The word "resolution" leaves me dumbfounded. I simply cannot come up with a promise I want to keep for the rest of the year. However, I do need to achieve certain things this year. I also need someone to hold me accountable.

I posted this on my Facebook wall, but I thought I should elaborate.

When I look back in time, I always remember the good times. I should just enjoy the present, because today is the past of the future.

I always remember high school as this amazing time I had. All the activities I was involved in, all the amazing people I meet, and all the people who treated me as a friend, sometimes, even a role model! I would never trade anything else for a high school experience. If I think really hard, I've gone through heartbreaks, hardships, and arguments, but all of it seems to be worth the price.

I always remember the two years of undergraduate of college as this life changing experience. I was granted with opportunities I didn't know how to ask for, I also met and worked with amazing people. I was almost famous on campus with all the students and residents that said hi to me every few steps I take. Sure, I did poorly in a few classes, but it was worth it, I finally got to know what "close to failing" felt like. If I've never been there, it'd be hard to be humble.

I remember the years in pharmacy school, learning how much potential there is in each of us. I also met amazing people, really brilliant ones, really smart ones, really nice ones. Pharmacy school was lots of studying, but studying together was probably the most productive hanging out I've done in my life. So many times, I worried that I will not go onto the next year, so many times, I cry because I am so stressed out, but here I am, about to finish it up in May.

Rotations seem like so much work. I still think back to the first rotation: I didn't get the perfect grade, but it was still worth it. I think to my second rotation, driving to different places, but how I miss that rotation. I think to my third one, it seemed like I was not appreciated at the time, but I miss the people now, and I wish I would have the same projects again.

I am on my 4th out of 7 rotations right now. That's more than half way. Time flies, and this cycle needs to stop. I need to enjoy every awesome opportunity I have, as it is happening. It will turn out to be a great time anyway, so why not enjoy it now as well?

It's hard to appreciate the "now," but it is called the "present." I want to be a person who is happy, who enjoys the present, and who can bring joy, instead of someone who regrets later, and only remember the good things when the good things have disappeared from my life.

• Maoz Vegetarian - 
• Specializes in falafel, offers the opportunity to create meals, sandwiches, and salad combination. They are full of flavors from (almost) completely vegan, homemade, fresh salads and sauces.
  
• A "healthier and affordable alternative." - per Maoz' website.
  
• Located in New Brunswick, NJ right next to Qdoba on George Street, around the US and western Europe.
  
• Chop't Creative Salad company -
  
• NOT a health food store! You can make your salad as unhealthy or as healthy as your would like. 
• Located in Washington, DC, and in New York City. Only.
• Currently: "studying" (more like blogging and wasting time) in Piscataway: right next to New Brunswick: left-over Maoz in the refrigerator: perfect studying companion... that I am going to consume. Om-nom-nom-nom.
  
  p.s. I am almost completely moved out of my apartment on campus. Currently, I do not have access to a camera to take pictures and show off the good food I'm eating.
  

5 classes completely done, 1 exam to go! (& procrastinating.)

For those that know me... I also have a favorite cake store. Be shocked.  It's called Cakelove. I am not actually reading the book, but I think I should add that book to the list of books in my previous entry.

OK OK, I will study now.
