I am a college girl. I worked hard to apply and get in to colleges and I work hard in my classes. I deal with drama with friends and boys, and sometimes I might cause it without meaning to. I've had crushes on people, I've liked people and I've loved people. I have also had my heart broken and done the heart breaking. I've traveled to foreign countries and met all kinds of people. I've been kissed and done the kissing. I've known loss. I've had dreams and chased them but I've also failed. The point to this very long list of seemingly pointless statements is to prove that I have lived. In almost every way possible I have known the ups and downs of life. However, during all these adventures I was never alone. I was always surrounded by friends and family, but know I've started a new life all alone and sometimes there are tough times to go through and tough days to deal with. The thing that always helps me get through anything life throws at me, good or bad, are quotes. Quotes that inspire me to not quit on my dreams and to live the fullest life.

Enjoy the present, each moment, as it comes because you'll never get another quite like it. And if you should ever look up and find yourself lost, simply take a breath and start over.
