Perhaps Poetry

I love life more than most people can say they do, but I am very nervous and excited to see what my future holds. I always find myself wondering what else is out there, and wanting to constantly be on the move. It will be interesting to see in the future where I end up, and for how long. I've always seen myself as the kind of person who would live and love a travelers kind of life. Living in a new place each year and never settling down too much in one place. I would see it all and do everything, making the most out of each day. I've gotten a taste of what's out there through studying abroad, and can't imagine that I'll stop going till I'm full to capacity with all the culture, language, art, and knowledge that I possibly can get from experiencing other places. The world is a very large place that is often not traveled enough. It needs to be taken advantage of, and I think I am the sort of person to do just that. Going to places not many people have seen before, somehow leaving my mark and trying to make a positive impact on those I encounter along the journey. I'm always thinking, knowing, and wondering what else is out there and what unknown lands are waiting to be explored and discovered.

There's too much ground to cover, 

And I fear not enough time, 

But I fully intend to make the world mine. 

There's so much to see 

And too much to do, 

But time is of the essence for me and for you.

There's age to be consider for we grow tired and weak. 

And ideas and desires may remain vivid,

But our abilities and outlook become somewhat bleak.

But for now I am young, alive, thriving, and strong, 

And I know if I put my mind to it, 

There's nothing that can't be done.

But the world can't wait forever,

And neither can we,

There's adventures to be had, so let's set ourselves free!

Happy Sunday my friends! :) Now go out into the world and make your mark! Make it your goal this week or month to do something out of character. To push yourself to the limit, experience something new, do something that scares the hell out of you!

Reality, Check!

I am more than proud and excited to say that I only have one final remaining! Tomorrow morning at 10am I will be presented with the last college exam of my life!! And as I sit here at our student recreation center (Wrec), laptop open, trying to study for the upcoming final, I suddenly realized that my life as I've known it for the last 4.5 years ends tomorrow. But with that realization comes one that the rest of my life will truly begin tomorrow! Everything I've become used to as my reality will be changed and replaced. It's a scary thought, a strange thought, a confusing and unbelievable thought, but also an incredibly exciting one. But if I'm being completely honest, as I promise to always be with you, the feelings of excitement I used to feel are no where to be found at the current moment. They are replaced by feelings of fear and uncertainty. Fear that my life may not work out in the way I hope it will, and uncertainty because I know the things I want in life are among the biggest of all dreams. However, it is in my nature to believe that I can make anything happen and achieve whatever I set out to, so my optimism will return and I will be overtaken by the knowledge that I've held onto for the last few months: God has an incredibly big plan for my life. I do not yet know what it is, where it will take me, or anything that it might involve, but I do know that it is great and will be worth while. We're going to do very big things together and make a positive impact and change on this wonderful world He's created. 


And now that I've once again used this blog as a self-help/calming sesh, I will return to my studies. One of my roommates has hit the landmark I will reach tomorrow (completion of undergrad studies) and we are celebrating tonight! Which means I need to get all my studying in now so I can really let loose and help her celebrate the beginning of the rest of her life!


Today's quote is one that I use, and will always use, to help me stay on track and keep my ultimate goal in mind (ultimate goal being to make a positive change in the world, help people, and help guide the world towards peace and unity): "Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Gandhi
