i was talking to my friend who was a junior the other day about her boy problems and think i finally figured out why in a matter of a single semester you come back from college more adult than when you left. I think it has to do with that lose of innocence thing. Senior year in high school you might not be as innocent as you once were but something about the 13/14 year old freshman keep you younger and helps to perserve your innocence. you come to college and you no longer have that. your forced to mature and grow up and face the world and its problems head on. I miss high school and its innocence and the support system of it all. you dont realize what you had there until your gone. I love college, im finally finding my place here. I think im going to pledge to this sorority (it's not really my thing but i have alot of fun with these girls and hey why the hell not, why not try something different and out of the ordinary for yourselff), my classes are becoming more of a common everyday thing it no longer feels like summer camp with classes but it now feels like school Im enjoying working again and me and my roommates are getting along and hanging out for once. I'm happy even with that lose of innocence. maybe this is what it means to grow up... accepting your place in life and loving it for all its worth.
I come home in less than 2 weeks for presidents week. I cant wait for a week where i can chill with my family, meg, james and all of my college kiddies with out the pressure of needing to fit people in. Im feeling very optimistic. :-)
