Day 30

What have you learned in the past year?

Jayson, me and Angi

-I'm a way different Brittni than I was a year from now. I'm the new and improved :)

-My trials have improved me and have helped me come to realize what my strengths and weaknesses are.

-If the interior door of your car comes off, just screw it on! Works like magic.

-Sometimes I speak with a really nerdy college student vocabulary.

-Road trips are one of my favorite hobbies & always will be.

-It’s quite thrilling to throw water balloons at parked cars on Squaw Peak.

-It's impossible to have good grades, a social life, and sleep. Choose two...

-byu.edu could set a record for being the slowest loading website.

-You'll always have differences with people. Part of life is learning how to deal with them.

-It gets harder and harder to make time for clogging.
-I often listen to this song on repeat. It's my new favorite.

-It's totally worth missing class to go see Jimmer play.

-Blogging is quite enjoyable, but I find it getting lower and lower on my priorities list while I'm in school.

-I get surprisingly passionate about March Madness.

-When you first meet a guy at BYU he doesn't care about how old you are, where you're from or what your major is. He cares about your hand. Your left hand. And when I say your left hand...I mean your ring finger.

-I enjoy critiquing wedding announcements with my roommates.

-Never take Housing the Family and Food Science in the same semester. You will have a minimum of one test a week.

-One of the hardest things to do is when a guy asks you out on a date and you have to tell him you’re not interested.

-Never wear heels the day after you run a 5k. It hurts really bad.

 Growing up isn't just about becoming an "adult." Because let’s think about it, when people say "when I grow up…" what is Up? Will there a day when you think “yep, I’m “up!” No. It’s a process. Growing up isn't about growing taller or becoming more independent.
*It's admitting you're wrong.
*It's allowing yourself to be vulnerable.
*It's about putting your walls down and letting people in.
*It's having your heart broken.
*It's letting someone heal it.
*It's voting for what you believe in.
*It's believing something simply because you know it's true.
*It's learning to trust others.
*It's letting go.
*It's allowing yourself to cry.
*It's allowing yourself to laugh.
*It's realizing how much your parents really love and care about you.
*It's knowing that your mom is always right.
*It's understanding what does and doesn't matter.
*It's accepting that you are far from perfect.
*It's choosing to be happy.
*It's learning to trust the Lord when nothing else makes sense.
*It's planning your future.
*It's about finding yourself.

Growing up is about finding joy in the journey.

"Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."
