Pepsi Challenge

Me and my best roomie Hailey Luann are attempting a Pepsi Challenge. We grabbed 2-liters of Pepsi for each of us and we are sipping on them. It's going to be crazy. It has already been quite silly. We have been watching my past YouTube videos from when I was a high school freshman; which I will not display.

We just had a 4 day weekend off from school, and it was amazing. I worked all of it, but that's all right. I also got to hang with my bud Pfeifer and a few others and celebrated the Easter Holiday. I always thought Easter was an uneventful holiday. That all you do is search for little eggs with yummies inside. That is 90% of what people do. But I was thinking of the idea behind Easter and the bunnies and the eggs. It's just interesting that we have a holiday that is related to starting over and that "Christ has risen" and etc. I don't know how much people think into what happens in the world. But I've been thinking a lot lately. Some times there's nothing much else to do except think. Like, why are we all here? Why do we have or do the things we do? Why did Christ do what he did for US? Was the Bible just a nice story? Or was it real? In my opinion.. I believe in Christ. I believe it happened! But I have also been trying to understand other people's opinions. I don't like to be one-sided. It's just crazy how many theories are possible.

Anything is possible if you believe in it!

Hello Blog.

First blog. Yay!

I've been thinking about starting this for quite some time now. I have a lot of thoughts. The average person thinks 400-500 wpm. I probably think with about 139,394,000 wpm. 'Might have some sort of attention disorder. Or, I might just be normal, with a few screws loose. Anyway.

I have been thinking a lot lately. So many things have changed for me this year. It's all in good ways. But it's just weird. In high school, I felt like I always needed someone there. But then again, I was a loner. Over time I've been concealing my feelings more and more. But also, I have been more vocal about my feelings. It's important to let people know how you feel, no matter how scary it is. Because your heart can be stuck in an unhappy relationship, or a dearly loved one could pass without knowing how much you truely love them and more. This has been a topic on my brain ever since I left my home in Pella. 

I miss my family dearly. They fill love in my heart; I don't know what I'd do without it. It keeps me going on and it gives me a purpose. I constantly think about my grandpa. He passed away in May 2009. He meant so much to me, like the rest of my family. But the thought that he would give up anything and everything for his family, motivates me. He was an artist, like me. He was an amazing carpenter. And I keep thinking, if he had such an amazing life, I can have one too. That's all I'm trying to do now; just have a fun-filled life. I don't let anything get in my way anymore. I'm not going to let anything get me down. I know what I want and I'm going for it. :]
