thinking about life

lately.
i've been thinking about all the things that i want to do in my life.


because when you really sit back and think about it,
there's SO MUCH to be experienced,
and less than 100 years to experience it all!


so then we have to pick just a few of those things.
which is why i've been wondering what i want to pick...
what i want to experience.


especially in these next few years.


i tell one of my friends all the time that THIS is the time to be selfish.
that might sound bad, but it's true.
once you have a family, you have to learn to be selfless basically all the time.
so for these next few years before that happens, i'm going to be selfish.


i'm going to read as many books as i can get my hands on.
i'm going to finally learn how to play the piano.
i'm going to admire art.
i'm going to learn as much as i can fit in my brain.
i'm going to scrapbook and sew and create things from scratch.
i'm going to become a better cook.
i'm going to make new friends.
i'm going to change my mind. (several times...)
i'm going to fall in love again. (maybe several times... :) ha)
i'm going to travel.
hopefully i'll live in mexico for a few months.
hopefully i'll go on a study abroad.


i'm going to be a little better every day.
i'm going to be happy.
because life is beautiful :)


i'm going to enjoy whatever the next few years have in store for me...
because no matter what that is, it will be good :)


love your life...
i know i love mine :)


peace&&love

temper. mental. temperamental.

so.
i tried blogging like 2 weeks ago.
tried to include pics from my trip to hawaii.

but alas, it did not work.
blogs are too temperamental.
the key words being "temper" and "mental"...
therefore i am not posting that blog because it is basically lame without the pics.

but in other news!!

it's a new semester! :D
and i'm loving all of my classes
i'm even loving all my homework, although it never seems to end...
it is my goal for the semester to actually LEARN.
not just store, regurgitate, and then lose forever.
haha :)
so it's quite fun to actually learn :)

also.
i'm applying for a study abroad in New York!!!
ahh it sounds amazing!!
english classes, side trips to boston, palmyra, and DC...
let alone staying in manhattan!!
but.
i have to apply.
and make it.
which is possibly a long shot.
but.
i'm wishinghopingthinkingpraying :)

haha so i had a friend tell me my blog was inspirational.
i don't really get that, since i've only had maybe 2 inspirational blogs...
but hey.
why not include a little inspiration in every blog?
so here's today's inspiration!

"things which matter most must never be at the mercy

of things which matter least."

always remember what the most important things in life are.
always remember what you want to get out of life,
and then live your life so as to obtain those goals.
never let the little things get in the way...
because those things aren't important :)

peace&&love
