Have you ever spun in circles and then collapsed on your back and
stared at the sky?
That’s how college feels. It freeing and dizzying and sickening
(seriously. I got sick within the first week) and I can’t even begin to explain
everything that I am feeling.
It’s like right now. I’m curled up in a corner of the Underground
Coffeehouse, drinking a mocha, slowly dying inside because I can’t connect to
the internet. Yes, this post is a Word baby. I’m just bad with technology, and
leaving my room to do homework that’s so based off the internet is such a pain.
Yay college!
Advice for anyone going into college next year:
It’s hard, but you need to sleep, and eat well. I know of so many
people who are various forms of sick right now. The temptation to do both of
these things is so great. Like, the sheer amount of sandwiches I have consumed
should be banned. But it’s got hummus and extra lettuce on it and it’s on wheat
bread. So I don’t feel terrible with that. Also: DRINK WATER. The water in my
dorm room grows things, and it’s terrifying, and gross, and it makes me so sad,
and I have just ended up filling my water bottle up in the dining hall for
drinking water accessibility. Which is sad.
So, this last weekend was my first real weekend on campus. The amount
of give up that you get at the end of classes is the greatest. There was a
group of students that surrounded this section of sidewalk and cheered “It’s
Friday!” every time someone walked by. It just got increasing louder, and they
started cheering for buses and it just made me love college.
And my room is always full of people, our decorations lean on side of
ridiculous and half the time I can hardly keep up.
Uhm. What else? I miss my family. A lot. And Theo. Like, there isn’t
much I wouldn’t do to be with my family and cats. That’s the most difficult
part about college. You are thrust into adulthood so quickly, and it’s hard to
totally wrap your head around that. I’ve already mailed out two letters to my
family. I’m the most accomplished kid ever.
Also, you know how I was so totally pumped to take “Intro to Word
Religions?” That class is going to slowly kill me. The professor doesn’t make
eye contact, and he laughs at his own jokes, and I just can’t win. But I got to
meet two of my future professors today, so that was kind of fun.
College is good. Things are crazy, people are manic, and there are
things that I just will never understand. But that’s okay. Because you learn
from every moment.
Shout out to Kurtis who just saved my internet, and then hung out with me.
Such a pick me up J
Not a shout out to the people screaming all over creation outside the
door.
