First Day of School! Wake up, wake up!

Today was my first day of college, and man was it exciting. I actually saw a bunch of familiar faces, one of them being a good friend of mine from elementary school!

My english teacher is honestly the cutest thing of my life. She's super hyper and excited to meet everyone; you can tell she loves her job. My psych teacher was pretty chill too. Total goof ball with a really interesting take on beliefs.

I think what made today so exciting was meeting with a few girls from Phi Mu. I literally stood at their recruitment table for a good hour talking to them about their sorority and rushing. They were super sweet and now I can't wait until rush.  I'm definitely going to be looking into their sorority a lot more.

To end my exciting day, I went out to get froyo with the lovely Katie Wolf. I swear I could never get tired of talking to that girl. We literally sat at Menchies for a good three hours just talking and obsessing over college.

All in all, I'd say my first day of college was really successful and fun. I can't wait until tomorrow!

Life Goes On

Well, it's here, the ending to another wild and crazy summer. This summer, however, was very different from the others. This summer, I turned 18, I said goodbye to some people and see you later to others. Tomorrow I will embark on my new adventure. I will meet new people, attend a new school, absorb new knowledge, and develop a new "normal."

What is that word? Normal. My normal has changed big time this summer. I lost two pets that I loved. I lost a friendship. And even worse, I lost high school. I lost all of the familiar faces I was so used to seeing every day. I lost waking up every morning and getting to school at zero period to get a parking spot and sitting in the car laughing and talking with Sidnie. I lost walking down the hallway to my locker and seeing the notorious group of Elco baseball players huddled next to their lockers and saying "hi" to me as I pass by. I lost my favorite corner in the back of crazy Mrs. Greene's class where Phoebe, Maddie, Katie, Tanny, Brianna, and I would sit and talk about how much we hated the class. I lost an amazing group of friends that I connected with through music and who shared their passion of music with our voices as one.

It sucks not knowing what my new "normal" is going to be. It sucks not knowing who I'm going to kill time with now that most of my core group of friends are away at college. But I guess I've got to take it day by day and figure out what's next. Robert Frost said it best: "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”

Two More Days...

Just two more days of being invisible. Just two more days of ignoring everything and everyone. Two more days of not caring and everything going the way I want it. Two more glorious, perfect days. Then, it’s back to the hell hole. I’ve honestly come to hate high school and everyone in it this last semester. No one is who they say they are. No one is who you think they are. People surprise you, and it’s not for the better. I’ve become sick to my stomach with liars and cheaters and fakes, and I’ve had enough. Thank goodness I only have to face these people for only six more months. Only six more months and then, I’ll never have to see them again. I don’t know if I’ll be able to even last the six months. Something is bound to happen, and knowing me, its not going to be anything good. Like I’ve said, I might not be able to hit you, but I can still pull your hair down to the ground and make you eat dirt.
