i'm pretty drunk right now, but i feel the urge to reflect.
so my first year of college is over. it was quite a rough, yet interesting one. my city was destroyed within the first week of my moving to BR, i unexpectedly fell in love, learned what it was like to actually work for my grades, and became waaay more independent.
I can't believe i was kind of sad leaving herget today. i really thought leaving that place would be one of the best days of my life, but i remembered that i wouldn't be seeing all the people i've met there everyday and i realized how much i took that for granted. i won't miss ALL the fire drills or finding poo in the shower, but i really will miss those people.
Since going to college, i think i've become WAY more of who i want to be rather than what everyone around me wants me to be. I feel like i've grown so much within the past 8 months or so. going away to lsu was one of the best decisions i've ever made and i don't regret it one bit. sometimes i think i'm too dumb to go there, but i make it and i try my hardest. I really can't believe this year is over, but i'm ready for bigger and better things.
i know it isn't that cool anymore, but i get to move into my first apartment the day before my birthday and i'm pumped. granted, i will be poor, but it will be worth it. mmm.
as far as stephen goes, i can't even explain how lucky i feel. really, i can't believe i've got this one and he loves me back. I don't feel like this is real life because it's just too good to be true. so far i've spent the best 6 and 1/2 months of my life with him and being 70 miles apart from my best friend for the summer will be hard, but worth it in the end.
i have no idea how i'm going to survive living at home for the next 3 months with my family. they are already driving me completely insane. i'm going to hate this living situation. i think Baton Rouge will be my escape.
over and out. thank you jaeger. happy mother's day.
