I just finished my last final however, this semester... wow what a semester. I lost my good friend Erik to cancer, got mono and pneumonia. THIS SEMESTER WAS SO HARD FOR ME. I feel like I've been beaten down and stomped on by college. On top of that I'm not 100% sure about my major. I also had a teacher accuse me of cheating, which I didn't do, so for two weeks I was on trial with her until she realized the truth that I didn't do it. She threatened to fail me (she didn't in the end).
On top of those bad things there were a lot of good things as well though, don't get me wrong my life is still amazing. I traveled to New York City and California, a tweet of mine went viral, I made the front page of my local newspaper, started writing more songs, did President's Cabinet at USU, made Blue Crew for next year at USU, met Jimmy Fallon, saw 3 broadway shows, made a lot of new friends (lost a lot of friends), performed in front of thousands of people, was awarded hardest worker for my division in Presidnt's Cabinet, moved to a higher up position at my job, gained a lot more confidence and respect for myself... Honestly my life is a whirlwind.
The truth is I think I grew more in this semester than people normally do in 10. I was put in the refiners fire, which means God is probably preparing me for something big. I know this post seems more like a journal entry but I felt like I needed to put this on my blog for some reason. I don't think anyone will even read this, so maybe it's more for me.
It's summer now, as of today. My goals for this summer are to focus on getting myself completely better from all this crap in my system leftover from mono and pneumonia, focus on my music, take it easy and not overwork. I would love to pursue music more than anything right now, maybe that's just me being sick of school, but I can't wait to see where it takes me.
