Taking a look back.

Holy cow! 

Spring 2012 has been quite the semester.

So naturally I am SUPER excited for summer :)

Every aspect of my life was a challenge.

Then I had to go and make school a challenge.

Feeling adventurous I took 17 credits. 

NEVER AGAIN.

I don't know what possessed me to do such a crazy thing but it happened.

With half of my classes being art, it made it about 100X worse. Don't get me wrong, I loved them. Super stressful and time consuming but they were good overall.

But the point of the story. . .

Someone please shoot me before I sign up for 17 credits again.

Honestly, the only way I got through it was through Heavenly Father's help.

I couldn't have done it without him.

I have never been closer to my Savior before this semester. Most days when I felt like I couldn't go on and felt like running to my aunt's or sprinting in the opposite direction to California, He was there and gave me the strength to continue. 

So even though it was beyond hard. Even though I cried through most of it. 

I have learned so much about myself, other people and other quality life lessons. 

I have found that no matter what people think, I know that I am an imperfect person. Trying to do my very best to be happy, kind and more like Christ in my words and actions. 

So even though I am not perfect. I am loved by a perfect God, who will and has never left me alone.

So in the words of President Monson, I have honestly and truly found its better to look up.
