I've recently found out some really interesting things about life.
1) If you're in college, it absolutely consumes 99.99999% of your daily life, so use your 0.000001% wisely. If you think college is important, it is. If you think college sucks, it does. If you think you'll be done within the next four years, you're lying to yourself and it will most likely take so much longer so I suggest you start now.
2) Honesty IS THE BEST POLICY. Let's be honest, we all have said a little white lie here and a little white lie there. It happens, it's human nature. See, doesn't it feel great to be HONEST with yourself and admit you have done it? But what I don't completely understand is why people feel the need to lie about the big stuff. Don't those people know that not only is that lie affecting them by shaping their character, but the lie is affecting those around them? Their lies ruin relationships, trust, and how others look at them and sometimes themselves. So lying is stupid and dumb. Don't do it.
3) Food is absolutely essential to life. We all look up to those people who eat healthier than we ever could possibly imagine. Seriously, I have serious respect for those kinds of people. Like, no where in their diet is there chocolate anything, Dr. Pepper anything, Salt and Vinegar chips ANYTHING. Seriously, you people are champs for sticking with it. But me, I am NOT one of those people. Recently my family bought this huge tub of chocolate moose cake from Costco. Why? I don't know. But let me tell you, that stuff was good. And did I have a spoon full everyday? Of course I did. Did I maybe have more than one spoon full everyday? Probably.... But was I the happiest girl alive for a whole week? You better believe it. So my philosophy is, maybe don't stuff yourself with junk food every minute of every day, but hey, eat what you want! Sure you may not be as skinny as you want to be, but at least you'll be chubby and happy am I right?
4) My religion will always be the most important thing in my life, and if that bothers you, sorry. YES I AM A MORMON! Am I proud of it? HECK YES! Us "Mormons" may have a bad rep now and again, but who doesn't? Sure, I may get some crap for it and made fun of for my religion for the rest of my life, but let me tell you, this gospel has made me who I am today. And not for one second will I second guess it or stop living it. I won't judge how you live your life, so don't judge how I live mine. If anything, being in the religion that I am has taught me to be understanding to everyone else and how they believe, and by darn I am going to try my hardest to do just that! I am far from perfect and I make mistakes daily, but I know that I can always be forgiven. As long as I am trying, I am doing pretty good.
5) Surrounding yourself with good and uplifting people is probably one of the only ways to get through this life. Does this one really need an explanation? Recent things have happened that made me realize I have NO TIME for people who are here to put me down, make up lies about me and make my life any less than it is and should be. And boy have I crossed a couple of those in my life. It's a good thing I have A TON of other people who are just the opposite. So here are some pictures of just SOME of the people who are the kindest, funniest and most uplifting people I have ever met. THESE PEOPLE ARE MY HUMANS.
