Childish Dream Fulfilled

Ran in the rain during a thunderstorm! Is it dangerous? Of course. That's why my parents didn't let me do it. That's why I did it in college. I wanted to do this my whole life! Playing in rain is just too good of an offer to pass up. So when I heard the rain come down. I got some friends together and we ran around and found some tiny puddles. They were fun! Then the rain died down. When I wanted to go out again the security guard, who is just a little older than me, told me to run outside because it was pouring again. It was fun and all,  but when I went out the third or fourth time, there were sheets of rain. The security guard to ld me to go and run! It was coming down hard! I didn't want to go alone, so I got more people to come with me. It was fantastic!! The puddles were huge. The gutters were making waterfalls to play in. All was great. Lightning made beautiful streaks across the sky and eight college students running around like chickens with our heads cut off and jumping into puddles. How did I get so lucky??

That Moment When...

That moment when you realize you have more homework than you thought. That moment when you understand that life gets busy. That moment when you realize your roommate might have forgotten every single thing she ever knew, by the look on her face. That moment when she remembers who you are. Then, that moment when you can still say this is the best time of your life and you wouldn't trade it for anything.

This is how my first month of college went. Man, it awesomely sucked. I went on my first five hospital visits within the first two weeks. That was interesting. Now I have so many close relationships from it. I have a few sisters and a brother. It's fantastic!

Then I stated thinking about my family. I'm close enough that I get to see my family a lot and still be living my college life. I'm dependently independent and I'm loving it! I get to go home and just relax. Then I come back to school and I'm welcomed with the same love as my family. God sent me here for a reason and I can't than Him more right now.

Yes, things keep happening and life is crapping on my good experience, but I just clean it off and move on. I have a lot of people to help clean off the crap. Plus, God is amazing at making things so clean that they shine. I only hope that I can take what I learn here and share half of it with the world.

Life is happening. And it is good with bad situations that make things better!
