The little things in life keep us going. I find that sometimes, we lose track of where we are going, of what we are looking for, and of why we are pursuing this path. I am eighteen years old, too young to make life altering decisions but too old to have decisions made for me. This is the age for making mistakes and taking risks, risks that I will be too afraid to take when I'm older and never imagined taking a few months ago. This first semester has taught me a lot about who I am, and who I want to be. I find that the things that make me happy are the smallest tokens that the day brings me; finding a good song on Spotify, a smile from a stranger, the warmth that hides under my covers and the dreams that wait for me on my pillow. Most of all, I appreciate the days that are different, the ones that stand out from the days that bleed together and the laughs that fall short and the assignments that take all night and the people whose names and faces blur into one. A day that stands out, a day that is new and mine for the taking. Today is all we have, and I am going to cherish every moment.
