I will be brief. Mainly because I'm really tired and my face is in desperate need of a date with a Neutrogena makeup wipe. And also because this has been quite a tiring Tuesday. An overwhelming Tuesday. Yes, overwhelming.
Instead of griping and telling you about how tiring today was, I would just like to say that lots of cookies and saying prayers out loud on your way to the Testing Center always helps. ALWAYS.
When you can't get caught up on homework and you are developing a cold, go to Family Home Evening and eat loads of dessert.
When you wake up late for class and you can't help but think that you have to go home and do loads of homework, eat more cookies.
When you have no food and are starving...well almost anyway...go to the grocery store and get delicious food even if it burns a hole in your wallet.
When you are walking to the testing center about to take one of your harder tests, say a prayer out loud and just get a bit quieter when people walk by. Maybe they will think you're crazy, or maybe they will understand the hurting brain...and heart of a college student who is ready to give up and just needs a little help.
Then when you're done, go eat more cookies. Go pray some more. Listen to a bunch of 80's remixes of modern songs and be happy. Be content.
Repeat often.

Monday Musing: Things I learned...
Monday, October 1, 2012
I hope everyone had a pleasant and lovely weekend. After having a troubling and awful week, I was blessed with a peaceful weekend where I had to study, but was able to speak with the people closest to me. I was able to learn some things.
First, people tell you not to pee in the pool, but sometimes you just have to.
Now you may be thinking, wow Dani, that is the most disgusting thing you have ever said. Well I mean in the ward dating context. So people tell you not to date people in your ward, because it leads to unneccesary drama and awkward Family Home Evenings, but sometimes, you just have to go. You can't hold it in. Humorous right? Yet, so profound! Sometimes you need to date those people, you need to experience those things, you need to test the waters. You just gotta pee in the pool. I would like to say, that a guy told me that analogy. I am taking no credit. Love doctor in the making? Heck ya.
Second, I learned a lot from this quote by Elder Bruce C. Hafen.
Sometimes you just have to dig a little deeper. You have to if you want to figure everything out. As you dig, things become clearer. You suddenly know what to do. Slowly but surely, you realize the Lord's hand in your life. You put your trust in Him and you begin to grow. What a comfort. What a beautiful truth.
So on this Monday, remember sometimes you just HAVE to go, and you HAVE to dig.
That's how you grow.
That's all.

"Life's problems never seem to cease, but trying hard to deal with the problems somehow makes you dig deep enough that you learn things you'd never understand without the digging. A happy life isn't about getting what you want; it's about the attitude you develop toward whatever happens to you, an attitude that lets you grow."
Sometimes you just have to dig a little deeper. You have to if you want to figure everything out. As you dig, things become clearer. You suddenly know what to do. Slowly but surely, you realize the Lord's hand in your life. You put your trust in Him and you begin to grow. What a comfort. What a beautiful truth.
