Day 33: September 11, 2011

Forever remember 09/11/01


Uh yeah, so... Who's idea was it to start a blog right before starting college?! Because seriously... it's not working out so well. I would apologize, but really I think the only person I'm letting down here is myself. I hate looking back and seeing that I haven't posted in a week, and when I did the most significant thing I had to say was that the dorm food sucked (which is still true..) But seriously, balancing time has been a challenge.
My roommate and I somehow managed to get into three of the same classes, but for some completely unfair reason we have had the least amount of homework in those three classes. So when I come home at the end of the day with 3 hours of home work she may come back with 45 mins only. But I am still enjoying my classes, Environmental science still seems like it's going to kick my a$$, but I need the challenge.. right?
Other than classes, school is pretty cool. Our room saw a lot of excitement today... We got 3 new rugs that (kinda) match our stuff... :) We got a newly used microwave and when we went to plug it in we blew our first fuse and went without AC for a bit. And then Leah kindly replaced my broken lamp with a new one... and it still doesn't work, so we're still looking into that problem. But while Leah was out and about working and getting all of those new and exciting things I was stuck here writing a two page fable for english, and I really liked the way it turned out. And when it's due in a few weeks I will probably post it on here to show you all my mad fable skills.
Anyhoo, I just had a few spare moments to blog and thought I would just do some quick updates. Hopefully next time I will have something a little more significant to say, but no promises. I saw this quote the other day and found it absolutely inspiring. I hope it can inspire some of you as well. Miss you. :)

"I want to learn about the world.

I want to surprise myself.

I want to be important.

I want to be the best person I can be.

I want to define myself, instead of having others define me.

I want to not be afraid of the unknown.

I want an interesting and surprising life.

It's not that I think I'm going to get all of these things.

I just want the possibility of getting them.

The possibility that things are going to change, and I can't wait."

Day 32: September 4, 2011

"We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken."
-LOOKING FOR ALASKA ; John Green




I survived my first week of college. 
I got lost, I think I did poorly on a test, there was a gecko in my shower, I laughed, I cried, my car was completely COVERED in bird feces, I made friends, and I feel like I may have lost some... 
BUT I SURVIVED.
And I feel like I've learned more in the past 2 weeks then I learned in my 4 years of high school, and that's the honest truth. It truly has put things into perspective. It's shown me who my true friends are, it's shown me that you may think that you know someone... but wait until they're on their own, to see who they truly are. College has defined "trust" for me. College has shown me that I probably should have listened to my mom all those times she tried to show me how to make simple dishes... :/ The dorm food gets older every day... College has taught me that thankfully church trips over the years prepared me for what it's like to go a full day off of only a couple hours of sleep!
But overall, college has taught me that the most important thing is to enjoy. 

Enjoy your classes, enjoy walking around this beautiful campus.. despite this awful heat, enjoy all of the hilarious memories you make each day that you know you are going to remember for the rest of your life.
ENJOY LIFE.
Even when it sucks.
Even when people sucks.
Things WILL get better, they simply have to.
Stick in there, do your homework, get some sleep.


OH, and buy some new milk, because the stuff in your mini fridge got a little chunky over the weekend. -_-

LIVE.LAUGH. LOVE WASTEFULLY.
