Puzzle Pieces

                    Its weird how things just kind of happen. We plan our lives out, but usually most of those plans don't happen. Or they don't happen the way we think. But the more my life has gone on the more I have learned to trust in God. I was planning on going to Utah State University. But I have recently figured out that it is a little out of price range. So I have decided to live at home this Summer, and hopefully work the same job I did last summer. I have learned that when you just go with the flow life is a lot easier. Even though this past year at Snow hasn't been the easiest I have learned some great life lessons here. I have also made some friends that I think I will have for a while. I have learned that you have to take time now to do the things you want to while you can. I want to take advantage of life while I can. This past weekend I took a trip to a place called Coyote Gultch. It was an awesome experience. I learned how much I have grown as a person, and how much love I have gained for nature. My group had a good amount of time to talk while we were down there. We talked a lot about money and jobs, and life. But I realized that you can make a ton of money doing something your good at, or you can make a decent amount and love what you do. The point of this whole rambling is that I have slowly come to learn what I want to do with my life......kind of. I know I want to be outside in Nature, and be able to teach people. So I have decided to get a degree in Outdoor Recreation. I have also decided to go back to Utah Valley University to do it. Now I didn't plan any of this months ago, it just kind of fell into place. I am grateful for everything I have learned at snow. It has changed me for the better.  

Reflection on Snow College

   
    My time at Snow college is ending, and many people I meet are sad for their time to end. I am not sure how I feel. There are a lot of things about this place that I love, and there are a lot things I don't. I feel like a large amount of the people here still have not moved on in life. Many they still have their same mentalities of high school. That is where I have a hard time connecting with them. I never really felt like I connected with most of my high school peers in high school, so I am defiantly not going to identify with them five years later. I never bought into the whole hormone driven social events. I would rather actually get to know someone. But it still amazes me when I observe how people interact with each other, and I don't understand. Life is just a game to people and they don't understand that its a serious issue. I know we live in Utah where everything is "fine" but really there are things that are bigger than ourselves. But off of that I have enjoyed my time at Snow College. I have learned a multitude of lessons both academically, and socially. I have grown so much in the past year. With all the disappointment just comes another lesson I have learned, and I am stronger for it.
