You know, just livin' life day by day.

You know those times when you are forced to constantly be thinking about the future? Constantly working on a deadline? Just constantly doing and going? 
My life has been filled with these "constantly" things lately. Constantly thinking about college, summer jobs, internships, college, oh and did I mention college? Constantly trying to get the next outline or paper in on time. Constantly rushing to the next appointment or class. It makes sense, I'm a senior in high school, I need to be doing all these things if I plan to do anything with my life. The only problem that I'm having with it is that I just realized that all these "constants" are making it difficult to truly being aware of the present. Not paying enough attention to the around me and the many, many blessings I have.  

As the Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda said:

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.


 This is me pledging to be aware of my life, my blessings, and those around me. And though I will often be rushing to and fro, I am pledging to live life day by day, remember it's a gift, and lovin' every minute of it.
