester early)
  3. Received an awesome summer internship opportunity working for an internet advertising company, so I am living/working in Austin all summer
  4. Our family is expanding! My sister Cori (thehouseofhiggins.blogspot.com) gave birth to my niece Embry in October and my sister Ruthie (ruthiehart.com) is due with her first child in August!
  5. …………. STILL single… with ZERO prospects
  6. Constantly struggling with trying to make working out and eating healthy apart of my lifestyle. I have a serious chips and queso addiction.
  7. I served as Vice President of my sorority last year and had the pleasure of living in the sorority house (mansion) with 50 of my closest girlfriends.
  8. 2013 brought many fun trips to my life, starting with Colorado, Panama City Beach, and Mexico!
  9. My obsession with reality shows is alive and well
  10. My family and friends still are the most important thing in my life.
When it came to this blog, I wanted to change things up a little bit. Like I said, I am not a scared little college girl anymore. In just a couple of months, I will be a graduate, a member of society, an “adult”, a grown up, or anything else you want to call it. Along with my many triumphs, I have stumbled, struggled, and faced all sorts of challenges. I didn’t become the positive chick I am today overnight. That is why I am here.

To tell you the truth
 
I have always been outspoken and sometimes blunt, some may call me mouthy. I don’t mean disrespect and I don’t mean to be judgmental. But I like to say out loud what I know what everyone else is thinking. So this is my chance to tell you the truth about Tomi A.K.A. me.
 
I am an honest young woman who is growing up and trying to make the transition into the “real world” and I plan to document every step of the way. From my embarrassments to my accomplishments, I want to be open about all of experiences to hopefully entertain and maybe learn something from anyone reading this.

So buckle up and get ready for this crazy ride!
