Plans for happy days ahead...

I've missed this blog. I pledge to try and keep it up this coming year :)

I was sitting here in my room listening to some She & Him, pondering about my life. I'm so excited for the next year. India (if you haven't heard since my last post, I am officially going!), I plan on chopping my hair off when I return in August, heading back to Alabama for my senior year, and two of my closest friends are getting married in May after I graduate (not to each other...there's two weddings!). It is definitely going to be a year to remember.

Summer is definitely a good time to look back on my junior year and make some goals for senior year. I was just talking with someone yesterday about stress. There's just no time for it! Each of these days creates memories you will want to look back on eventually. You can't rush them! Take it one day, one moment at a time. There's no use in rushing through it by stressing about exams, jobs, money, or even drama with friends. I think I am going to make an extra effort this year to enjoy every moment and nip anxiety in the bud.

For one, I'm going to make more videos. I need to take more pictures and document more events. I love making videos. What a great way to make adventures last forever.

Secondly, I am going to keep trying new things. Going outside of my comfort zone and making sure I don't get stuck in a rut. Push myself to be the best I can be.

Third, enjoy Spring Hill for what it's worth. Every bit of it. I've never been to a softball game or gone to the tunnels...there's a lot i've done yet there's certainly a lot I haven't.

Quatro, stand up for what I believe in and stay true to myself. Let's put a star next to that one. *

A final goal... Be a helping hand. Be selfless. Be a friend to someone in need. It's definitely a tough one to keep up. I'd say it's almost impossible to do 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We'll have our selfish moments but it's always possible to give a little more of ourselves than before.

Oh. And something else, I want to go skydiving. It's a three year itch I haven't been able to resolve yet. *crossing my fingers*

Well. It's quite the list but I think it can be done. Enjoying each moment (hopefully stress free!). Can't wait until August :) Until then...India!!

Happy days,
Lauren
