Don't Skimp with Me Today

And there goes another week! These weeks literally fly by and I have NO IDEA where the time goes!! Speaking of time, today I got advised for the beginning of my senior year. HMM when did I become a senior in COLLEGE? I remember moving into my dorms, taking FYE, and realizing I wasn't at home anymore... Soon enough you will be reading about my internship frets and grad school dreams. I had to update my resume just the other day and I can honestly say that for the first time in a while, I was really proud of myself. All the stress and tears is starting to pull together right here at the end. Receiving a letter to join a honors leadership society topped off my day even more.

Then, today I was reflecting on my resolutions I made in January. While I cant say I have been running as much as I would like, most of my other resolutions are going strong in MARCH! :D I feel better than ever and I want to share this feeling with everyone! SOAR is going amazing and I can not say how happy I am to have such wonderful people in my life! Spring break is also coming up in about a week, which I cant be more stoked for this...! Another side note to my recent happiness... my world lit class. I know this may come as a shocker, but that class is so refreshing. We are currently studying the romantic period-- a time filled with imagination, dreams, and beauty in nature. This is one of my favorites so far-- A poem from Indian poet, Ghalib. A little 'carpe diem' :D

Dont Skimp with Me Today

Ghalib

For tomorrows sake, don't skimp with me on wine today.

A stingy portion implies a suspicion of heaven abundance.

The horse of life is galloping; we'll never know the stopping place.

Our hands are not touching the reins, nor our feet the stirrups.

I keep a certain distance from the reality of things.

Its the same distance between me and utter confusion

The scene, the one looking, and the ability to see are all the same.

If that is so, why am I confused about what is in front of me?

The greatness of a river depends on it magnificent face.

If we break it into bubbles and drops waves, we are lost.

She is not free from her ways to increase her beauty

The mirror she sees is on the inside of her veil.

What we think is obvious is so far beyond our comprehension.

We are still dreaming even when were awake.

From the smell of my friends friend I get the smell of my friend.

Listen, Ghalib, you are busy worshiping Gods friend.

I hope everyone is having a great week and have an even better weekend :D I know this weather is crazy and everyone is getting sick... so read up on this article I found! STAY HAPPY AND HEALTHY! btw, happy national nutrition month! go eat some fruits and veggies!
