Tonight I read the blogs of some "kids" I really love and miss. They aren't really kids anymore. They've grown up and moved on/out. A few are at BYU-Idaho, one is at BYU-Provo, and I LOVE reading their blogs. It brings back memories... and a few regrets... of the time I spent at college. Oh what i wouldn't give to go back!! If i had it all to do again here's a few things I'd do differently:
1. Boys... I'd date. And I'd date like CRAZY!!! But not just any boys... I'd date boys who have ambition, a strong testimony, and a love for the wilderness. Looks fade, bills pile up. housework and yard work can be a drag so find the boys you don't mind looking at on the inside, the ones who will always be good providers for your family, and who know how to clean a toilet. The rest is easy. LOL
2. Grades... They matter. I would have studied harder, attended my classes more, and actually TRIED to make it to the next semester instead of just looking for the easy road (their ain't no easy road).
3. School... I would have stayed on campus more. Joined clubs... been INVOLVED. Yeah. Big missed opportunity there.
4. Friends... I don't remember the full names of anyone I went to college with... not even my roommates. How sad is that? Seriously. I should have made better friends. I should have been a better friend.
You get out of life what you put into it. I didn't put much of myself into college and I didn't get much out of it. Fail. In more ways than one.
oh, this makes me sad. I wish we all could haved "do overs" in some things. But, the best part is you learned....maybe not what the books had, but rather what "life" had to offer. When we "stay the course" we will always be happier. I love and miss you tons. Dad appreciates you and so do I!
