hey there, friends and lovers, fellow adventurers, wanderers, traveling souls, all of you who have bachelor's degrees, how'd you do it? how did you resist the call of the wild and stay committed to school? i'm completely pummeled over with wanderlust. i need adventure like i need friendship, life is just not entirely fulfilled without it, no matter how good everything else is. i just read this post and the sea turtles part just knocked me over and then i deliberately try to avoid this blog because every single post makes my eyeballs pop out of my head. ugh. #college #travel #getmeouttaheeya

i have to take a mountain drive pretty often to keep me from going insane. also, spring couldn't get here soon enough. however, this february hasn't been half bad! it's legit been raining most days (as in not snow). pretty neat.

this image is much more dreary and depressing than i actually feel at this moment. i took the photo on a darker day when all i wanted was to not be in the middle of a utah winter. i guess it's a reminder that "this too shall pass", for better or for worse. sometimes i look around at my life and feel nostalgic for the exact moment i'm living. i am constantly reminding myself that all of this will be gone far too soon. even if there are nothing but better things ahead, i sure am lucky to have all that i do at this moment. this utah winter will be a forgotten memory soon enough. in fact, i'm sure there will come a day that i'll look back at this post and laugh at my melancholic nature over a darn season.

but for now, it's february and march 1st (which jared and i have been calling "celebration day", because if we make it to march 1st there will be a huge celebration) will be here soon enough. come on, we can survive february!
