College 101. Freshie Status. Get it.

Wow, has it been a while.

I miss blogging like no other. Though I look at other people's blog and I wish I could write as they do, I figure I do this more for me than I do for other people too look in on my life and try to pry.

I will say that college is one of the most life altering experiences. You're given so much freedom and independence at the same time and thrown into a whirlwind of situations, social expectations, and experimentation. We are expected to learn to fend for ourselves, fight our own battles, and start over while at the same time, keep up in classes, study ridiculous amounts, and read our professor's minds on the paper they want us to write.
Don't get me wrong, college is a time of living, learning, loving, partying, eating, and experimenting. I would say overall, it is a time of rebirth.

I miss those high school days though, surprisingly. Mom and Dad would cook for us, buy for us, fight for us, provide for us, and now we are thrown into doing it ourselves. It's a fantastic learning experience, just a difficult one to transition into.

I went back and looked through some old things that I still had around and discovered things I had long locked away for old time's sake. At the same time, I found myself yearning to back where I was at that point in my life.



I don't quite understand the purpose of this blog, except to say, I miss the old times.
