The one where I stop counting

I know this is vary rare seeing me post on my blog, but I have decided once again that this needs to start happening more often than not. I am currently in My Senior year of College, President of My Sorority, and hidden under graduate school applications.
I have found myself recently counting down the days to the weekend (because my weeks are jammed packed), the days to Thanksgiving break, the days until Christmas break, and finally counting down the days until Graduation. With all of this counting I am becoming unhappy with the "current" Mindy. I am frustrated about where I will be interring this summer. I am frustrated that I do not know the Graduate School I will be attending yet (when I have not even finished my personal statement), I am frustrated that the days are not going by faster. But really I do not want them to.
As I was waiting on a class to start the other day last week I was looking at Pinterest on my phone. I found this quote.

"sometimes we are all too quick to COUNT DOWN the days that we FORGET to make the DAYS COUNT."

This past semester I have been way to quick to count down the days. I have forgotten to live the days as a college senior. I have forgotten to live in the moment and really enjoy the time God has given me. Though I have so many decisions to make in the next few months regarding where I am going, I still need to stop counting down the days and live today as me. I encourage you if you are counting down the days to stop counting. Life will happen regardless of you counting, and soaking every beautiful moment up is what makes the journey worth while. 

STOP COUNTING! I am.
