God

I asked God for a flower, and He gave me a garden. I asked Him for a tree, and He gave me a forest. I asked God for a river, and He gave me an ocean. I asked Him for a friend... and God gave me you!

Hangin' out with my true friends. True friends are the people that are there for you u n c o n d i t i o n a l l y. They are the people that -n-e-v-e-r- question you and support you n o m a t t e r what the circumstances are. They are the p e o p l e - w o r t h . l . i . v . i . n . g . f o r -

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small people who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.

Quit worrying about stupid things. You have four years to be irresponsible. Relax - work is for people with jobs. You won't remember class time, but you will remember the time you spent hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late, go out on a Tuesday when you have a paper due Wednesday. Spend money you don't have. Drink until sunrise. The work never ends, but college does.

Take Chances. Tell the truth. Date someone totally wrong for you. Say no. Spend all your cash. Fall in love. Get to know someone random. Be random. Say I love you. Sing out loud. Laugh at stupid jokes. Cry. Apologize. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Tell a jerk what you think. Laugh til your stomach hurts and your eyes water. Live life. and most of all...have no regrets

**Each of us represents a star in the sky. Sometimes we shine with the rest, sometimes we twinkle alone, and sometimes... when we least expect it... we fall and make someone's dreams come true.**

"People are often unreasonable and self centered: forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives: be kind anyways. If you're successful, you'll win some false friends and some true enemies: succeed anyway. If you're honest and frank, people may cheat you: but be honest anyway. What you spend years building, someone can destroy overnight: build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous: be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow: do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough: give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, its between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway . . ." -Mother Teresa

You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters. If you want to go on, then you have to leave your past as you turn the pages of life. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
