COLLEGE...is freakin sweet
we moved my sister into college today! how wild and crazy is that?! so yeah i have some comments about this...today was just so weird. i was like so insanely jealous of my sister. like i wished it was me moving in to my freshman dorm and meeting my roommate for the first time and wandering around, meeting new people and just starting my 4 yrs at college. is that weird? i guess not, i guess it makes alot of sense. i think college is just flying by so fast that i cant believe i only have 2 yrs left. and now that i realize how crazy that is, i really really want to make the best of it. i want to meet even more new people and have lots of fun and do new things and just get to know everyone! like when i was there with her, i had this urge to go meet everyone, like it was my first day and my school, and not hers. it was so fun exploring a new dorm and a new campus and imagining living there, except i'm not going to be! its almost like i was excited to start somewhere new and compared to that, i'm going back to the same old place. but thats not really how i feel. i love fairfield. i love everyone there. and i cant wait to get involved in new stuff and meet even more new people there. i just thought everything about colgate was so cool and college-y, but i guess its just cool in different ways than fairfield. maybe i'm just jealous of her meeting new people and having new experiences without me, and like knowing people and places i dont know. maybe this is what it feels like to be a younger sibling? but really i think i was just jealous that she's just starting and i'm already halfway done. and also because i know how much i loved fairfield once i got there and moved in and started meeting people and forming my own circle of friends. its weird because when you're the one moving in, you're nervous as hell and so unsure of how things are going to turn out. but now me looking back on my experiences freshman yr i think i'm just excited for her because hopefully her experience will turn out the same way mine did. i realized today that college has definitely been the best part of my life. not to put down any other parts lol, cuz they werent all that bad either. but college has been by far the best and i'm just a little sad i guess that its going by quickly and once its over, you never have an experience like it again. same with moving in first day freshman yr...it never will happen to me again, and i think thats why i'm jealous/sad. its such a once-in-a-lifetime day with once-in-a-lifetime feelings and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and i'm just realizing now how sad i am that its over and will never happen again. i think the word for that is nostalgia? maybe. but yeah...to all you college freshmen out there (and the number of you who will actually read this is probably zero, 1 or 2 tops) enjoy every minute of college from day one because when you get to this point that i'm at, and beyond, i'm sure you'll miss it as well. so yeah, thats my wisdom for the night lol. this seriously is the weirdest stuff ever. i cant believe my sister's at college like 4 or 5 hrs away. i really am jealous. now i really cant wait to move in. and to meet as many new people as possible. i am so going to make the best out of every minute i have left at school, and thats a promise!
