Good Ridance 2011

I can safely say, for the most part, this year sucked. This year was really hard for me. I started off having to make pretty much the biggest decision of my life-where I would go to college, and money was kind of dictating that decision. I had really wanted to be a New York City girl, but since I didn't get in to Columbia, and I'm poor, i ended up in Fredonia. At the time it was not my ideal situation. I spent a lot of time fighting with my parents about college too. About how much I was talking to them, about how often I was coming home (which was minimal and the way I wanted it), how I was spending my time, how I never talked about studying, how only talked about my 'nerd' clubs. I had to get rid of some friends because they were toxic to my life. I fought with some really close friends and almost lost them. I've had my heart broken, and I have spent way too many nights up late, doubting myself in every way possible. I've wanted to change majors, worried about money, felt completely alone, felt overcrowded, and utterly lost. I really am totally ready for this year to be over.

That in mind, this year wasn't all bad. I ended up in probably the best posisble place for an Education major, as well as a giant nerd. I've made some fantastic new friends who I am so thankful for and absolutely love and miss terribly right now. I found out who really matters in my life, the people who have stuck by me, checked up on me when i posted angry stuff on facebook, bought me starbucks when I've had a bad day, sent a text just to say hi, showed up in Fredonia unexpectedly and those that lept me sane everytime I thought I was really about to lose it. I joined clubs where I fit in and made most of my friends and started playing Quidditch. And I moved out and started kind of living on my own.

A lot of things got me through, like my awesome suitemates who would do anything for me at the drop of a hat, my friends who always know what to say to snap  me out of it, Quidditch and Nerf, Harry Potter, my music, writing, and those nights where all I needed was to put on some nice clothes and strut around like I owned the place. I also have discovered my love for The expanded Star Wars universe and rekindled my love affair with the Sith. I have found myself, whenever I'm stressed, upset or at a loss reciting the creed. Peace is a lie, there is only Passion. Through Passion I gain Strength. Through Strength I gain Victory. Through Victory my chains are broken.

Next year. 2012. I don't know if the world is ready for me next year. They might need more time to prepare. Because I'm not taking any shit anymore from anymore. I'm out to kick ass, always. To take my life into my own hands. To take a chance. Fall in love with the wrong person. Live on the edge, break the rules (well, more rules) becuase if not now when? College is my time to discover the world and myself. So it's time to make some mistakes, take some chances and enjoy everything I can. I'm going to drink up every experience, every oppurtunity, and leave myself nothing to regret. 2012 will be my "no holds barred" year because if this world really ends next Decemeber, at least I'll have had some fun.

I Heart Sponteniety....Most of the Time

Today I spent the afternoon with my lovely friend Taylor. We had nothing actually planned, and we decided to just wing it, which started off as a really good idea. We went to the mall, looked at shirts and nerdy comic book/dr.who stuff we want to buy for when we dorm together next year and got some food to eat and we were having a grand time. But we were running out of things to do at the mall and trying to figure out what else we could do. Some genius decided it would be a great idea to go up to Niagra Falls.

Quick side note: here in Western New York the weather has actually been half way decent so far this winter. It's been a bit rainy, but not as cold as usual and no signifigant snow yet this year. I was like fifty degrees and sunny here on Christmas (three days ago).

Well, appearantly, winter decided to show up today. The wind was freezing, snow was flurry-ing and it was a very breif visit to the falls themselves cuz it was just too damn cold, as pretty as it was. So we decided to head to the Hard Rock Cafe to get something to warm up.

We got the brownie sundae.

I never said it was the greatest idea I've ever had. But it was still fun :) So, as much as I love just going and doing things without any planning, next time Taylor and I are going to plan better. Like scarfs, and underarmor, and knee socks, and WARM clothes so we can enjoy the beauty in our back yard, and take pictures and maybe make a video for my vlog!

One more quick thing!!

Back In Business

Soooo, I got quite sidetracked last semester and stopped posting and its been driving me crazy. But I'm back! And I should have/make plenty of time for this now because I want to.

My Christmas (and birthday) were lovely. I got lots of new clothes, the new Evanescence and We Camr As Romans cds, a new nerf gun and enough ammo for a small army. It will be getting modded shortly.

Being home is kind of driving me CRAZY though. I' not used to being in the house all day, not being able to have all kinds  of people around all the time, not having Starbuck, or Comic Culture Forum, or shooting people (no Nerfing in the house) and not walking every time I want to eat. I have all kinds of pent up energy, and a little bit of pent up aggression. I miss wearing clothes other than pjs and work clothes. Needless to say I can't wait to be back on campus. 25 more days.
