I haven't updated this in a while.
That is because I've been taking advantage of this summer!
I've done soccer games, kickball games, ultimate frisbee games, zoo, laser tag, movies, tubing, clubbing, 6 days up north with some great friends, take walks, read books, mall, free concerts, millions of grad parties, chilling in birmingham and ann arbor with people, going to lots of parks, late night ddr/itg with mark, learned how to play Euchre, sleepovers, getting Denny's at 3 AM, getting McDonald's at 3 AM, 4 encounters with the police (for being in parks after closing hours) and then not getting in trouble for it (2 of them were from the same night! ftw), watched fireworks with friends, attempted to learn the Wii-mote, delivered newspapers that weren't mine, sold a postcard for $0.99 on eBay with my mom, and I'm about to attend a massive road rally and go to Saugatuck on the 8th-10th with my family.
Good use of time? I think so.
ATTENTION FRIENDS! Let's keep on using these last 3 weeks of summer to the fullest. Call me if we haven't spent enough time together! Or text! My phone actually works now, hehe.
While some people are going in circles and saying "I'm not sure about college... ehh..." I'm SO PUMPED to take this next step in my life!! Don't get me wrong, I live by the "make new friends but keep the old" song, but I really won't mind leaving everything behind until breaks and next summer. I mean hell, most of my friends will be at State anyways, lol. As for the ones who aren't, we'll keep in touch, no worries.
In 3 days I find out who my roommate is, and I'll be able to go shopping for things for my dorm.
Learned a lot this summer, too. Friendships are more fragile than I thought, but I know that in the end, I'll always have the friends who really matter right by my side (figuratively). I learned ahead of time that people do and will change based on what new and exciting things they find, and it's only a bad thing if you make it that way.
From now on, I'll accept the change. Ideally, I'd like all my friends to know that they can come to me --new self, old self, mixed-up self, whatever-- and we can just forget everything and pick up right where we left off. It's all about having a good time and not feeling pressured and just being yourself anyways. I'm so thankful I learned this ahead of time, and not when I was away at college. Being mad at best friends who live across the state would've been such a big mess. So! No drama, momma! Let's just have ourselves a good ol' time.
:) Good night... err... morning, everyone.
Oh yeah, and don't go into chatrooms past 2 AM. People are creepy.
