I Hate To Be Negative But November Is By Far The Worst Month For College Students

It's the truth.  It's the worst month of the entire year if you're a college student.  It's when the semester starts to wrap up with papers and projects coming out the wazoo!  It's also when college students start cramming in last minute extra credit and start studying for finals (or at least start thinking and stressing about finals).  Then if you're me, or crazy like me, you start a new job, volunteering, and new weekly medical treatments during this last month of the semester.  Because you know that November is supposed to be the craziest/hardest month of the semester, so you should probably try to make it crazier/harder in any way possible.  Because you're just smart like that. Not to mention that Novemember is when it starts to get super dark and cold and wintry.  Which means walking in the cold, windy, and snowy wetness of winter.  And if you're anything like me, all you can think about is how you probably won't see the sun again until April.  If you're lucky.

That's why I am so glad that Thanksgiving is in November.  Because if it wasn't, I would just continue on with all of my crazy negativity and stressing.  It gives me a chance to look at life and be like "Yes it's crappy, but it could be worse.  It could be raining." (I had to throw a Young Frankenstein quote in.  Just for fun).  It gives me a chance to look for the silver lining in the clouds of November that life really is good, and even all of my challenges have good things about them.  And it gives you an excuse to take a break for a couple of days and stuff your face with food and chill with family.

Yay for Thanksgiving!  I can't wait!

Wrapping Up Another Semester

Fall 2010 Semester is almost over.  And I'm more than a little excited for it to be done.  Don't get me wrong I've enjoy many things from this semester.  I have especially enjoyed beginning a nunnery, amazing roommates, quotes, Thanksgiving dinner, and the two breaks from school we've had this semester.  But some things have been hard too,like flat tires, clogged drains, holes in the ceiling, and especially drama and tons, and tons, and tons of homework.  I'm definetely ready for a fresh start. 

I'm one semester closer to going up to the University of Utah.  I'm very excited and nervous.  I'll miss SUU and all of my friends here and all the good times I've had, but I'm ready for a new adventure. 

I have learned a lot this semester.  The most important lesson I've learned is that even when I don't understand how, everything ends up working out one way or another, even if its in a way I wasn't expecting.  And sometimes the hardest things bring me closest to Heavenly Father.  How can I complain?
