Quit worrying about the stupid things. You have 4 years to be irresponsible. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time hanging out with your friends. So stay out late, go out on a Tuesday night when you have a paper due, Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink until sunrise. The work never ends... School does.
gah. well, i've been thinking about my life alot recently. I know. crazy huh? meghan? thinking? who died. i know. i know. but i have. about life. college. where i want to be in 20 years. what i'm doing with my life right now....
i've had alot of time by myself recently....
but i'm relatively sure for the important things i have a plan.
MEGHAN'S PLAN OF ATTACK:
June 6: Start beauty school... Gulp. i'm not old enough to be going to college! i'm only 16! :(
All summer: full time beauty school student. yikes...
In the fall: go to Maeser, 4 classes a day. and then go to beauty school part time until i get 2000 hours.
2012: graduate... :'(
Summer after graduation: work. save money. maybe take a few generals at UVU, if i get a scholarship...
Fall 2012: Start at UVU or Utah State or SUU, i'm hoping utah state or suu, and get all my generals, because in-state tuition is ALOT cheaper than out-of-state tuition.
After I get all my generals: Duke, Stanford, or Yale, hopefully Duke.
Major: Clinical Psychology, PreMed.
Minor: Criminal Profiling :]
Graduate from Duke (hopefully) with high honors :]
Go to Harvard Med School.
Graduate.
Start my own clinics all over the country, so i can travel. :]
Get hired by the FBI.
And after that? I have no idea.
Hopefully i'll fall madly and deeply in love with someone along the way. someone who won't mind i get grumpy when i'm stressed. or who won't mind that i don't want to be the typical stay-at-home mom. or who won't mind that i can't cook to save my life. someone who will love me for all those things would be nice...
and maybe somewhere along the way, i'll figure out that i'm not supposed to be a psychiatrist. and that'll be okay.
so, as you can see, my life is basically all planned. when am i allowed to be spontaneous and happy?
well, let me tell you.
all those nights that i spent just driving around with Chandler and just talking.
all those random adventures i went on with Kate.
just randomly going shopping with ky and kems.
having some down time at home
and decided to, instead of doing my ever
mounting stack of homework,
watch 4 hours of criminal minds.
going to support my mom at her pack meeting
when i had 2 position papers due for MUN, the next day.
and i hadn't even started them.
you just gotta be happy. gotta love life. love the good. love the bad. love the memories. and love the mistakes.
life is too short to regret anything. love the life you are living. life is way funner, yes, i just said that, that way. :]
Also, i just found this article. (thanks Cody Foster! :]) i think you should read it.
http://m.yahoo.com/w/ynews/article/mostpopular/4?url=http%3A%2F%2Fxml.news.yahoo.com%2Fus%2Fnews%2Frss%2Frichstoryrss.html%3Fu%3D%2Fap%2F20110415%2Fap_on_re_us%2Fus_obit_world_s_oldest_man&.ts=1302865392&.

But, in case you don't want to, i'd like to share with you my favorite part.
"Here's the world's oldest man's secret to a long life:
Embrace change, even when the change slaps you in the face. ("Every change is good")
Eat two meals a day ("That's all you need.")
Work as long as you can
("That money's going to come in handy.")
Help others ("The more you do for others,
the better shape you're in")
Then there's the hardest part.
It's a lesson Breuning said he
learned from his grandfather:
Accept death.
"We're going to die.
Some people are scared of dying.
Never be afraid to die.
Because you were born to die."
I'm pretty sure that guy is my new hero. anyways... that was a really long post. but i love you all. that's the truth. and... yes. :]
I love you.
Alot.
Thank you for reading.
you're amazing.
and beautiful.
inside and out.
that is all. :]
