With four minutes left, a huge backpack, and a freezing day, I ran.

Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

Hey sweeties!
I came across this quote today and it gave me great encouragement!

I'm not sure about you all, but sometimes I have trouble living in the past and the future. Somehow, my present has been skipped over with regrets and memories of the past and the fear and hope of what is to come.

I often forget that life is beautiful, and I am wasting precious time grieving over a past that is gone and a future that has not even come yet.

I have so money hopes and dreams and sometimes I only focus on what is to come in the future, I fear that I may be missing something so beautiful in the present moment.

I think that from now on, I am going to do one thing each day that makes each day memorable.

Whether that be by apologizing to someone and rekindlind a friendship, speaking some of my mind, or just doing something completly crazy.

I promise to do something everyday that will make each day worth remembering.

I guess I should start today and tell you all what crazy thing I did.

I go to a huge campus and only have 15 minutes inbetween each class. One of my teachers does not allow you into the classroom if you are one second late.

Today I accidentally gave myself 8 minutes to make it completly across campus and get there on time.

I started walking fast, but it just wasn't cutting it. So with four minutes left, a backpack stuffed to the rim with books, and a freezing cold day. . . I ran.

I ran like a crazy person across the entire campus and laughed my head off the whole time I did it.

I'm sure I looked insane and people thought I was crazy, but that didn't matter to me. And you know what? Two other people ran with me. It was hilarious. And it was fun and exciting. And better yet, I made it to class on time. :)

This is my moment of the day and there is only more oppurtunities to be had.

Do any of you have special memories about today?

If not , get off your computer and go make one! :)

Love you all!

Pictures of you, Pictures of me

Hey guys!

I know a lot of people on blog spot are in to photography and I really enjoy pictures too.

I think it's a great way to save memories and I enjoy looking back at old photos so I can remember things I amy have forgotten.

Here's a random thought I was thinking about today concerning photographs.

Have you ever looked at a photo and seen strangers in the background?

Have you ever thought about how many photos of other people's that you could be in?

I was just thinking, what if I am in some random photo frame, in some stranger's house, in some crazy state??

it's a litle bizarre to think about!

So I have this picture of me and some friends at the beach and there are some people in the background, I bet they never thought there bathing suit bods would be on my wall bahahahaha!!!

Look at your photos, you might find someone you have never noticed before, and probably will never see again.

If anyone looks they should comment, it might be funny! :)
