Inspiring sentence.

Isn't it a grand thought that what we do matters, what we think matters, who we become matters, but that we are doing better than we think?

I SURVIVED COLLEGE FOR A YEAR

Oh, look. I've survived it for a year. Time to shout from the rooftops, I SURVIVED COLLEGE FOR A YEAR!!! And I have to say, what a feeling. I started college classes officially as a junior and did pretty well, now I'm a senior and I survived this semester too. No major mental breakdowns, just a ton of senioritis. If it's even a word. And I had a dream this morning. I was on a mountain hiking or climbing or something. What a wonderful adventure it was. I keep having dreams like that, on grand adventures in random places, just on snowy mountains, and I have to say, whether it is a prediction of the future or not, I can't wait to go on those adventures, because what I'm realizing is that I love snow more than summer. I love the snow more than the summer, because the snow is unpredictable. You never know when it will snow, or get windy, or even when you'll be able to go on an adventure. Isn't it funny that I thought I hated winter, when I truly love it. It seems that some of my largest fears turn into my biggest loves? I never thought I would learn to love winter so much, but this winter has changed me and I love it so much! I used to nearly hate winter because it meant being cooped up inside. But, what I realize now is that it is a peaceful feeling. It seems a calmer time of year. It is also a time when I can ski, sled, and make snowmen with my friends. What better way to spend the day than that? And as a child, it seems half of my memories are in the snow, my dad pulling me around the neighborhood in a sled, happy as can be. But, most importantly what I am realizing is that happiness is found in the smallest of moments, where it seems no one would notice, but it means that much more because I noticed it. Just simple times, where it would seem boring and uneventful to another, but to you, it means the world.

And, to you it is the world! It is so easy to learn so much. Observing other people, their actions, their kind attitude, their response to situations others would freak out during. Observing their ability to be like a duck and have things easily roll off of their back. To be able to do what they must. Pursue their dreams. Grit their teeth, work hard, and pursue all that they possibly can. To have balance, to work hard, and to be themselves. Confident, Classy, Kind, and Caring!
