Spring Break

I just finished my last class of the day. And that means…I AM OFFICIALLY ON SPRING BREAK! That, also, means I am exactly halfway through my second semester of my freshman year of college! WHAT?! I know…I can hardly believe it myself.

My spring break happens to fall on the same week that my sister, Emily, is going to New York for a show in order to buy clothes to sell in her boutique. My mom always goes with her too. So, I am joining them in New York for the first part of my spring break! And then, I’ll be going back to Georgia for the last couple days of break. I am so excited!!

And always, on every break from school, I am also excited to eat food that isn’t from the  cafeteria, sleep in my own bed, shower without shower shoes, and spend time with my family!

I’ll be spending the rest of the day belting out this song….

And packing!

Here are a few pictures of New York that have made me impatient to wait until tomorrow to get there:

I wish each and every one of you a HAPPY WEEKEND!

Love Life

In Tom Shadyac’s class this week, a video was shown that had everyone in the room shedding a tear. Even grown men. (Yes, go grab a tissue now. But, come back. Please, don’t use it as an excuse to go.) As much as I would prefer not to make you cry, this video will open up your heart to make sure that you remember to love your life. And that is a lesson that everyone should learn and be reminded of all the time, including myself.

The video is about a man named Steve Fugate.

“In 1999, Stevie Fugate Jr. took his own life. His death was unexpected and devastating to his family. But rather than give in to despair, Stevie’s father chose to channel his grief into action.

Over the past ten years Steve Fugate Sr. has walked almost 25,000 miles, and did it all with a sign over his head saying, simply, “Love Life.” His mission is to teach his love for life to every person he meets.”

Let’s agree to be in love with our lives. Every minute of them.

It’s the little things in life like…

A surprise bouquet of flowers

The first night’s sleep in a bed of freshly washed sheets

A laugh attack

The singing concerts my suitemates put on while they are in the shower

A warm cup of tea

…that make me smile just a little bit brighter!
