I have been sitting here for about 15 minutes trying to come up with a clever and witty way to start off a new chapter in my life, aka this blog, and the best I could come up with was; life is pretty weird and no matter what the crap you do, it will change, and that's exactly what has happened in the past 6 months of my life. Mind you nothing horrible or ground breaking, just somethings that I have discovered about myself and life as I know it. I've learned that in the mornings when get up to go to school, you don't ever have cold pizza for breakfast; when you sign up for classes, you do it with in the time realm of at least an hour after your used to getting up, always have a pen, pad, gum, lip gloss and some sort of granola bar in your bag through out the day, don't schedule your days back to back where you do one thing one hour and then another totally separate thing the next hour on the opposite end of the county, get to know a friend who's house is extremely close to your premises while in school, where you can crash every once in a while, yes A-rump I LOVE your couch and fluffy blankets! One thing that has completely saved me this last year was 65 amazing people, who all know who they are. Having that many people whom you can call up at any given moment and go bawl your guts out too, or know you will laugh so hard your guts will split by just hanging out with them, is a blessing. Something that the Lord has shown me is not only how independent I can be but how much I can and want to rely on my friends. These people are a beacon and an inspiration. I want to be the kind of friend they are to each other. We have shared secrets and stories and heart aches and successes and trials...but you know what the best part about all of this is? You know, that no matter what else happens in our futures, where we go or whom we marry, we will be able to say that all of us made a difference in at least one person's life. And if you don't know who that person was, assume that It was me, because it's true. I have had an incredible year so far. Many things have not turned out how I planned or wanted, but I know it's what God wants. He is reaching out his hand to steady me and make sure that I don't trip and fall off of stuff (well in the spiritual sense that is).And if there's one thing that I actually have learned from my college experience thus far; it's that I can do it! With the help of my savior and the love of my family and the people I care about, I can so do it!
