Famous Last Words: Time Flies


"Time flies when you're having fun!" That statement has never seemed more true to me than this past week. After the craziness of my Monday and Tuesday (midterms and presentations), I took a couple of days just to have fun. So far this semester I haven't had the most fun because I had such a strict schedule when I was working, interning, and volunteering. A few weeks ago I quit my job, and I've had a little more time to do things that I enjoy. I get to spend more time with my boyfriend, sleep in, make my own meals, and go to bed at a more decent hour! This weekend was definitely proof that time does really fly when you're having fun! My best friend of 15 years got married and I was able to ditch reality for 2 days to go be a part of her big day. Before I knew it, the night was over and all that was left was  my wilted flower crown and these pictures to prove the night was indeed a fun time. 





 My famous last words for reader's is to remember that the more fun you have, the more time is going to fly by. It's so important that we are still intentional in the fun moments to take in every detail so that at the end of the day, we don't forget the special details. My second bit of advice to those that may get lost in the craziness of their schedules like me, remember that time flies by even faster when you're not paying attention. Strive for good grades and provide for yourself financially, but don't let yourself look later in life saying "man. I wish I would have just _______  when I was in college." We get one life on this earth (at least thats what I believe), so enjoy it while you can!

    I'm so happy I clicked on your post on the blog stream! You're so right. Time really does fly by, and even more so when you're having fun. It's crazy to look back at life even thus far. All I can think is... "Where did all of the time go?" Congrats to your best friend of 15 years, that's so exciting and I'm glad it was a blast! Also, good for you on making it to where you have time to do things for yourself and enjoy your time more!

Hello there!! My name is Briana (Bri-aw-nuh), but to keep it simple you can call me Bri! I am an Entrepreneurship Major, and I LOVE it. The way I love to describe my major is that its the "fun" business major. It's all about being creative, thinking outside the box, and solving problems in the real world through a product or service! Its collaborative friendly and encourages team work for pretty much every assignment. I went into my major blindly, but I can't imagine studying anything else.  Since we just got done with summer break I think a lot of who I am is summed up by what I did this summer! I got the amazing opportunity to live in the mountains of Colorado investing into the lives of 16 year olds while walking through scripture with them. I basically got paid to pretend like I was in high school again, and got to do fun things like hike, zip-line, bowl, and so many other things. To change things up a bit I'll provide my summer video that I compiled!...

Week 6 Story: Sleeping Aurrie

Once upon a time, in another land far far away was a king named Hubert. King Hubert was one of the greatest men alive. Not only did his people adore him for his kingship, but they also adored him for his selfless, king hearted mentality. King Hubert was a great king and husband, but he knew he'd be an even greater father.  For years him and his wife were trying to conceive, but time after time they were unable to. King Hubert refused to accept defeat. In the middle of the night he snuck away to go visit Mal, the witch of the kingdom. Mal had nappy, greasy black hair, a wart the size of a tomato on the side of her nose, and her skin was a slight tint of green. When king Hubert arrived Mal knew there was something up, the king barely even acknowledged her most days. The king began to explain his and his wife's troubles and Mal grew angry inside. She knew where the conversation was going and thought to herself: "How dare this man expect anything from me when he has neve...
