College

So. It's been a hot minute. I'm not going to lie, my life has been way too hectic to even think about a blog. It's not that I don't like blogging, it's just a lot of things have changed. First and foremost, I'm in college now. That's crazy, I know. I've turned 18 and grown up and left the nest. That's funny because my college mascot is an eagle. Ah puns. But seriously, life has been insane this last month. So, I moved into college, but the very next day I got a call from my mama saying my Nini had passed away. It sucked. I went home immediately, however the funeral wasn't going to be until the following Thursday, so I went back to school to start my classes. I was so conflicted and I felt so guilty because on one hand, I was excited to have started college, but the grief I felt told me it was wrong to feel happy about college. It was rough, but that Thursday I went back home for the funeral, and I spent the weekend with my family. I came back to school with full intentions of not going back home until September 15th for marching band alumni night, however I went home again the following weekend. I wasn't planning on going back, but literally all of my friends went back to their homes, so I went home as well. Again, I came back that Monday and went to all my classes, and I finally spent a weekend at school. It was great to just hang out with my friends and not have to worry homework and studying. The next weekend I went home again for alumni night, and when I came back that Saturday, I brought a friend back with me. My roommate, and one of my best friends in this entire world, and I housed one of our friends who tried out for our residential independent winterguard. We had a ton of fun and it was cool to just hang out with old friends again.

That catches us up to now. As of this moment, I just finished all my French homework for this section, and I'm sitting at my desk in bright blue lipstick, just because I can. I'll probably be going to take a shower in about a half-hour, or maybe I'll call my mama. I don't know yet.


College has definitely been an adjustment, but so far I'm loving it.
