times with taylor: make today count. you'll never get it back.

Life is short. I mean high school felt like FOREVER, but then I think about how I have already been in college for a month and that just shows how fast time flies. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life but sometimes I wish I could just hit the slow motion button. I wish I could capture each moment in a tiny jar to save for later. Like listening to your best friend make up a funny bed time story, writing post it notes back and forth to your friends while sitting in silence in the library, or staying up way past the time you promised yourself you would go to bed in order to talk to the cute guy down the hall. A wise friend of mine always says "You never remember the nights where you got enough sleep", this describes my life. I can't even tell you the last time I was in bed before one, but I can list a thousand moments that have made my last four weeks ones to remember. As I walked around the beautiful campus of Utah State yesterday, I just kept thinking about how great life is. How everything seems to just fall into place right when you need it most. I know this is not a coincidence, that I have come to find some of my greatest friends are from Boston, Rexburg, Colorado, Utah and even just down the street a ways in Gilbert. That I have come to call Logan my home. I know I have a loving Heavenly Father who put these amazing people into my life and guided me to Logan, Utah. This place just has the best feeling about it. That is why I want everyday to count for something. I know "Everyday may not be good, but there is something good in everyday" and I am determined to find that good. We are all here for a reason and our lives have purpose. Each one of us is here to add something to this world, we have the chance to impact the lives of the people around us. My mom always tells me to lose myself in service because it gives you the opportunity to forget yourself and help others. I can't even express in words how thankful I am for my life. I have gone through my fair share of hardships to get here but with the help of my Heavenly Father I know I am where I am suppose to be. Today is the only September 18, 2014 so find a way to make it count.
