How? How did this happen? Am I really almost 30 already? It seriously feels like two years ago that I was in college thinking about what I was gonna be when I was a grown up. Now I am a grown up and I still don't know what the heck I want to be... but I'm OK with that, because I'm starting to realize that you don't ever finish becoming something. You're always a work in progress.
So, in honor of my increasing age and increasing number of gray hairs I have decided to take a look back at my life on the "8s" -- Just like the Weather Channel, because that is also something an old person would do.
 When I was 8 |  When I was 18 |  When I was 28 |
| I lived in Cranberry, Twp, PA | I lived in Cranberry, Twp, PA | I lived in New York City |
| I ran circles around my teachers | I ran the high school yearbook | I ran my own Web site |
| I wanted to be a barber or a fireman | I wanted to be a newscaster | I wanted to be successful and happy |
| I loved to eat pizza | I loved to eat pizza | I loved to eat pizza |
| I watched Power Rangers videos | I worked in a video store | I made Web video series |
| I rode around in my mom's minivan | I rode around in my '94 Chevy Cavalier | I rode around in taxis and subway cars |
| I always had my stuffed animal Bambi | I always had hair ties around my wrist | I always had my iPhone in reach |
| I played Super Nintendo | I played Playstation | I played Wii and Xbox |
| My biggest success was writing in cursive | My biggest success was getting into college | My biggest success was realizing I am fully self-sufficient |
I am a Libra at heart, and I truly believe that life is all about balance. I love looking back at the past, but I am even more excited to look towards the future and what's coming down the line.
