Worthy Weekends.

So, hopefully I get into my planned routine tomorrow. Writing everyday except Wednesdays and Saturdays. It will happen, I just have to stop being so sinfully lazy.
This weekend was so worthy, as you can tell from my very straightforward title. I went rollerblading on Friday, which was quite interesting, then on Saturday (my favorite day of this weekend), I drove up to West Point with a bunch of family and friends and went to the football game. I left my camera at my dad's house so I'll upload pictures of it soon. I was so entertained the whole entire time. We tailgated, had football games, watched the game, saw campus life, and experienced the awe of the Army.
It was very ironic as well. I went to see the game on the 11th. I got chills. Seeing these men and women, giving their time so we're safe just made me feel so proud of my country. Securing the general welfare of people and risking their own. It not only made me smile, but also inspired me, to want to do more for my country. Though I'm too young to do much, I still feel the need to be more active, at least know more about our history. Go deeper than just what school teaches us. There was so much simplicity and beauty in all the students at West Point, their conformity, yet uniqueness was so admirable. The spirit in them and their loyalty to America was so meritorious. These are the people that should be honored and in my heart, they are. I'm so glad I had this chance to experience such a fascinating life of these soldiers.
Everyday we should be grateful for them, and keep them in our prayers. Also, this post is dedicated to all those who died on 9/11 and their families. That day will never be forgotten in the hearts of anyone. It rocked a whole country and the effects of it still continue.
On a different note, I started giving people who deserved my attention, my attention. I was wasting my time with people who probably didn't truly care. Now I'm surrounded by people who do. I feel so much more content with myself and my life. Hopefully this year will continue on the route it's going. Have a lovely week<3
