screw the idea of waiting for magic, everyday is magic.



I have been waiting for a sign, an inspiration, a moment of pure overflow of word vomit to appear in my lap. I was waiting for something to fall from the sky or for someone to yell a story from across a room. I was waiting for magic, but I came to realize that magic is in the every day simplicities. I realized that every single day something happens that is important at creating my life story. I had lots to say while I was in Italy because I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to live and thrive in a foreign country, but I am also very lucky to wake up each day in Salt Lake City, Utah with a wonderful family, good friends, and a place to call home. So screw the idea of waiting for magic, everyday is magic. And what you just witnessed was me having a moment of clarity, a moment of thankfulness, and a realization that every day needs to be lived like it’s my last.


You finish reading that and now the sigh of relief floods out of your mouth because Audrey’s sentimental, tender time is over. Now it’s on to the things Internet junkies love to hear. For example I recently (like yesterday) purchased an iPhone. It is incredibly addicting and I personally apologize to anyone I ever publically made fun of for being so obsessed with an electronic. This device can do everything, like Instagram and Foresquare while Tweeting about it and posting everything on my (and your) Facebook timeline, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. I feel like I am part of club now, the iPhone Club. We should get jackets.

Well, I just checked my iPhone and it said that it was past my bedtime. Here’s to better posts in the future and to being thankful for everything we are presented with. xoxo

notes from the non business major in a business class

Just being released for a ten minute break, I watch as the older students of my Foundation of Business class pack up their bags and scurry out of the classroom. Our class does not end for another hour and a half, yet people skip out; leaving the ending result student count as a mere fifteen, compared to the large quantity of one hundred and nine. Ultimately it is there decision and the University pockets their money none the less, but I feel sad for my professor as he gazes out onto a now empty class. I hope he doesn't think they leave because of the content of his class, or his jokes and awkward sense of humor. I hope he doesn't take it personally.
