Dear world-
It's almost my third week into summer vacation and nothing exciting has happened. Last tuesday I started my Psych 121 class at College of Lake County, expecting it to be a breeze, and it's not. I'm in class from 9-1 tuesday-friday and then after i get home from the class I go straight to work until 5 or 5:30 so I can pay $60 to live in the dorms and eat shit food. When I say shit food, I mean it. I usually like the caf food, but now they have 4 selections of hot food at most. It's pitiful... And I bet you're thinking, well, that should make it easier for her to lose weight right? Wrong. I still eat it, and I'm buying shit out of the vending machines at CLC, which I NEVER do! (thankfully i haven't gone so low as to buy candy bars, or TGI Friday's Potato skins, but I came close to buying some Twizzlers!) God damn it my summer plans have been foiled already. Well, at least I can say that I'm working out more than I ever was this school year. I ran stairs (the ones by the lake) a few days ago and i can barely flex my shin muscle, which I didn't even know I had. And I found that my future roommate had an ab-slide under the bed, so i've been using that, and right now it hurts to laugh... BUT THE PAIN WILL BE WORTH IT DAMN IT.
Anyhow, like I was saying, nothing exciting has happened to me this summer. Today, in Psych, our professor asked me within the past couple of years, what was your most memorable experience? And sadly, I couldn't think of anything. I mean of course, coming to college and meeting all these new amazing people popped into my mind, but doesn't almost everyone go through that? What makes it unique just because it happened to me? The answer is simple, it doesn't. I'm not saying that memorable experiences have to be something unique, that happens only to you and you alone, but I do think that they have to be uncommon and not often. And by those standards, I've led a pretty boring life so far. I know that I'm the only one that can change that, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. Or when to start. I don't want to end up like one of those people in life that never did anything they weren't supposed to do or were too afraid to do, just because they were scared of the repercussions. I don't want to regret anything in my life.
That is all....
