So being a female I really enjoy quotes. For my last quote I included a calvin and hobbes quote about time going by too fast. Well this time I wanted to share with you a similar one by Kurt Vonnegut. "Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were big things." I chose this one to start off my post today because I didn't want to use a cheesy one I know you've all heard before. I like this quote because I personally believe that not enough people appreciate their current situation. Sure maybe right now you don't have your ideal life but that's the fun of it. The journey. I really encourage all of you to take time out of your day today and appreciate where you are in life. The only thing I can really relate to this quote is freshman year. I remember freshman year of college as one quick blur. Those nine months went by so fast and if I could go back I would do it all the same. Have my heartbroken by a boy that wasn't worthy, stay up all night playing mario kart with my friends, I wouldn't trade any of those memories for the world.
Last year I decided to make a video of all the stupid things my friends did second semester on C3 (Cornerstone 3rd floor.) It's nothing great and not professionally made so please don't judge. It's mainly for the memories not the quality. I thought I would share with y'all but before I posted it I decided to double check there wasn't anything inappropriate on it. And seeing it even to this day brings tears to my eyes. I could not have asked for a better freshman year. I hope that everyone gets to experience that much happiness and friendship in their lifetime. I really think all of these people in this video have made me who I am today.
One more quote I want to share with you is a Tom Petty quote. I saw this one fitting since we're all in school right now, even worse summer school. "You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink 'til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does..."
When you think about it all those little things like partying all night all added up to be one great thing. And I know that these next two years of college are going to fly by, but in the end I'll be happy with my memories. We all learn from own mistakes and if I have to be the first one to admit it I will, I make a lot of mistakes. But that's the fun of it. I hope you all can appreciate the little things in life that will someday end up being the big things. Go outside and play in the sunshine and remember you only get one shot so why not live the life you love?
