The first week
saying goodbye to everyone was so upsetting, i cried a lot, especially with kellie and michelle. Then when me and my parents left for school i cried saying goodbye to cats and my house...I love my home, its the only one ive ever known and although its not very big or luxurious i've always thought of it as a palace. So we are driving down the Jersey turnpike and it divides into 2 diff set of lanes...one for Trucks and Buses, and one for cars...so after following my parents for an hour, doing 55 on a highway, i decide im going to take the car lanes and venture off the rest of the way on my own. BIG MISTAKE...lol i didnt get off the right place and ended up in the chinese part of Queens where NO ONE spoke english. Finally i found someone who could direct me to Hofstra and when he was done he said "Get home safely!"....i was like "No, im not going hom....I KINDA am!" This place is my new home and it was so weird but I guess I gotta get used to it. I just can't believe we were moving me in this time, and not one of my sisters.
This past week was a crazy rollercoaster, somedays were rad, and some i felt the loneliest I've ever been. The first night I got here, I was literally depressed and certain events which have happened made me feel like everything was slipping through my fingers. Just 2 nights ago, the tears were rolling down my face...I guess I just miss everything, my friends, home, summer, and my pop-pop. I finally realized that just because everything is different doesnt mean anything has changed. The people I love are going to be in my life for a LONG time. And I believe whole heartedly that my Pop-Pop will guide me through the darkness. Not all is bad, i've met some GREAT people, I got my Shaun here, and my roommate cracks me up. Also, the abundance of girls at this school always makes me happy so although I'm still not fully the Brandon we all know...its all getting better by the minute. I was walking through the campus one night...and I was looking around...and I just started smiling, kinda like i do sometimes. I had an epiphany of sorts...This is where I wanted to be...so even if I'm lonely or sad or wutever...it was my choice to be lol and i dunno it sounds weird, but its my life and I'm calling all the shots...so as the ruler of all that is Brandon, I've decided to have a kick ass year.
Most of the time we go to the bars, because you only have to be 18 to get in and then they don't card you to buy drinks, its so kickass. The frat parties here kinda suck, they usually run outta alcohol or the cops shut em down before midnight. Everynight I go out I order a long island ice tea in tribute of where I am, then of course I drink my beer. (I LOVE U WILS!). Me and my roomie have prolly the best room ever, haha jealous? Everyone is always telling us how nice it is, especially for guys. We watch mean girls like 24/7, sucha funny movie.
I can't wait for all my friends to visit me! I love you all!
