It's hard to believe that life can be as busy as it is.... Looking back on it, I would have never thought that I could have made it in far in life as I have in this short of time. I'm 20 years old and have found out more about myself in these past two years than I did in the first 18 years of my life. Living on my own and having to act like an adult has changed who I am.
Some things that I've learned in college:
1)Things are easier when you don't look at a week's schedule, look at what you need to accomplish that day and you won't feel so overwhelmed.
2)Your siblings really can be your best friends, distance makes you realize how much they mean to you.
3) Find a few good friends and hold onto them for life; it's better to have a few good friends you can confide in rather than having many acquaintances that you cannot trust.
4)Guys are great friends, they can help you with advice about other guys.
5)It's okay to not always be happy, struggling with your emotions helps you figure out who you are and where you stand.
6)It's okay to have fun, just don't let it get in the way of the more important things.
7)Sometimes all you need is a playlist of sappy love songs and a mug of hot cocoa to mend a bleeding heart.
8)It's okay to call friends at 4 a.m. crying your eyes out, they won't be mad that you woke them up, they'll just ask what's wrong.
9) Find something simple and fun as a destressor, coloring is nice :)
10)Keep yourself busy, you'll stay more on top of your work that way.
God will never say no to any request you make, His typical three answers are yes, not right now, or I have something better in mind for you. Live by God's MASH board, don't try to make your own.
Starting orientation for my job this week has been a life saver, but at the same time I'm busier than ever...sometime's life is just easier that way.

New to this
So I'm pretty new to this whole idea of blogging, but I figured it's a way that I could vent if I wanted to, and also a way for people to keep up with my life as well. It's hard to believe that this is already my third year of college that I am only a few months away from being 21, but at the same time it is a rewarding thought.
This is already the third week of classes here in Mankato, MN and time seems to keep slipping by even faster. I'm awaiting a call back from a job that I had an interview for at Living Links here in Kato, I'm really excited and hope that I get it.
Just a thought, but it's definitely a little ironic how much we end up missing our families when they aren't around, and how much more we miss our siblings when they move even further away than before. My oldest sister is living back at home and working for Dad, so I get to see her the most frequently because I tend to go home at least once a month because there is some event or another that requires my attendance. My other sister just moved to Madison, WI about 3 weeks ago for Grad School. I am not liking the fact that she is 5 hours and 293 miles away from me right now because I really didn't get to see her all that much this summer because of all the traveling she did. However I am extremely excited for next weekend when she comes home for yet another wedding. That leaves my brother, he is also about 5 hours away up in Bemidji, MN. We don't see much of him unless there is something to come home for, like the said wedding, it will be nice to be all reunited again, even if it's briefly.
I am extremely excited because I found my favorite children's cartoon online last night and watched an episode of it.....RUGRATS!!!! yes you can find RUGRATS on hulu :) It is the best discovery since sliced bread. I am actually about to watch another episode... So until next time, laughter is the best medicine; laugh daily.
