Winter Break: Update

     Hey there! I know it has been a pretty long time since I wrote a post of substantial length, so sorry about that! I am back, so hi again to those of you who may still be following my blog or welcome to anyone who happens to stumble across this post. I think the last time I really left things off were me finally becoming adjusted to college life and accepting the changes that come with growing up. Looking back on those posts, it makes me do two things. One: Laugh at how dramatic I was. Two: Appreciate what I have now and reflect on all that has happened in the past months. So much has changed. I will definitely go into detail later or write about any topics you guys want! Even though I am still figuring things out and coming across new challenges every day, I think I have made a lot of progress and already grown as a person. It is true...you definitely don't know who you are until you start "growing up." Now, I don't mean that in the boring, mature kind of growing up. Personally, I know I will always be a kid at heart. However, in my short but filled few months at college, I have come to realize what growing up means. To me, grown up means putting yourself first and doing things that will make you happy. I know this sounds selfish and weird. We've always been taught that being mature and an adult means to put others before ourselves. However, through experience I have found that putting yourself first is always necessary. We need to do what we need to do for ourselves. Because if we are not happy and content, then no one else around us will be.
     Sorry, this post has been kind of here and there. I just wanted to make a quick post to get a bunch of my thoughts out of my head. I'm back home now and am looking forward to winding down and spending time with the people I love. Oh, and for more adventures... ;)

That's all, for now.

Quick Update: College

Hey there! Sorry for the lack of posts recently. As you may know from my previous posts, I left for college this last Wednesday. I have to admit, the first day was rough. Yes, there were tears. There were also feelings of loneliness. Not to mention the physical pain in the pit of my stomach whenever I thought of home, my family and my friends. It was harder for me than I thought it would be, to be honest. It has been about four days so far. Things aren't 100% comfortable and normal. However, things have improved immensely. My biggest fear was to not find real connections in friendships. Friends are a huge part of what makes me happy, so they are very important to me. My bed in my dorm is slowly feeling like my little safe place. Some of my friends here are beginning to feel like my friendships back home. The dining hall is beginning to feel like my own kitchen. As I said before, the only remedy to dealing with change is time. First day of classes tomorrow, wish me good luck!

That's all for now.

Update

Hi to anyone who may be reading this! If someone out there actually does read my posts, I am sorry for not posting recently. Truthfully, I am a bit disappointed in myself because when I started this blog, I was so inspired and motivated to write and post. Lately, along with being busy with other things, I haven't been feeling very inspired and frankly did not know what to write about. However, today I remembered that I made this blog because I like to write, even if it is just for myself to read. So, today's post doesn't necessarily have a topic. It's just me letting out my need to write. So here is a little update on my life, if anyone cares to know. :)

1. I have been unable to watch "One Tree Hill" because I have been busy and unable to cope with the major plot change from season 4 to season 5. How can television shows, which are NOT real, affect people so deeply!? I feel pathetic for being so invested in the show, but I can't help it at the same time! Any advice?

2. It started hailing a few minutes ago and I loved it. There's something about "gloomy" weather that makes me feel at peace, happy and safe. Is that weird?

3. I know I should clean my room, but I can't. Maybe I'm lazy or maybe I really am too busy. Having a clean room makes me feel so much more organized mentally.

4. I have been loving the acoustic guitar station on Pandora. Anyone else?

5. I have to choose what college I want to go to and I am SO confused, worried, excited, anxious and terrified! HELP!

That's all for now.
