Who knew that with every passing year, life would wind up being more and more fun?

I thought adolescent was the peak of childhood bliss and carefree joy. I'm pleasantly surprised to report that each day winds up having new adventures, new joys, and new smiles. It's such a charming, mysterious, and sometimes even whimsical adventure.

I'm committed to challenging myself each day to try something new, broaden my horizons, think outside the box, and push myself beyond what I think I am capable of. I know I sound cliche and cheesy and that drives me up the wall- but in a real way. A way to transform the way I see things and the way I relate to others.

It's not a radical change. This isn't a new year's resolution. This isn't 4 days going to the gym and then a 4 month hiatus, or a new organizing system that is never utilized, or a fitness and health food kick. Nope. This is a slow, gradual, I'm-still-going-to-lounge-on-my-couch-frequently type of change. I'm not trying to move mountains or be revolutionary here. I'm not even intending to "motivate" or "inspire" someone. (Let's be real, we all secretly blog because we imagine others being moved by our lifestyles and choices and that will be impart such great wisdom upon a post one that that the core of a reader is stirred to the point of change and action). No, not one of those posts, just a record for me to write down that I appreciate my life exactly the way it is...it's one of those moments where I couldn't dream up anything that would make it better, nor would I change anything about it.

I can't stop time. I can't stay in college forever (even though I am really good at being in college). So, cheers to living up my fifth and final year.
