Holy shit
This summer has been an absolute blur. Relaxing, nonetheless, but still fast paced at times. I can't believe I move into my dorm in less than 7 days. I'm so ready to get out of here and move, but its still surreal. It's ridiculous how much I am looking forward to school. Even when I was looking through required courses and stuff I have to take today, it made me excited. The thought of having hundreds of people my age living literally in a 100 foot radius of me is so fun. Being able to eat, read, sleep, go out, and study according to whenever I feel like it is beyond empowering. It's so strange going somewhere and essentially "starting over" in terms of making new friends and relationships. Not to say I won't continue the ones I have, but I have to foster the ones with people I'll be in close vicinity with everyday. I hope college changes me, and sometimes I hope it won't change me a bit. The past few months I've really given myself a makeover (physically and emotionally) and it couldn't have happened at a better time. As long as I come back with my same morals and ideals and don't surround myself with awful people, then I'll have done my job. I just want to have a fulfilled college experience, instead of those flaky tales you hear of people coming back home not caring about class and being the beer pong champions of their fraternity or whatever. Not that I won't be partying, I think it's pretty essential to let loose whenever it doesn't conflict with academics. Blah, I'm not really sure where this post is going. Maybe its just as reassurance to myself that I'm going to make it and be alright the next 4 years. Anyways, for those of you that I was friendly with in school and like me back, keep in touch! And you guys are welcome to come visit me whenever, I have a comfy futon!
