A Burst of Lemon, Made with Real Fruit
Crazy as it sounds, that is how I would describe this day! Sometimes life is not the sweetest and it isn’t the yummiest lemonade (which by the way, is definitely found at Chick-fil-a). Sometimes this life is made with real fruit. That’s just the blunt truth!
Mornings are just NOT my thing!
After a very early morning and a lot of grunting to drag myself out of bed, I thought a nice refreshing shower would cheer me up, however, I then stepped outside to a rainy AND snowy day and thought, this is the end! With second day soggy hair, I rushed to my work meeting and then off to skating around my campus. I know I should invest in some boots because I am now a Utahan, BUT I am still in denial!
I honestly couldn’t even focus in Chemistry today because my mind was begging to go back to bed! No intermolecular force in that class could hold my brain together!
But as I was scooping up a spoonful of my Yoplait lemon burst yogurt, I realized something- that just like my yogurt, life was made with real fruit. It was made with ups and downs and what feels like pointless classes. Real fruit is bitter, sweet, savory, and unpredictable. Real life is just the same. That is lesson #1.
Life is made with real fruit and college is a smoothie full of it!
No matter what university you choose, no matter what classes you take, you will face moments that will define your flavor. You will taste the bitter, sweet, savory, and unpredictable. But in the end, you’ll devour the whole thing and it will leave you wanting more
