Cindy Lou Who

So I was pretty close to never posting on this again. I just feel like my blog sucks, and my profile views prove it. lol But I still feel like this is going to help me vent on all of my problems, even if I am the only one who cares about it.

It is weird. I spend all semester looking forward to getting football and school over with, and now I am overwhelmed with my freetime. I mean the only responsibility I have right now is work. I just feel like everything that I look forward to somehow ends up in a major dissapointment for me. The next thing I am looking forward to is probably Christmas, and then my birthday. I hope these can live up to the hype.

One last thing. I don't know why but I just can't get into Christmas this year. I am so unmotivated I can't even get the energy to decorate. And those of you who are my friends know I look forward to this every year. I feel like Cindy Lou from the Grinch. Maybe when all of my friends get back in town it will feel more like the holidays.

As the semester closes...

So my first semester in college is rapidly coming to an end, and I am swamped with work that I have been procrastinating on since about mid terms. It is very stressful. Last night I was talking to a friend and we were talking about how so much has changed in such little time. At the beginning of the semester I hated Lindenwood, and I am somewhat enjoying it now. I have truly found out that you have to put something into it to get something out of it, and I can't beleive it took me till college to realize that. Actually come to think about it, that is how it almost always is: work, football, school, friends, and especially my faith. So I am now going to try to set aside some times to put some time and effort into all of those categories. If my hypothesis is correct I will get more out of all my activities.

9 more days until Christmas Break. I am beyond ready for those 6 weeks of no school and football to be here.

One among many

I hope everyones thanksgiving was awesome, because I know I had a pretty decent one. Over break I was hanging out with my friends and we started talking about how many people we see in just one day that we will never see again in our lives. I was relatively quiet and just took most of their opinions in and I have since formed an opinion. You know we don't know. Take a walk down main street St. Charles and just look around at the people that you will never see again. Who knows though, you might actually see them again sometime. It just really put in perspective for me just how small I am in Just the world, let alone the whole universe.

This brings up another question. How are we supposed to help serve the world if we are merely a little speck? I came to this: Just be a good person and do whatever you can to help the people you encouter everday. Let the person merge in front of you on the highway. Hold that door for the stranger at the gas station. I can't put it any better than this: (this might be kind of cliche) treat your neighbor how you would like to be treated. And one more thing. I don't know where this whole you got to do something to get something attitude came from but lets squash it. I am daring you to be that nice person that you encounter on the streets.

Let's help make our surroundings a better place,
