I'm posting for the first time in what seems like forever. I wrote a poem a couple months back and posted that, but that's all.
This post is at the request of my new LJ friend,
ravenery. Hopefully I won't bore her with my lame life. (:
So....life. It's going pretty good at the moment. I've been wanting to post an update for months, but I never found the time.
My senior year of high school culminated in my graduation on May 19, 2009. It went by really fast and I was really sad to see it go. It was a great year and I'll never forget it. I had my share of drama, because what school year is complete without it? But I tried to keep the drama to a minimum this year. I was determined to have a good year. I wanted to remember my senior year, my last year with the Class of 09, many of whom I have known since we were about 5, as a good year. I wanted to remember it fondly, to look back with a smile on my face and tears of joy, if any tears at all. I do believe I had my great year. I'm going to miss everyone, even the ones I couldn't stand in school. My class is now spread all over the state and it just isn't the same. I'm even beginning to miss a few of the underclassmen I left behind, some more than others. But I have a few really good friends that I miss so much, it brings tears to my eyes when I think about them.
Becca is now in her senior year and I miss her so much. I've only known her for about a year, but she is like a sister to me now. I worry about her daily and it is going to be torture when she goes to college on the other side of the state next year. Every time I see her, I give her a hug and hold on as tight as I can. I feel almost like she's slipping away and I don't want to lose her. But she is strong. We will both be fine and we will keep in touch over the coming years. That I can guarantee. Becca will never read this, but I'm going to say this anyway: I love you with my whole heart. You are more than a friend, you are my sister.
Madi is my baby. She is a sophomore this year and I've known her since she was in the 7th grade. I worry about her as well and I don't speak to her much, because we are both very busy. She also means the world to me and I hope her every dream and wish comes to her. She really deserves the best. She is a complete angel sent down to touch the hearts of those who need her. I've left her as a freshman with my last bit of advice, some senior wisdom: Don't allow high school to change who you are. You are perfect the way you are and you should not allow "the best years of your life" to actually ruin you. I hope she heeds my warnings and never forgets that I love her.
It takes everything in me not to cry when I think of those girls. They are very special to me and I hope they never forget me, for I know I shall never forget them.
My summer was quite boring. I didn't do much. I finished the yearbook for school and prepared for my first year of college. I am majoring in Psychology at McNeese State University in Louisiana and living on campus. I am very much enjoying the college experience, but my class work is so time-consuming. I have four roommates, and none of them ever have as much work as me. It's insane, but one day, it will all be worth it. I love campus life and I'm enjoying every minute of my time with the roomies. And it's FOOTBALL season!!! I'm so pumped. It seems strange to think about me being excited about football season. Three years ago, I had no idea what was going on. Now I wait all year for those Friday night lights. Well...technically it's Saturday night because college games are on Saturday, but it's the same feeling. I love it. My roommate went to her first ever football game with us yesterday and had a blast. She can't wait to go to another one. We won, so of course I was even more excited than when the game began. It was my first college game and it's a completely amazing feeling compared to high school. I can't wait for the next game. =D
My current obsession is A Very Potter Musical. It's totally awesome! I found out about this show some months back. Unfortunately, it was only days after they took down the entire show due to legal issues. Thankfully, they were able to work out the issues and repost, but by then I had forgotten about the show since I didn't know how incredible it was at the time. I found it again about a week ago and cannot stop quoting it. My enthusiasm for AVPM also brought me to love LWL, or Little White Lie, from the same creators. Some of the cast is the same and the music is just as amazing. AVPM is a fan-made Harry Potter parody musical and LWL is a web-series about a brother and sister in a band who are horrible. If you are at all interested in learning more, search for TeamStarKid on YouTube. You will not regret it, I guarantee it.
Well it's getting late and I have a lot of work to do before class on Tuesday. So I hope you enjoy the update. I'll try to post more often from now on, if I can. Night, world. Or morning. I don't know.
Love, peace and chicken grease! {{It's a Louisiana thing, sorry. Haha.}}
