some advice

I don't think we should ever regret anything that has happened in our life. There are some extreme exceptions, but the experiences we have had, the environments we have grown up in, and the impressions we have given to people, are all combined to make us the individual we are today. It doesn't matter if those times we shared were good or bad, the important thing is that we should look back and see that whatever events stand out, made us stronger. Mistakes happen, learn to live with them and move on by teaching yourself from your failures. Some things are not meant to be. Even the most serious of events that drastically change people's lives, are not in any single person's control. The person we exist as today is molded together from not only the experiences we have had, but how other people have affected us.  And yet, this works both ways, as we mold others around us.

If we are not happy with where we are, or who we are, then think of the future. We are not making things any better for ourselves or the people around us by feeling negative. It's up to the individual to within themselves and change that. We have the skill and ability within in us as humans to make ourselves content. We are wasting time. The world is a beautiful place. Keep your good memories close to your heart, cherish them and imagine the good times that will come. It's useless to never forgive ourselves and dwell on 'what ifs' and regrets of things we wish we had done. It's in the past, we can't change it, move on.

ahh, that's nice

This is the beer pong trophy Josh made. Tony is holding it because he is greedy. But the very next week, AJ and I would wind up being the ones earning the honors to hold the trophy between roommates!
