(no subject)
So life has been going pretty good lately. I'm home for a little less than a week (Sunday) and then it's back to Main south to chill with my fellow Clarkies.
My break has been going pretty good. Over the four weeks I will have worked 160 hours (or 4 weeks of 40 hours each), 120 of which were on overnights. So I will be pretty messed up when I get back to school because for the past three weeks I've been sleeping from like 7 am til 2 pm. I have not seen daylight in a long time now.
After completing my first semester of college I have realized a few things:
1. That college is so much better than high school.
2. In college you will make new friends and better friends in college faster than you think.
I've been hanging on to every moment like it was my last because even though I know life is short and that I have many years to live, you never know when it will end.
I always start these entries with the hopes of creating such a grand entry for people to be shocked by, but yet in the end they turn out to be nothing more than crappy things that mean nothing to anyone but me. I guess it may be because I have realized that LJ is a silent way for people to talk to themselves.
I recently went back and looked through stuff that I held onto throughout the years. I realize now that who I was then and who I am now are so different yet so similar. The person I was when I saved that stuff (which would mean nothing to anyone but me...again...) has everything to do with the person that sits here now writing this out. Even though I know that I have only been through one semester of college and have (at least) seven more to go, I feel that the person I was 365 days ago is much different than the person I am now. I like the person that I have become because it is someone that I can look into the mirror and be happy with what I see.
"To see you when I wake up,
Is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do,
Is a three-fold utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can't explain,
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you?"
