When it rains and shines, its just a state of mind. can you hear me?
so....
its QUIET AS DEATH in willoughby 206A. but nevermind that!!!!!
yes, I am now at Pratt, residing in a rather large off-campus apartment. My room mate never showed, one of my suitemates is MIA so its basically just me and an exchange student from Japan. I've decided its time to buck up, grow up, and suck it up if I want to adjust to my new living situation here in Brooklyn. I can't always be running home to mom and dad everytime I feel a tingle of discomfort, awkwardness and/or lonliness. This is going to be my life now. I am 19 years old and this place will be my second home. I can't always be dodging the new and unfamiliar (the stuff one needs in order to adapt, in order to LIVE) in favor of the secure and familiar. I realize that yes, at certain points in time I may just want to high-tail it on foot through the Brooklyn streets back to Chatham just to hide under the covers of my bed but as my friends have told me, it just wouldn't be healthy. I'd garner nothing from it. I would simply be taking a step backwards and now that I am finally here, I will make my own way. Hey, even if I don't make any friends during Orientation at the very least, I'll be settling in here, getting to know the area a little better and making life easier for myself once classes start and I have no choice but to stay and attend to business. Here's to new beginnings.
