Hello all,
I want to apologize for my absence from the blogging world but things have been a little crazy. This past week proved to be one of the most event filled and busiest weeks of my life here at Bluffton. With lab reports due, tests, quizzes and meetings galore it seemed as if I was going from 8 in the morning until I would get to bed around to. Looking back on the last week with all the craziness I realized that sometimes its best to take a break. And what a break I took. After my classes ended on Friday I took the weekend to recover from the busy week. Saturday turned into my new day of rest. While I could have been working on papers and homework for the next week I thought it would be a better idea to catch up on sleep.
Other then catching up on rest from the past week, it has also been a crazy week for events happening on campus. This past week was Spiritual Life Week on campus. From concerts to cookie carry-ins to a battle of the air bands the week proved to be eventful and full of fellowship with other students. While I was not able to attend all of the events for the week, the ones I did attend proved to be very enjoyable.
Through everything that has happened I have realized how important it is to take time out for myself. With everything that is going on its good to just find twenty minutes if that is all I can spare to just sit and rest and not worry about anything. While things seem to get more and more crazy I will remember to just take a break to recharge my batteries so I am ready for whatever might be thrown my way!

Crazy Times
Hello all you bloggers out there!
I know it has been awhile since my last post, but let me explain why. Life has been getting from busy, to busier, to busiest. From a break from school that was not near long enough, to an awesome homecoming week of attending events and helping out when I could, to now a week of testing and other fun stuff. This year has been a bit more busy and fast then my first year was here at Bluffton. Last year I was always able to take time out of my day and spend it napping or finding some way to relax. This year I am lucky if I have 30 minutes to myself. Don't get me wrong I love everything I do, it has just taken me this long to realize that I can not do all these things on my own. In this time of great stress and all these different activities going on, I have really turned to the word for comfort. Helping know that everything is going to be all right and that no matter what happens there is someone in the end who will still love just as I am.
On another note, I feel like I am getting old very fast. One of my good friends recently got engaged. While she is a senior it has still not fully hit me as to how time seems to pass here at school. I use to think that I would be here forever, but now I have started to realize that time here is short so I should enjoy everything while I can. Even though some classes may not be enjoyable, or even easy I am still going to take it because this is the only time I will be given this opportunity.
Something I do have control over is my attitude to take life one day at a time. Everyday is a gift and I intend to unwrap it and be pumped about the shinny new day that I am given. Life may not always make sense, but its the little things like friends, family and the adventure of tomorrow that make it bearable.
New song that everyone should listen to is Fireflies by Owl City. I think you'll like it! :)
