You Only Live Once.

Ever since graduation, I've felt so... different than I used to. Older, more mature, somehow suddenly more sophisticated and grown up.

I think part of this stems from working full time, starting to pay some of my own bills, and making more of my own decisions. I like it, but it still seems so foreign to me. (Yes, I know I have the next 65 or so years to get used to this) I think I'm at a beautiful stage of life right now. Young, but not too young. Naive, but not clueless.

Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself, "I'm going to remember this moment for the rest of my life"? I experienced that tonight. Not because anything spectacular or fascinating happened, but simply because I was completely and utterly happy, right at that moment. Life is so beautiful, if you can take the time to stop and enjoy it.

Yesterday I went up on campus (WSU) to take my accuplacer for math, (I placed in 1010! Yay!) and I got so excited for college. I'm so excited for this upcoming stage of my life. Excited. Me. For COLLEGE. I've finally reached the point where I'm not terrified for life anymore. I'm excited. Sooooo excited.

Here I am, eighteen days away from my eighteenth birthday, and I'm completely happy with life.

Live it, and love it, because you only get to experience life once. Just don't be stupid. #yolo
