End of Fall MSU 04'
I cannot believe how incredibly fast this year is going by! I have learned SO much this year and I am afraid that sometimes I have only let my family and friends know the things that I have struggled with and not been as positive as I know myself to be. I have learned that you do not, let me repeat, do not know yourself until you are on your own and can make your own decisions.You cannot change people, they are going to think what they want, they have their own convictions. I instead choose to pray for other people, yes it's true, but I'm not like Dear God save this sinners from the fiery flames of Hell lol, no I just want people to possibly have the same happiness that I know I have experienced in great amounts this year despite the bad days. I don't agree with like 90% of what people believe here because I am one of the rare hardcore Catholics out there and I am PROUD of it. THis doesn't mean that you have to agree with everyone but it does give you the obligation to be respectful but stand up for yourself..something that is hard ( shyness) but necessary at times. OK here is another one, I am not truly happy unless I know I am doing God's will and following His plan for me...that's a biggie. If that means ( tear) that I am not going to have a boyfriend this year or be able to study abroad in Mexico this year then I have to deal with it and move on...but the MAIN thing is that I am not alone and i don't have to deal with it alone :) ! I believe that unless you love someone despite all of their downfalls then you cannot be a true friend. Yeah the easy road is to sit back and be like oh look at them they are messing their lives up so bad and never look at yourself then you are just as bad.
" Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you (Matthew 7:12). "
lol it would be a joke to think that I have gained every bit of knowledge that I need to be a happy and successful person, but I do think that as long as I stay grounded and remain true to myself then I will be fine here and I am so oo thankful for ALL of my friends and the opportunity that I have been given to go to MSU and hopefully over the next few years I will only become a more stronger, confident, and loyal and know that there is only 1 me so I better take my best foot forward and make an impact on the world and not be one of the many that sit back and let lifes many "temptations" take control of their life.
well now that I have made the longest lj entry ever... lol I just want to say that I had so much fun last night and I can't wait to come home and SLEEP :)
