[day 2: connections]

as a big [freshmen] colleger-i've started to notice how important connections are.
not like the "dude--hook me up with a free new car!!" connections
[if we're being honest, i don't have many-if any-of those]
i'm talking about the [deep] connections that
every. single. person. on this earth
is searching for.


walking through campus every day, i see a lot of connections being made.
hugs, hand holding, and the more than occasional kiss are shared between couples,
high-fives and hugs are shared with friends.


for some, the connection is made by asking "hey, you want a piece of my sushi?"
[never for me. if you want to make a connection with me-ask if i want your taco]

it's that connection a newborn baby has to his mother, and later, his dad.
it's the connection you get when you back together with your best friends,
and no matter how long you've been apart, absolutely nothing has changed.
it's the connection you have when someone holds your hand, and it's absolutely perfect.

it could be that connection when you dig in the dirt to plant flowers for spring 

[so excited for that. cannot even tell you]

or the very first time you perform in front of a crowd
it could even be that connection when information finally
clicks as your studying for a test. [how good is that feeling? honestly]

for a lot of people, it's a pretty simple connection they're longing for.

it could be a smile, a touch, a laugh, an eye contact.
for me, making connections with others is a really important part of my life.
i love to hear stories, experiences, jokes, things that bring that person and i together
[not trying to sound romantic-although romantic connections are pretty great]       things that we can go back to later.


as i continue my walk through life [and through uvu's campus]
i know that i will continue to make connections...
i'm excited to see where they take me!
lets get connected people.
over and out.
