don't stop, never give up.

i wish we had another chance. we could have been really good.

i don't think i realized that i liked soccer until it was over...

i hate children.

ok, so maybe not all children. but i hate trying to teach someone who doesnt want to learn. i almost strangled three kids at work today because they refused to even attempt to do their work. but the worst part is this is not an affliction only on children. there are so many people that spend the least amount of effort to just appear like they actually care. and i know, i do this every once and awhile too. but, really, all the time? come on and grow up.

taking it one day at a time.

so i've been home from new york for almost a week and i'm still on a high from how amazing it was. i have never really been on a trip without my family (unless you count sixth grade camp haha) and it was just so much fun. running through the streets of new york in the snow, pulling clothes off of mannequins, and everything else. and it was just a taste of what college might be. speaking of college... even though it may not work out as i had planned, i'm now confident that it will be great no matter what. i'm going to make it good if i have to.
it's really strange but i'm actually having an amazing time with everything right now. i even enjoy school (gasp!). i just figure there isn't that much left and complaining isn't going to make graduation come any faster so i might as well enjoy it. i had a period of completely paralyzing fear about life in general but i think its finally passed. now im just trying to soak in every single moment.

nicotine patch.

you cannot wean yourself off of anything without a replacement. otherwise you will just go running back whenever times get hard.

i'm going to stop giving advice.

because no matter how right it is, people are going to do what they want anyway. everyone just has to learn things for themselves.
