We Return to this Program Already in Progress...

Hello all, hope your Monday evenings are treating you well. Thought I would tune you all in to my current life. I'm glad that at this point I'm keeping my promise, post wise. I need to have an outlet like this to release all of my current thoughts. Although this blog post may be keeping me from working on a research paper, I think it's time well spent.

Today was class registration for my second semester of college. Damn, that came quickly, huh?! I'm officially registered for a 17 credit semester. Yipee! Shouldn't be too difficult, right? Yeah, uhh, we'll see about that. I'm nervous but growing more and more excited for winter break, which comes first of course. Should be a good time.

As for today, I've been feeling kind of melancholy. Your teenage years and early twenties are supposed to be the best time of your life, and here I am on a Monday night writing a blog post and craving peanut butter Oreos. Story of my life.

Still alone over here. No boy toy, boyfriend, or any of the possibilities. That's fine for now, I guess. But when will it be my turn? I guess nobody really knows the answer to that question until it happens for them. I'll let you know when I get there. Maybe I'll even show him my blog. My boyfriend will have to appreciate my intelligence in order to love me properly. Any less will be his loss. Heehee.

Alright, I guess that's all for now. 7 days until I go home for Thanksgiving! Hip hip hooray!

Until next time

Well, Here I Am

Hey, blog. Last time we spoke I was still college bound. Now look at me, I'm a fully assimilated college freshman (sophomore according to my credits.) It wasn't easy to be as happy as I am right now. In fact, right now I should be studying for my art history exam, but for me, procrastination breeds creativity. So, I decided to write, or, type.

So lets see, when I first got here, I hated it. People were running wild and trying to shove their personalities in everyone's faces. It was embarrassing, really. I was scared of my roommate because she's different than me. I was lonely, even though I had friends. I was missing my family like crazy. I wanted nothing more to be home and wondered if I had even made the right choice by going away to college.

Flash forward about 2 months or so.. I am so extremely happy and thrilled to be here everyday. I love the freedom. Its all about me! I make all my own choices and its really liberating, honestly. I don't call my mom every day. Hell, we barely text. Of course I miss her, but we have separate lives now. She's focused on my brothers, and I'm focused on getting my shit done and having a good time. And I'm doing it.

Being a college student means something different for everyone. There's nobody exactly like me, but there are more similar people than there were at home. Its so cool. I get to decide who I want to be, what I want to do. If that means get my homework done and then have a mixed alcoholic beverage on a monday night in my dorm, I can do that. Its awesome.

I have great friends, and I'm making more every day. One thing thats a little iffy is the boy situation. I'm not a one night stand type of girls, and I feel like a lot of the sexual contact here is like that. That's the kind of thing you can't decide, unfortunately. (when you want to be in a relationship.) Deep down I know that right now can't be the right time for me to have a guy in my life, otherwise I would have one. Although it would be pretty nice to have someone to just hang out with and watch movies and hold hands. It'll come one day.

Well, I thought this blog could use an update, so I gave it to you. I like reading my old posts, it shows the person I was then and I can even tell how I've changed mentally. This semester is almost over, which is crazy. But I will try my hardest to write more posts for anyone who would like to read them. I'm hoping they can be a bit helpful.
