Who I Am and Why I'm Here

Hi there! My name is Laura Hucke, and I'm a 23-year-old recent college graduate. I'm on a quest to figure out what the heck to do with myself now that I am no longer a student anymore and the job market is bleak. Along the way, I've been trying to give my life a complete makeover.

I was working a job as a secretary for an auto repair shop, which wasn't my cup of tea, but, as of November 2011, I decided to take some time away from working my dead-end job to focus on getting my life in order. I was 45 pounds overweight, vastly unhappy, and very low on confidence, so I decided to start making some changes. Some were drastic and some were minimal, but, despite the sizes of the changes, the results were good. Some of them took getting used to, but, at the end of the day, I am very happy with where I seem to be going as a result.

Since I took this time to work on myself, I've lost about 20 pounds (and am continuing to lose weight), I've adopted healthier habits, I've become more open-minded, and I've separated myself from the people in my life who were negative and abusive.

My goal in creating this blog is to help inspire others to take control of their lives and make positive changes starting now. They say there is no time like the present, after all, so I'm here to help you get your life back on track one blog post at a time. I'm, by no means, any kind of expert, but I know what's worked for me, and maybe those things will work for you as well.
