Life is Good

"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when you discover that someone else believes in you and is willing to trust you with a friendship" -Ralph Waldo Emerson

This quote inspires me so much because it emphasizes how important friends are and a friendship in general. Without my friends (and God of course) I do not know how I would have gotten through some of the situations I've been in. Each one of my friends is different and that's what's so amazing. If I had friends that were all the same, I would not have gotten such a variety of advice and done so many different things throughout the years.

I've had so many people drift in and out of my life and people that have been constant and there almost from the start. I think this is what has kept me happy all my life. I've been so blessed and my friends are a major part of that blessing. My life would not be as enjoyable without them. I would not have done so many crazy things or been brave enough to try new things.

I've definitely had my ups and downs with every single person I've been friends with. But if you've never fought with your best friend then something is wrong. If you've never had a disagreement then you aren't opening yourself up fully to them and showing them your flaws. I've almost felt like the more I disagree with someone the more they come to know about me because I have to open myself up to them in order to resolve the problem.

Well these were just a few happy thoughts before physics. Hope everyone is having a splendid day :)

Another quote about friendship I enjoy,
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...it has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival" - CS Lewis

Love,Honor,Truth


Phi Mu<3

Big/Lil sister reveal was tonight!! I found out my big, Brooke :))) I was so excited.
I honestly love being in a sorority, it is so much better than what I expected. It's not just about the cute tshirts or the parties but the close knit bond you form with your sisters. It's so awesome. I love seeing someone from Phi Mu and just being able to wave at them in the street even if I have no idea who they are.
I've met so many girls in it that are so similar to me too, especially Brooke. We share so many similar interests, it's crazy.

I wish I could figure out the deal with boys though and what is going through a certain one's head.

I got to go home this weekend and see my little brother's prom!! He looked so handsome in his tux. I also got to see Tori and Andrew in their 20's prom attire. They looked adorable. I can't wait till I get to share my college experience with that girl, I miss her a lot. She's truly like my twin, I can connect and talk to her on so many different levels.

Well I am off to bed now, it's kinda late. Night all.
