This morning I got up and made cinnamon rolls. They were delicious. I called Tim and realized that he was in the dorm so he and Dan came up and we ate them in my living room with the sun pouring in and we each had a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll and I realized something. I want my life to be like this every day. I love my family, who knows what I would have done without them this year, but I am just now realizing that I am growing up. I am ready to be away from my parents and my siblings. I like sitting here, in MY space with MY friends who have now sort of become my family. Being at Casey's was fun, albeit a little weird because I forgot what it was like with them. We all just fell into the old roles we had as friends before. I like that we can so easily go back to that, but at the same time made me realize how weird college is. Like, I feel like Brian and I are best friends, we spend so much time together in classes, eat almost every meal together, study together...All this happened in less than 6 months. And it makes me wonder...would it have happened if I wasn't in this dorm? What would life be like if there were more people to choose from? If I went to Creighton or Loyola, where there is a community of people on campus, instead of literally feeling sometimes like we are isolated out in the middle of this field, stranded together with computers, school books and dorm food. Who would I be friends with? Does everyone feel this thrown-together in college or is it just me? Is it a good thing that I have no problem making friends out of necessity and growing to love them so quickly? My friends are my family now. It is a truly weird feeling, but one that I am loving getting used to.
