Looking at my life from the outside it might seem like I've got things all figured out. I have a job,I get good grades, and depending on the day I have some really great friends. However after doing some soul searching and self reflection and other deep and meaningful stuff this week I've come to realize that my life is missing something. It's missing awesomeness. I'm 21 years old and my life has already fallen into a predictable and ever repeating cycle. I go to school, I go to work, I do my homework, I sleep. Everyday, endlessly. It's not like there is anything inherently wrong about this. The people I work with are wonderful, classes are good, but I feel like I personally am failing to do awesome things Things that I will look back on with fondness when I'm old and morbidly obese. But all that is changing RIGHT NOW! From yesterday onward I have decided that at least once a week I am going to do something at least mildly spectacular, something that will shake up my routine. Since I like to strike while the iron is hot my first adventure took place yesterday. On the recommendation of a friend I got up this morning and hiked myself up to "the living room."
As you can see from my horribly placed photos the living room is a ledge that over looks the whole Salt Lake Valley where people have used slates of rock to set up furniture. It's pretty sweet, and surprisingly comfortable. The hike up was beautiful, the set up was perfect for a sitting and thinking, the sky was perfectly blue and basically cloudless and the view was breath taking. In a word it was awesome. This hike has set quest for awesome off to a smashing start. Check back in next week when I will hopefully be posting more of the awesome things I've done.
Oh! I also cleaned my room, and my car, which is spectacularly impressive, especially if you know me.
