it's been a busy month for sure.final papers up the wazoooooo, group projects, presentations, applications and so on. but in the midst of it all i try not to forget the real things in life. i mean i know these things are real, but they are not the REAL things in life. they are not the people who let me be who i am not matter how i am feeling, they are not the things that will matter a year or two down the road..hell even a week or two down the road. they are not things that will over all change who i am at the core.
whenever i get too caught up in the paperwork of my life, my mom always brings me back to the ground by reminding me that none of these things i am letting take all the energy out of me will keep me from having a successful life. my favorite is when i call her up crying about an exam or a paper, which i have done countless times in the past years, i go on and on all worked up about how i am so tired and can't do the project or can't past the exam and she says jamie, if you dont pass can you still buy a puppy, can you still get married someday, can you still go to the beach in the summer? and i of course respond...yea. and she goes ok. then it doesn't matter what happens, the other things in life will still happen.
I love how she can bring me back and help me realize that.
so as i flip out about exams and packing and graduating and moving and mindless things... i try to remember...no matter what happens...it'll be ok..and...i call my mom alot!!!

haha...I always remember your mom saying that! And it's so true...good to think about as I freak out about exams :)
I hope you're freaking out less now. (or even possible done with it all??)
Your mom has a great way of thinking about things. I'll definitely have to remember that when I get bogged down by the little things.
You have a job, so it really doesn't matter anyway. And you get some cheap, cute clothes!
Congrats, again! I'm so excited for you!
Love you lots!

My blog is what usually helps me reflect on the priorities and whats important in my life.
Sometimes all it takes is for me to get it out of me, to make my load less, in order to feel better. Plus, it's way easier to reflect on the high points after calming down a bit through writing ;)
Your mom sounds great :)
