Day Twenty-Five:: Go Do Things, Seriously It's Great

I came to London with some goals and with some expectations.  My main hope was to kickstart my life.  I am 19 years old and I finally needed my coming of age story. I wanted to have experiences, to have stories that I can cherish.  I also wanted friends.  Most people who know me have a hard time believing that I struggle making friends, as once I warm up to someone and feel that they like me I will be 100% me.  It takes a bit, but then I am full force, sharing stories that might be a bit too personal and contain too much information in a funny way that doesn't make it feel like I have shared something way too intimate.

When I thought of the other things that I wanted to gain from this, I did not think of the main lesson that I have learned to this point.  I have learned that there is always something to do.  That you need to go out and do things.  Yes they may be there for the rest of your time in that location, but you run out of time.  I am only here for 80 more days and I spent way too much money to get to the end and regret that I didn't do something (ironically I am writing this on a day in which I only did homework).

Now this is something that I am excited to apply to my life when I am back in Utah.  I have never been to Moab.  That's changing this summer.  Speaking of Summer bucket lists, I made a really cute one and hung it in my room last summer.  I might of completed half of them.  That is not happening again.  I am going out to Moab. I am going to the Leonardo in Salt Lake. I am going to start eating in local restaurants. No more complaining about Salt Lake County being boring.

This is a big deal for a girl who loves just sitting on the couch with her best friend and counts that as a fabulous Saturday night.  Now I still love a day in.  But days in will be so much better and cooler when they aren't everyday.

So I am only on day twenty-five and I am already excited to go home, not just to see my family and friends, but so I can go explore Salt Lake (and Utah County when I am back in Provo I guess.  I am in a bit of denial about loving in Utah County).  The problem is that now I have to remember myself that yes it is exciting, but I need to be in London right now.

So if anyone wants to go out and do things this summer, hit me up please.
