Make It Happen

Soon my first semester in Paris will be over. Don’t worry! I will be back next semester with more exciting stories and pictures for you. Well, at least there will be pictures, I can’t promise exciting stories. I have learned a lot this semester, but the most important thing I have learned is that if you want something, you should do it. Time might not always allow for you to do what you want. I don’t mean to imply that everyone should be out traveling the world. I mean this in an everyday sense as well. This idea applies to everything, from deciding to go to the movies to deciding to go to Damascus. This past week I have heard so many people in the SMU-in-Paris program say things like, “I still haven’t been to the top of the Eiffel Tower” or “I wish I had gone to London”, etc, etc… I never say anything but what I am thinking is: What were you doing with your time that you didn’t? Time is one of the few things in life that we cannot have more of. I can honestly say that I have done everything I wanted to do this semester and I look forward to next semester to experiencing even more new and different things. My hope in writing this blog is that if there is anybody out there who sits around constantly saying “I should do this” or “I should do that”, you should do it! Make it happen.
