Life, it can be a none stop roller coaster ride of friends, love, drama, school, fun, and everything else in between. \u00a0Something I’ve noticed this year, is that it’s so easy to get caught up in it all, and forget to take those little moments out of your life to just stop, evaluate and be truly thankful for where you are and the life you have.<\/p>\n
I understand, that not all of us came from the best backgrounds, I get that, trust me<\/em>. \u00a0But, for those of us who had less of a stellar start and for everyone else, this is the time in our life where we can decide how we want our lives to go. \u00a0We are, for many first years, out on our own for once and now we can start making decisions that will shape a better, healthier, happy life. \u00a0Now that being said, it’s easy getting caught up in being a first year… especially if you live in dorms. \u00a0The realization that there is life beyond first year is astounding. \u00a0It’s like that feeling you got in highschool… there’s life beyond it. \u00a0It doesn’t matter how much fun you are, or are not having right now in your dorms… there is life beyond the cement walls. \u00a0And this life, unlike the life we had last year, is pretty much completely blank. \u00a0And it’s amazing<\/em>.<\/p>\n So, essentially, what I’m saying in this short, long overdue blogpost is…<\/p>\n Don’t regret doing what makes you happy, put your life in perspective, and take moments out of everyday to just stop and find beauty in any situation you’re in.<\/p>\n Peace, love and all that stuff,<\/p>\n Sam.<\/p>\n PS.<\/p>\n I already broke one of my new years goals… But hey, I’m taking six courses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Life, it can be a none stop roller coaster ride of friends, love, drama, school, fun, and everything else in between. \u00a0Something I’ve noticed this year, is that it’s so easy to get caught up in it all, and forget to take those little moments out of your life to just stop, evaluate and be […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2422,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[417,1,206],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rez-life","category-uncategorized","category-wellness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2422"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77\/revisions\/78"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/sammy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
