First blog, yay?

So I have never had a public blog, mostly it will be a small day-to-day of my life. Yes I am a college dropout. I don't know what I want to do with my life, but I thought putting down my thoughts might be useful in the future.
I went to a tiny high school in Vermont, barely graduated and went on to a single year at the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio. I was an equestrian major (horseback riding), and just to let you know, this degree is bullshit. You learn everything you would learn taking lessons and hanging around a well -run barn, except you pay $28,000 a year.
After my disastrous year of college, I worked at my families nursery for the summer. During that summer I dumped my boyfriend of 3 years, who had moved to Ohio for me, tragic I know, for my best friend. (That makes me bi for future reference) Then while still with her I moved to Maryland to be working student at an amazing eventing farm. I would have loved it, if my heart had not been in Vermont. So although I came up with other reasons to justify my leaving, it was truly because I was desperately lonely. I found a similar job at what seemed like a decent dressage farm, only to have my boss lose her mind 2 weeks later.
Not a week after this the girl I had moved back to Vermont for dumped me. Karma can really bite you in the ass can't it? So now I was left with no money, a truck and trailer, two horses I was responsible to keep fed and very un-understanding parents. Which is how I ended up here, working at McDonalds to pay for my horses grain. I don't know where I want to go, or how to get there. For now, I will just have to be content.
