Live Life With Loved Ones

Eliminiate the distractions and spend time with those who matter.

Live Life With Loved Ones
thedailydigi.com

This week, I was scrolling through Twitter and one of my fellow bloggers had a post up about her mother that she had recently lost. The overall theme in her post was that time is short and memories with your loved ones are the most important things.

This post is going to be about how we need to let go of our material things and focus on the things in life that truly matter. This is a short life and everyone is guaranteed death. With our time here on earth we need to allow the distraction of material things to diminish.

If I could sell all my belongings just to have more time with those I have lost, I would. We need to focus on making memories with the people we care about instead of worrying about getting the deal, or buying the next best thing. If we took time to build relationships with people and learned to slow down and enjoy our time together, we wouldn't have a life full of regrets.

I personally like to live life without regrets, but I do regret being distracted by material things when I could be spending time with my family and friends.

Tonight I had the realization that I'm half way through college. The thought of graduating freaks me out, but the scariest thing I think about life after college is, not being around my friends that I have made. We are all going to go our separate ways. So right now while I am in school I want to spend as much time with people as possible.

I personally enjoy sleep, but if someone wants to talk, or go to Whataburger at midnight, I will say yes to them because I know that my time here with these people is a fleeting moment.

God could take me tomorrow and if He does I want to know that I have great memories and have built amazing relationships with those I love.

My challenge to you is, don't get so consumed or distracted by the things of this world and go out and explore the world around you with those who matter most.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
