I want to go to Italy. I want to start working out again– stopping= worst idea ever! I want to do more and stress about  less. I want to pay more attention in class. Like REALLY pay attention. I want to go on a European tour. I want to type up all of the quotes that have inspired my life, and do something AMAZING with them. I want to finish this semester with above a 3.2. I want to say more “I feel like…” than “YOU (always) do that/ YOU never do that… ” when Nathan and I argue. It’s un-constructive criticism. It’s nitpicking. It’s a tendency of many women– I want to teach myself differently.  I want to be confident and intentional with every step I take. Every word I speak. Every decision I make. Every thing that I do. I want to be more involved on campus. I want to work hard. I want to paint canvas’ more often. I want successful, valuable work experience (internship) this summer to put on my resume. I want to waste less time. I want to be a good, honest friend. I want to buy more, inexpensive but nice clothes. I want to spend more time with friends and less time running around like ‘a chicken with my head cut-off.’ I want to call my dad more and talk. Like really talk– it fills my heart like nothing else. I want to let go of stupid, no-reason awkwardness. I want to stay focused. I want to pray more. I want to expect more and less from those around me. I want to tell my COM 100 instructor her Rhetoric in Society class is the most boring class I have taken at the University of Alabama, and ask her why she is SO dad-gum odd. I want to stay up-to-date on all my laundry ’cause I dislike not being able to wear clothes an infinite number of times. Disgusting. Let’s re-phrase: I want to wear Nike shorts and my favorite t-shirts EVERY DAY. I want to be confident. I want to take my contacts out every. single. night! I want to listen to more music. I want to take more day road trips. I want some new music. I want to go to Target for retail therapy. I want to read a book that has nothing to do with a textbook! I want to know what happens on One Tree Hill without waiting a whole stinkin’ week. I want for people to say what they’re gonna do. I want to CONTINUE to do what I say I’m gonna do, and say what I cannot/will not do. I want to not care about what people think. I want to do all the good that I can. I want to EMBRACE every single day, but not like it’s my last (i hate that) I want to embrace every. single. day. because that’s what you do to be content! That’s what you DO every single day. I want to love with reckless abandon. I want to support Nathan with everything that he encounters. I want to LAUGH more. I want to read His word more often. I want to build stronger, more consistent friendships. I want to be a mother and a wife, in due time!! I want to go on a road trip out West. I want more people to feel comforted by His GRACE. I want to learn how to play guitar. I want to keep my cool when I REALLY DO NOT want to! I want to make a difference, a small one, in the world. I want to be more educated about… everything!

I’ve got the world at my heels!
