okay
im bored. theres not much to do around here at 5:30 and i cant seem to sleep good, so you know what that means...late night live journal! YEAH!
well so far this semester i've made more of an effort to get to know some of the girl's in my hall. first semester basically consisted of me hanging out with pam and ashley and the romeo gang for the most part. during the week id go to class and study and then hang out with lindsey in my spare time. thats real cool too because she has become one of my best friends. if i dont see her for a day i seriously miss her. and winter break sucked because with me working our schedules didnt work out for her to come visit :(. i got really lucky to have such awesome suitemates since rooming with evonne didnt seem to go as well as i would have liked. molly (my other suitemate) is a dairy farmer and proud of it! shes always up for drinking and a good time and shes always extremely bubbly and happy (shes even got avrille beat). laurel and ashley (my future roomies) are awesome too but they live on the exact opposite side of campus which means at least a 15 min bus ride or a 1/2 hr walk (screw that!). so i see them about once a week if that. now that the snow is here i've decided that traveling beyond the dorm is going to be a lot more limited but luckily it will give me the chance to get to know some more people around here. i hardly see my pammie anymore because no bus runs to her apartments and its so cold to walk. so i really only go there if i have a ride or need a place to crash (its a lot closer than walking back to hubbard!). pam by the way is awesome. shes my "bestest best friend". we just get along so well and always have so much fun together. plus, over the 3+ years that we've been friends i've never ever come close to being mad at her. we were just talking about it the other day actually, how we have never even gotten on each other's nerves. well except for maybe the day we played monopoly and everyone hated me because i was "making shady deals" aka WINNING! but yeah i <3 pam and will be sad when she moves to the house next year because as of now her apartment is really close (relative to the size of msu/east lansing). plus i'll be super sad when she graduates :(.
im really excited for next year. i think it will be so much fun to live with laurel and ashley. i can just really see myself being good friends with them, and they like to party a lot too which will be fun. the only drawback is that they are both tiny and beautiful so my self esteem might take a blow. also, cedar villiage will be awesome next year because the romeo girls got apartments upstairs, and the guys across the hall are rerenting theirs and they are super nice. oh, for anyone who doesnt know, i am living in the same apartment that pam has been living in for the past 2 years so it will be kinda wierd having it be MINE. the dorms are a cool experience and a good way to meet people but i'll definitly be looking forward to some more space next year. id have to say that overall i've enjoyed my msu experience so far. its definitely a wake up call from high school where you have grown up with everyone and have security and a sense of place. at college, with the exception of a few high school friends, you are basically thrown back to square one. and if you make the most of it, it can be the best 4 or 5 years of your life. i think for someone to not enjoy college, well msu at least, they simply arent trying enough. sure its easy to just hold on to the few highschool friendships you have and sit in your room all day on the computer or watching tv, but the reality of the situation is that you will probably just miss highschool more. college is all about change - growing up, moving away from familiarity, being independant, and taking advantage of the situation and meeting new people. i think that your freshman year is one of the most important years of your college experience. not only do you set the standard for you academic performance (good or bad start) but the dorms are where you build the frienships that will last for the next few years. after the dorms you most likely wont meet anywhere close to the amount of people you did while you were in them. think about it, when you're in an apartment you can't just walk down the hall and meet someone new, its really not like that at all. you might know the people across from you or next to you, but thats about it, its not really much of a community vibe. thats why its harder for people who transfer after their first year, they miss that whole chance to meet people and ususally dont have as many friends and dont enjoy themselves as much. so i guess the point of all of this is that it is really easy for me to just sit in my room and hang out with the same people but id really just be wasting a great opportunity.
wow i think i may have sobered up a little...
