Livin' it up.

College is weird at times. Most of the time I love it but sometimes I'm not a huge fan. #1 dislike: being by myself. I hate being by myself, but I'm pretty sure I've done it more this week than I have my entire life! It's not awful, just weird. Weird: that pretty much sums up my life right now. I'm going through such a huge change (one that I didn't realize would be so impacting) and I'm still trying to figure out how to balance it all. I'm doing much better and less homesick than I was earlier this week and I'm really learning how to be independent. I'm having a hard time making friends. I'm meeting so many people and I see them like once (?) and then I never see them again. So, it's a little difficult to keep friends. And the weirdest thing, I can't remember half the people's names that I'm meeting! It's getting quite frustrating. Normally I'm super good with names and people--like on the verge of creeper status-- but I can't remember anybody for the life of me! I recognize them but a name does not come to mind. Hopefully, I will get better and make some good friends. Today I had to buy more books and my wallet is kind of hurting right now. College is sooo expensive! I swear, they think we're made of money or something! Well, that about it for my lovely college experience, but I would like to end on a good note so...

What I love most about college:

I get to choose when my classes are and what I take.

I get to sleep in MWF.

The bus is the cool thing to do.

I joined the HURD! (super excited about this one!)

There is always something going on.

Everyone is so nice and helpful.

Cute boys :)

Wonderful roomies.

Living on the 4th floor. (it's kind of a killer but I think it's a blessing in disguise.

I get to eat right out of the ice cream carton!

Awesome professors.
