HAPPY LIFE: oh well

life has beeeeen so unreal and crazy the past month. i was a bridesmaid in a wedding, had my 21st birthday, sent my bestfriend /brother on a mission, got an internship, started school, participated in formal recruitment XO, and started to teach 70+ girls songfest. the next few weeks will be even more cray. with mb's wedding next week, songfest the week after, and con flying to mada. all of that right when school is at its craziest, kumon needs me to survive, and i have ASUU emailing me every 20 seconds. GAH. oh well these times make for the BEST memories. <3

as a new twenty one year old, i look back on my life and i can definitely say i have a lot of 'oh well' moments.... moments like...going on a horribly awkward blind date, kissing someone for one night only, or a friendship cut short. many of these experiences can be looked at as a waste of time, but i see them as opportunities to learn. each of these 'oh well' moments has taught me more and more of what i really want in life. those nursing pre reqs i took as a freshman taught me that i don't want to be a nurse. and there is nothing wrong with that. with finding out that i don't like something.

i think in life we often look at others and how their lives seem to be so in order, and feel ours is falling apart. nothing seems to be working. your twenty hour a week job sucks, your not sure about what your going to be in life, and that last date was just soo not right. something must be wrong with you.

we need to see it in a way that we are soo lucky to have found this out about ourselves at 18 or 21 instead of at 35 or 42. aren't we glad we went on the awkward blind date to realize that we hate movie first dates (never again). or that one night make out sesh? had fun didn't you? so what if it didn't go anywhere! or the friendship that lasted only a month? amazing memories that will last. the two semesters i spent working on my nursing pre reqs but then switched my major, now i know what i want to do for a career instead of what i think i want. the way i see it life happens the way it is suppose to. each time a door closes a new one opens and maybe that is where you are meant to stay but if not, take what you learn from that door and go to another one.

anyways what i am trying to say is that i am so grateful i have a life full of 'oh well' moments, instead of a life full of 'what if's'.
