Some Days

Some days I feel like quiting
It seems so hard and rough
But when I think it over
It's not so very tough

I could sail across the ocean
Or soar over the land
Like a ship without a harbor
Or a bird that needs a hand

I have so many options
Sitting right before my eyes
The decision is a hard one
So what would you advise?

I wish I had no worries
As in the times of yore
But since that time's behind me
I'll forget them ever more

For looking at the past
Won't get you very far
And hoping for the future
Won't get you that new car

So live within the present
Forget about all else
Praise the living Savior
And make something of yourself

Money, money, money!

I'm rolling in it! Not really though. After I get done with college I will probably be left in debt up to my ears. But I was thinking, since right now I have a few thousand dollars, that maybe I should invest it by purchasing some land. It would be smart to invest my money to make interest on it because, if I am forced to take out a college loan, it would have low or no interest. I could thus be making more money on an investment than I am losing on college loans. I don't know why people don't take out loans during college and invest money at the same time so that when they are done the money they have made will have created interest and helped them pay off their debt in full or at least helped them significantly. Maybe I'm missing some important information that would not allow this, but it seems like a good idea from where I stand.

These are my plans for my future house. They might be hard to understand but they will probably change anyways.

The College Experience Continues

Well, I got back to PSU at about 6:15 p.m. on Sunday. Originally my ride wanted to leave at 5 a.m. to beat the traffic, but luckily Jenn Prather offered to take me down later in the day so I was able to go to church and spend a little more time with my family. Not to mention the extra hour or two of sleep I got. It really sucks to come back after such an extended vacation. I can't wait til summer! When I was home I had no obligations or actual responsibilities although I did do chores every day. I had a lot of fun and did whatever I felt like. Well, now I'm back to a schedule and routine. Yesterday I went and purchased all of my books. It cost me less than $250 so I was pretty happy. I also went around and looked for some of my classrooms. Today was the first day of classes. It was my easiest day because I only had two classes and was done by 12:05 but tomorrow will suck with four classes. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to deal with it. I hope I can learn to be a little less pessimistic sometime soon. I can always look forward to spring break in March!
