Life is fabulous right now.
I know what I'm doing with my life.
I had a break-down a few weeks ago because I was so confused about what I should do with the next few years of my life/forever....but at least I have the next few years planned out by now.
For spring term, I'm staying in Provo and living with mostly the same roomies. Kylie is going to move nearby with her friends. I will be doing an internship for LDS Living magazine, and working....somewhere.
For the summer I am going home and Kylie and I are going to do our old Boy Scout job- so excited!
In the fall, I am leaving on my mission.
When I get back, I will have a year left of school.
So that's my life right now, as far as I can factor everything anyway.
I'm turning 21 in 2 days! These are the last 2 days of being young and wild and free, so I better cherish them! Now I have to be an O-fficial adult and be super responsible. I'm so scared for the future and the unknown....yet that makes it all the more exciting!!!
I am learning from my roommate Breanna that I need to be more spontaneous. I'm so used to having everything exactly planned out for my future because I like to know what's coming...I don't like to be in suspense. She just lives day by day and doesn't know what the heck she's doing next year. Example- one day I was helping her plan out her life and all of a sudden she jumped up and said: "We're getting a pet!" So we all jumped in the car, drove to the pet store, and bought a hamster. Spontaneous- yes. Awesome- yes. At the time I was like, "I can't, I have homework!", but if I hadn't have gone, I would have REALLY regretted it. So I think it's good for me to add a little more spontaneity and flavor in my life. Then again, it's also good to be somewhat planned for the future. Maybe if Breanna and I merged ourselves together, we could live the perfect life. Ha ha ha. Really though, I think sometimes I live too much in the future. I'm always worried about what's going to happen to me, and sometimes I don't slow down enough to just enjoy myself day-by-day, and leave some room for surprise! If I live in the moment a little more, each day becomes special, and I won't be looking back on my life saying, "Well that happened fast! What did I even do?" but I'll be able to have great memories- yes, even the spontaneous ones.
