I'm 18 in one of the best cities in the world. Beat that.
Second semester is SO much better than the first. I love having breakfast with the same people I have dinner with and do nothing with and do stupid things with. It's one thing when you have friends that you like to do things with, but it's another when you can sit around and do absolutely nothing with your friends with no pressure to find entertainment. It makes things feel kind of like family.
I'm excited that Laurel's going to be rooming with me and Rimma next year! It's going to be apartment style, so much better for visitors! ;) We'll probably end up rooming on Columbus Ave on the other side of campus in the almost-Roxbury area.
I'm going home tomorrow for the 3-day weekend. I haven't been home in a few weeks, so Mum and Dad have been slightly antsy (sp?) asking me if I'm going home and all that jazz. I really hate being so pressured to go home.. wouldn't you think they'd want me to be so happy at school that I want to stay for the weekend? Eh, I don't know.
I've decided that college is fantastic. Anyone who says that school just isn't cut out for them doesn't understand that college is the late-adolescent's utopia. Think about it.. we have everything we need, some things we don't, get to have all the independence we want, for the small price of attending class a couple hours a day. Classes that we got to choose. I don't know.. but it seems like people who don't like school just haven't quite figured out how easy it is. Sure, it's stressful at times, but that's okay. Everything is stressful at times.
All you guys who knew me in high school knew that I was rather odd, but you know.. I realized that I was so caught up with doing well academically that I forgot to be a kid. Like a real, stupid, irrational kid. Now I'm not talking going out and getting arrested or getting high just to "experiment" or to be all moody and emo and rebellious.. because I think those things are truly a waste of time. I mean that I never got the chance in high school to do really stupid spontaneous things. Fun things. Things I hadn't done before.
I'm only going to be this age once, and I don't want to waste it stressing out too much or getting drunk too much or worrying about useless things too much. People who can't get through a weekend without drinking don't understand that they're throwing some of the best years of their lives away to blackouts.
I only had one class today and now I'm freeee! Such an awesome day. It's FREEZING out though. Watch out and bundle up!
Oh, and I found it cute that many new relationships popped up on facebook after the holiday yesterday :)
