Entry 10

I have officially decided on what university I will be attending…

The University of Utah!

Okay so literally that was my last choice and like at the bottom of the totem pole, but given circumstances with family life, financial life, and overall my transition into college life, I think that it is the best decision. I don’t really know what I’ve had against it (probably just the fact it’s in Utah) but now that I’ve really looked into my options; I think it is the best decision I could have made.

I am looking forward to attending this university actually, and especially the fact that I will be able to live on campus. I’m beyond excited that I will have the opportunity to live at the U, meet some new friends, live near my classes, live in Salt Lake City, and just making the best out of my experience in college. To be truthfully honest, I think that’s the part that I am most looking forward to. Maybe I’ll even join a sorority… That would be a lot of fun… Oh boy, I just can’t wait.

 I’m also really excited to take all these incredible electives, as I will get the chance to truly discover what my passion is. And it’s a little hard to admit this, but I am glad that I will be able to live with my family nearby.

The other day 3 incredible things occurred to me: 1. I will be able to be home for holidays and birthdays of my family/friends 2. My brother lives nearby and will also be working in SLC, so just TRAXs’ ride away and I can go out with him for lunch or even just spend sometime in his house. 3. (THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST, LIKE HONESTLY THE REASON WHY ;)) I have all of my clothes in my closet that will be no more than 40 minutes away from me, since I unfortunately won’t be able to fit my entire closet in the dorms… 

But anyways I just can’t wait to get into this University life; I’m ready for this new red chapter in my life.

P.S. I was going to say that I bleed red now, but that's like a real life thing... 

Entry 9

Kindness has always been pretty important to me. I believe that very human being deserves to be treated with respect and courtesy no matter who they are, what their circumstance may be, and even if they are not being very nice to you. Being kind to others can have such a positive impact on a person’s life and besides that, if you are kind, people tend to be kind to you back. Sometimes it can be hard to be kind to everyone, as some people can just be so bothersome and you just don’t click. It’s difficult to overcome that tough wall and let out a little kindness. But if it was me, I rather fake kindness than be mean to that person, because then that person will truly have a reason to be really mean back at you. I don’t know if it’s meaner to fake it, but I like to avoid problems at all costs.

 But back to what I’m trying to say is that, kindness is one of the most powerful things, we as humans have the ability to give to other humans. And for all we know, they deserve it, because they are just like you and me. Plus knowing that you made someone even a little bit happier in their day is worth more than words can express. Kindness is so powerful, that even the smallest drop of it can spread a long way to the person receiving this gesture. I enjoy being kind, or at least I try my very hardest to be. To be honest, I’m not completely positive if it’s because I’m afraid of someone being mean to me or that it just makes me feel good. But what I am for certain and completely positive for is the purpose of knowing that I was able to make someone’s day a little bit brighter. 

Lastly, the best part of kindness is that through one act, it will spread to many many more.
