I finally broke down and decided to have a real blog. Not one of those things just thrown together on Facebook or Myspace, but a real blog. Something to just pour myself into sometimes and something for thoughts, questions, answers and everything in between and around all of it.
Since last August I've learned a lot of things that kind of convinced me that a blog might be a good idea.
You see, I started college. That alone is a lesson in and of itself.
College seems to present you with opportunities to expand your opinions and form new ones about things you never imagined having an opinion about. It also gives you the chance to change your opinion...something that seems to have happened more times than I count in the past nine months.
Then there's that undisputed fact that college provides you with the chance to start your on life. For the first time, you're truly out on your own and it's your world to take as you please. It's your chance to run and live your own life. It's your chance to make the mistakes that are going to provide you with the foundation of the rest of your life.
And believe me, when it comes to mistakes, I've made plenty this year.
Guinea pig math class, third year History for majors and second year British Literature in the same semester, going too hard for too many things, letting my boyfriend use my meal card for lunch one too many times (lol)...Well, I guess that wasn't so much a mistake as it was a realization that the normal meal plan is enough for two people to eat for an entire semester---minus exam week.
Anyways, you get the idea. College has been a wake up call for me. It's been kind of that alarm I needed to go off so that I could realize that I have my own life.
I've kind of learned that only I can really make this work, so I have to do it my way. Sure, I'll take some advice, but I'm not taking orders on how to live.
Right now,
I'm just going in slow motion so I don't need to press rewind and hoping that fast-forward is never needed.
