Lists are really nice right now, here you go.
ISU:
-is wonderful
-ended with a 2.81, not too happy about that but thats above requirements for my major, so thats nice
-got the special education tuition waiver which means i dont pay for college unless i dont teach for 5 years after so that helped so much
-made 2 amazing friends, abbie and alli, who i think ill be friends with for life. all of us balance eachother out and its so weird.
-ive met so many new people and ive been so much more outgoing, its so nice.
-i got caught drinking by the cops and brought to the hospital. went to an alcohol class which really opened my eyes. i went in there thinking it was a joke but walked out with so many goals, which i have been following. i had to admit it, but before, drinking and driving was no big thing. i was an idiot and i really needed that class to realize it. when i got caught by the cops i was puking but i wasnt as bad as some of the times i got behind the wheel and drove. i know i know, everyone reading this, if anyone still does, will reem me out for it, but i swear i learned. if i go out, i have one or two beers right when i get there, and dont leave for a few hours after. or i sleep there. and now even when i know i dont have to drive i either have a few or none at all. (ps, i did not get a dui; i was walking when the cops saw me)
-i realized someone i thought was a best friend is really a fucking bitch. so that was nice.
-i feel like i've matured so much, and i know this sounds cliche, but i really feel changed by college.
-i am so happy with my life right now.
Family:
-ever since i left for school my parents and i began to get so much closer. i call them twice a day, still. i know im still a 'parents' girl, but i dont care. i love them so much.
-i worry about my brother so much. he's had a run in with drugs more than once, and he just has no control. he scares the fuck out of me. he hasnt found anyone solid to be with or be friends with because they've usually been druggies and people into hard drugs arent usually the best of people.
-christmas was, i think, one of the best. it was low budget, but i think everyone was just so happy to be all together. i really love my family.
-today, christmas, my mom was reading this card she got outloud from my dad. if anyone knows my dad, he doesnt look like a romantic softy, but this card was beautiful. and when she was reading it he had tears in his eyes. it was like the love that filled the room was rediculous. and sometimes i wondered, just if theyre still in love or if theyre gonna last or what. so it was just amazing to see that :)
Friends:
-its so nice coming home after not seeing them for months and things are completely normal. i love it so much :)
happy to be home but im missin school!
