It really is short.

I've been having fearful thoughts lately. Not because of any recent mishaps, but concerns about my future; the thought of missing out on the joys life offers. I know they're out there, and I want to pursue them more than ever. I'm glad I now realize how fast time truly passes by, than to have it pass by, then, realize I had messed up by not doing my best to get the most out of life. Regrets (hopefully ones that aren't too detrimental) will be there, they come with the package. Not attempting to try new things is my biggest concern. In a way, I do feel I have wasted time and could have done a lot more up to this point in my life, but I'm only a young college student, so I've still got plenty of time. Hopefully. Living life to the fullest is not nearly as easy as the people who say it make it sound. Me meeting the right people, to have great opportunities and experience new things, to living another week aren't guaranteed. Boy, does that suck. A lot of us try to do things conservatively before deciding to do the things we want to do, and, tragically, probably won't even make it to that point. Priorities come first, and like many others, I have them. School happens to be the biggest of them all. That being said, I still try to make the most of each day as much as I possibly can.

It looks like we're going to get another great film from Leo.

I think it will be better than Shutter Island, which was a great movie.

Untouchables.

I finished reading this last month. Somewhat short, but great book.

Remaining optimistic about my summer.

Still on the job hunt. Boy, do I despise filling out online applications. I've filled out two in the last few weeks; no callbacks yet. I'm not trying to be picky with where I would like to work, like I once was, because I really want to work this summer. I have got too much activities planned for the summer to not have a job. It's almost guaranteed to be a great summer if I land a job. If I happen to remain unemployed, I'll do my best to make the most of my time off before school. I'll be reading a lot more, and I'll try to start working out.

Is she not one of the most beautiful women you've ever seen?



Don't mind the rapping from Jim Jones. Overall, a more suitable song should have been selected for the video.

Along with wiser spending.

I'll be making wiser decisions overall. One of the main things that must come to an end for me is my tendency to procrastinate. Just like my foolish spending habits, me not facing any consequences led to me continuing this practice. But unlike my reason for bringing my foolish spending to an end, I had actually faced a repercussion for my lazy actions.

Waiting to work on something that should have been started on the day it had been assigned to me has officially come to an end. When it came to school work, I still managed to pull good grades. I believed (and still do believe) that me working under pressure brought the best out of me, but there's no doubt in my mind that I can attain the same or an even higher level of success by putting more time into my work.

Wiser spending.

I will not be spending my money stupidly anymore. I mean, I don't even have the urge to buy more than half the things I had been purchasing when I actually was spending my money irresponsibly. When I took time to think about the amount of money that I had spent in the last year or two, I was truly regretful. I'm not even using most of the items I had purchased. I won't be denying myself enjoyment, but I'm aware of things that I can do without and I am finally putting an end to the stupid spending. Not facing any repercussions for my stupid spending was my biggest problem. I would waste money and still be able to buy anything else that I needed or wanted. I'm glad I feel this way about my spending now than later.

She & Him.


Goodness, I cannot stop playing this. Beautiful album. To my surprise and satisfaction, their new album is scheduled to release in March. Sweet.
