This weekend.

Recently I've been trying to take advantage of more opportunities that are in my direct surroundings. Yesterday, I went to a New York Jets game with some of my roommates after purchasing discounted tickets through my school. Despite the fact that I am not a die-hard football fan, much less a Jets fan (49ers, anyone?), I had an amazing time. 

College is a time that exposes you to the truth that lies behind so many cliches. You can sit on the couch and watch life pass you by, or you can get up and live. I would have never pictured myself going to a professional football game two years ago, but I find myself asking "why not" much more than "why" this year. 

As always, Ferris Bueller gets it right: 

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it."
