When I decided to re-admit myself back into college after filling out financial aid for the fall semester of 2019, I didn’t know how it would turn out for me. I was nervous and felt a little intimated by my online college courses. 

There a few things that I want for Christmas that money can not buy. I wanted to create this list because we can carelessly overlook the non-materialist things in life for many of us. There has been a lot of talk about obtaining designer bags, shoes, and clothing from celebrities and little to no talk about obtaining happiness outside of those things on social media. 

The end of the year is getting close. You don't have to wait until New Year's day to possibly start creating change in your life. You're also probably looking forward to things to come with grace while winding down, having some time to yourself, enjoying some great food, and possibly movies. Ready to bring on 2021? 

One of the biggest lessons that I have learned this year is to stay true to your purpose in life. I know for a fact that this year I did not let myself down. I spoke my mind. I spoke my truth even if my voice shook, if I felt nervous, and even if I knew I had no other choice.
