Lots to catch up on.
In Summary: I have an extremely blessed life and its freaking incredible.
To begin, by the end of this semester I feel like I finally found my groove. I not only am confident in who I am but I've collected a group of amazing friends along the way. Who knew that a failed fake kidnapping would lead to such a bond with our bros. Freshman year I would have never guessed that I would eventually be spending my nights at cent house. These guys are sassy and crazy and they make my life so much more entertaining. I would have sincerely regretted missing out on a chance to know them. While it sucks I only have one more year with them, I know next year will be stellar. I cannot wait to see what antics will go down.
Speaking of mischievousness, who knew once you start you just can't stop! (: But I'll have to learn to control myself since I will be in charge. Another awesome thing, being elected into such a large role is awe-inspiring. The fact that my girls trust me enough to give me such an honor blows my mind. My life is truly in God's hands not my own. I would have never predicted this for myself but I that is what happens I suppose when you give it all up to Him and trust that He knows best. He will help me through this presidency and even though I know it won't be a cake walk, I will love everything it will teach me about myself and others.
I've discovered my love for knowing people on deeper level. After watching and being apart of the Psi class' journey and then spending time to know them individually, I realized how everyone has a story and I love to hear them. Also, I have been able to develop a close friendship with a girl I hardly knew a month ago. She is teaching me so much about myself while I am able to know her better. I am so grateful that God puts people like this in your life. It makes you think that life can still be like kindergarten. You can just meet someone and instantly be bffs, no questions asked.
I love how summer is always such a special period in life. Everything gets a bit calmer while at the same time there is this spark, which can either blow up in your face or produce an awesome fireworks show. Last year, I faced this and I clearly ended up with a bit of both. This year I hope I have become wiser. Admittedly, it is hard to only listen to logic when your emotions/feelings are craving something else. While I have been trying to live my life a bit less cautiously it is hard to keep from just living a reckless life. As one of my favorite quotes says:
"Be wise enough not to be reckless, but brave enough to take great risks"
Striving to live this is much harder than I imagined. Sometimes I still feel like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. I want to experience life to the fullest while still maintaining my values. It's a tricky path, often I end up in a cloud of confusion, but I thrive on those perplexing moments. They make life worth living.
