it’s here, and it’s great.
For a moment, I found myself reminiscing again. Just thinking about the past, visiting old websites and forums I used to go to and reading my old posts, looking people up on facebook to see where they’re going and what they’ve done, etc. I tend to do this a lot.
There’s plenty I miss from the past. People that I no longer keep in touch with; memories I wish I could relive since those times were so fun; and altogether the warm, fuzzy feeling that goes hand in hand with nostalgia. One post I came across from my CTF account went along the lines of ‘What do you miss most about being little?’, to which some replies included:
- Getting pokemon cards as allowance
- Biking through town and drinking honey straight from honeysuckles
- Going to batting cages with my brother and dad
- Eating oreos, all day, every day, and not caring a bit about the calories
- Putting mattresses on the floor in my sister’s room for a “sleepover”
- Lining my bed with stuffed animals
- Taking shortcuts through the woods
All of which are awesome, and will hopefully forever live on in my memories.
But damn. The present is pretty good right now.
It’s about my 2nd week in college now, and I love it so far. Granted, I do get bored quite often during the week since a lot of the time I don’t have anything to do (besides homework, but you know how that is). Hopefully this’ll change once clubs start up and stuff. But yeah. The weekends are stellar, and I’m finally getting a taste (literally) of what I felt like I’ve been missing out on for years. And at the same time, I’m sticking true to myself. What a sweet deal.
Meanwhile, the whole making friends thing hasn’t been so bad either. I’ve had some crazy nights with these crazy people, and while I’m still eager to meet some new faces, I’m happy with where I am now. It’s a hard thing to think about; just being content and not wanting more (hello Intro to Business). But that’s where I am.
And I love it here :3.
