If time would slow down...

I would take the time to enjoy the opportunities I have been and will be granted. I have a good life and I feel like I am not living my full potential. I can excel more than what I believe I can, whether that being academically, in the community, athletically, or in another way. If I set my mind to it, I know I can accomplish it. There is no point in waiting for a better opportunity to come because it most likely never will if you don't try to reach it. You need to put in work - as much work as you possible can until you reach the achievement. Even then, you still need to continue. I know I often let the opportunities slip by me when they come and I regret it months later. To become a better version of yourself, you need to take these opportunities. Most of them are once in a lifetime, and this lifetime you have been granted is a fast one.

If time would slow down...

I would take the time to capture the opportunities created for me. I use my phone more than I desire, but never for a reason that I am proud of. The other day, I was tempted to post something to a social media platform but realized I had a very small variety of photos to post. I desperately wanted to post something, but I only didn't have anything that captured all the excitement I had encountered leading up to that moment. I rarely take pictures, mostly because I feel too awkward about asking someone else to do so. And in the modern time, some individuals state that it is better to put the cellular device down and enjoy the world around each and every one of us. I believe that this is a valid belief, but I also think that it doesn't hurt to capture the moments in photo. It can be used in some form later and each memory is something that will never be able to be replicated. Trust me - take the picture.

I would take the time to create more opportunities for myself. Much too often, I find myself in a routine schedule playing out the exact same day after day. I am either copying notes or avoiding the task of coping notes. I am standing in a store, greeting the faceless individuals that float by as they look for a dress to wear that night at a local bar. I don't go out and enjoy myself, and time is something that no one is ever able to get back. Instead of wasting each and every minute and realizing just how many seconds from the day were used up on nothing, take the initiative to do something spontaneous. These actions create the best memories and are much more memorable than the nights underneath the lamplight with a pile of textbooks collecting dust beside you.

If time would slow down...

I would take the time to appreciate ever precious second time has given me. Though I might be a bit late to the idea and something like that is hard to follow, it's never too late to start.
