December is Here!

I'm so excited for Christmas break. I can't wait to see my sister, spend time with my family and the love of my life, and relax with no work or school to think about. Usually I'm excited about getting awesome things for Christmas. I discovered this year that I've taken time with my loved ones for granted. But never again, because I realize now how precious every moment is. As for my wonderful friends and sisters at South, I will miss them. But I guess you can't have everything all at once!! 
I'm freaking out about finals and these last minute papers I have to write, but I'm trying not to stress out too bad (yeah right). But I think I can handle it. Next semester will be a doozie, but I'm trying to finish school as efficiently as possible. As of now, I am planning to graduate December of 2014. I really hope that happens (or sooner, that's okay too but I doubt it). 
Another thing I am looking forward to for Christmas break is seeing all my old friends in Tuscaloosa! I feel like I've really lost touch with a lot of them and I need to get it together and catch up! It's gonna be a great month, December. I hope everyone's holiday season is fantastic! :)

"The Now"

They say your life flies by

They say you'll regret wishing for everything to go faster

Knowing that, why do we still do it?

As much as I'm ready

To move on with my life

I want to cherish the now

Let it go by slow

But it won't slow down

I can't slow down

I'm 20 years old

That's nothing, I know

But to me

It means a chapter of my life is over

And I can't get it back

It means I'm closer to starting my life

Getting done with school

Marriage, kids, everything

And I'm so excited

But what if that goes by just as fast?

They say it feels like the blink of an eye

When your kids grow up and move out of the house

That's terrifying 

I'm so looking forward but so afraid

So worried that it'll be over in a flash
But I'll keep my head up
And stop wishing for the days to fly by
To get to what lies ahead
I'm gonna slow down
Enjoy the now
And breathe.
