Learning

Life is hard folks! We've all got our own trials and struggles. College is definitely mine right now. Boy is it hard! But, I can do it. Somehow, I will find a way to do great. I am so incredibly blessed with so many people who are here to help me along the way. And I hope I am a help to all of them as well.
My fiance is the sweetest man to have ever existed. No joke. The things he does for me on a daily basis are literally astounding. The more serious we get, the better he treats me. I love him. When I am upset and feeling like my to do list is just too overwhelming, he is there to comfort me and help me think clearly about everything. When I don't feel well, he takes care of me and is willing to do anything for me. When I am a complete grouch, he puts up with me until I am happy again. He loves me so much, and has so much faith in me. With him by my side, I will be able to accomplish anything in this life. I hope to be the strength to him, that he is to me. He continually is helping me be a better person. When we disagree, and I just want to get angry, he has a way of calming me down and makes me talk it out. I know that neither one of us is perfect, and that our relationship isn't perfect. But, we both try. Ultimately, I think that is what it comes down to. You've got to love each other so much that nothing else matters. You've got to support one another, and do anything for them. I don't pretend to know everything, especially about relationships and marriage. But, I want to write this down now. So that later I can look back and remember how great this stage in our life together is. Being engaged is hard, yet great. I wouldn't trade this time for anything.
I also have the best roommates ever. I have had fantastic roommates in the best. I've definitely always lucked out. But right now, we all get along. All 4 of us. Which is a rarity, when it comes to 4 girls living together. We have a good time every time we are all together. It makes life so much fun. We all just help each other out whenever it's needed, and just talk all the time. I love it. This being my last semester living with roommates (besides my husband, when we get married), I think I definitely was blessed to enjoy it.
Friends, oh boy. I have the best of these too. And too many to mention. So many supportive people in life. Holy cow.
Family has always been and always will be a rock in my life. They are seriously the best people in life. I love them. So lucky to have them for forever.
Laughter really is the best medicine for stress. Stressed? Find something to laugh at. It truly works wonders :)

Service

It's amazing how doing a tiny bit of service can change your entire attitude. It's dead week (the week before finals week) around here, and I definitely didn't want to go to FHE tonight. Especially since they announced that we were to be going to an elderly care facility to put on a musical program, and then help them decorate some cookies. My first reaction was, seriously? I have better things to do, like study. But I go every single week, and I shouldn't not go one time just because I don't like the activity. So I went. It was easily the best decision I could've made. It was one of those heart-warming experiences that just leaves a great spirit.
There were some of the cutest people, and they were just happy to be alive. So kind and filled with love. Most of them couldn't really do much but sit there, but they were still happy. It kind of put things into perspective for me. I am so stressed out about finals coming up and doing everything just right. I just need to take advantage of my opportunity to be learning all that I am, and do my best. Stressing about it, is really going to solve nothing. I just need to get it done, and I need to be happy while doing it. There's no time like the present. I won't be young forever, so I might as well take every opportunity I can now to do everything that I want. And I might as well be happy doing it, otherwise, what would be the point?

I've taken a step back more lately and tried to serve people as much as I can, even in the simplest of ways. And each time, when I do something for someone else, I feel a small portion of the love that Heavenly Father has for each of his children. He put us all here together, so that we can learn to love each other through serving one another.
Let's make the most of this Christmas spirit, but also make this a year long thing. Serve someone everyday. It doesn't have to be a huge. Even the small things are noticed and needed.

Inspiration

I am a quotes lover. Quotes are my life, my inspiration, and my motivation. They have a way of knowing exactly how I feel about so many different things, without me having to put it into words. Without further ado, my inspiration for the remainder of school: Be prepared for the overload!!

I got most of these from this awesome site!
