Make your life count today

There's no time for tomorrow
Testimonies of hope

Life is full of surprises. You never know what is lurking around the next corner. The world today has shown us that tomorrow is not promised. I used to be a person that would “wait until tomorrow” but now I know that if I want to help myself make a difference in this world, if I want to leave my “mark” on the world I live in, then it must be done today.

I have always believed in living life with no regrets and living each day to the fullest. However, this must be done right. I do not believe in “getting the good while it’s worth getting”. Living life to the fullest isn’t partying as much as you can, or sleeping with as many people as you can just for the sake of it. Living life to the fullest means to never go a day without making a difference. Never cease to make someone happy because they make you happy.

One of my favorite things to do is make at least one person smile every day. I do theatre because I love it, because being on or around the stage is what makes me feel alive. Living with no regrets means that I will never pass up the opportunity to be a part of doing what I love. To me living with no regrets means I will not live the rest of my life in a career that I am not thrilled to go to every single morning. I’m going to be remembered for doing what I love and being really dang good at it. The mark I leave on this world may not be monumental. There will probably be no buildings named after me, or statues built in my honor, but that’s okay. I used to think that I needed to be famous to really be remembered but that isn’t the kind of infamy I crave for.

The way I love my husband and he loves me, I want to be remembered for that love. The friendship I give to those closest to me, I want to be remembered for the smiles I gave them every day of our friendship. I thank God for the opportunities that he gives me every single day to make my difference in the world.

Now, this does not mean we shouldn’t go out and enjoy the things that life has to offer. Go out with friends, make memories that will last a life time. Those memories don’t have to end with you puking your guts out in the toilet after a night of a little to much drinking. We are not promised a certain amount of time. There are those who never get to experience any partsof life. There are also some that had their life taken away from them before they had a chance to really live. When I leave this world I want to know that I have lived every single day of my life fully. The world has given us constant reminders that we need to cherish every minute we have. With that said, why would you waste one more minute of this precious life that we have? Go out and be remembered for being great, for being you, because that’s the most important person you can be.

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.
