Second week of January already! Where does time go? With it being Winter and all and good old day light savings arriving a few months ago, I feel the need to get something off my chest. This message is for anyone who is an avid runner, walker, cycler, skipper, or whatever. I'm a runner myself and feel like this is a Life Lesson I need to pass on to others. A few times over the last few days I have been driving in the dark. For those of you who live on the West Coast you know that many of our streets aren't very well lit and despite today, it is usually pouring rain. Anyhoo, this leads us into Life Lesson #7. Just because you can see me, doesn't mean I can see you. So I'm driving along when all of the sudden Miss. Runner who is apparently too cool to wear primary colours and insists on wearing all black to blend into the night sky, bolts in front of my car. Oh hey, don't worry I have x-ray vision and can see all your black clothing in the dark. Don't worry, I didn't hit her. Moral of the story: If you are active outside during the hours where darkness falls, remember this: Put on a neon shirt or something.
I'm a student. A student who is almost done my bachelor's and 100% ready to be done with education and move on with my life. I hate studying. It's boring. But it needs to be done. Which brings us to Life Lesson # 8: Procrastination is not your friend. You might think it's the greatest idea ever to hit up the mall with the girls, frolick down by the ocean with the cute guy you met last Tuesday, or even watch your favourite TV show. But let me tell you something, it's not. Moral of the story: Nike says it best "Just Do It". Get it over with. The end result will be worth it and you won't be nearly as stressed when you have effective time management skills.
Now I'm off to apply Life Lesson # 8 to my own life. Stay beautiful!
