I was looking back on a few posts and I realized that I am in college, but I don't blog about... being in college. Isn't that strange...?
Well kiddos, let me tell you about college. College is FUN! You can seriously do whatever you want to do. I'm serious! And, if it's illegal, they cut you some slack because college kids are supposed to do dumb things. But I'm not really talking about illegal things, I'm talking about you can stay out as late as you want, eat as much junk food, sleep, skip class, watch movies, not clean your room AS MUCH AS YOU WANT! Because your mom can't tell you not to. (Guys, I'm actually a really good college student and I'm very independent so I promise, I get enough sleep, clean my room and go to class but the point is, you CAN do whatever you want.) what else is cool about college?
Oh! You meet lots of cool people. That's good...
And the actual learning is fun! The trick is to take classes that you are actually interested in and then if you hate them... then you know that not what you want to go into!
For me I got to learn how to live with 7 girls. That's been interesting... haha but fun!
But before you get your hopes up and think it's the greatest ever, let me tell you, it can get pretty boring too. It's kinda a lot like high school only you have to walk really far to get to class. AND, you don't really have that solid group of friends that you did in high school (well I'm talking about myself... it could be the opposite for lots of people) Plus no Mommy (the worst) So... here's how it goes.
Get up, eat breakfast (that I cook for MYSELF, my mom used to do this for me...)
Walk 80 miles to class. (it's not 80 miles.)
come home
gym
shower
go to class
come home
go to class
do homework
clean room
laundry (BY MYSELF)
try to find some peeps to hang out with.
watch a movie with roomies
think about my cute little family
go to bed
Isn't that super exciting!??
Now you see why I blog more about life at home; way more fun.
But college really is a fun time of life. Right now, literally anything could happen. I mean, I have a tentative plan for my life... but it could change at any moment, how cool is that!?
Plus everything is all about ME at this point. It's sounds selfish... but really, I'm going to school to get MY education, taking whatever classes I want and doing what makes ME happy. (that didn't really work because the I is supposed to be capitalized anyway so you probably didn't put any emphasis on it when you read it... that's ok.)
Well now you know. And just so we're clear, everyone's college experience is totally different, in fact, next year my experience will probably be very different than it was this year. So to everyone who is still in high school, it's so fun! (just pray you don't get as homesick as I did) and to everyone that's in college/done with college, it's a good time, eh?
That was a super boring post. I'm not even going to read it. And I wrote it. Hopefully the grammar/spelling is as dreadful as always.
This is just the greatest, Grace. SO funny. Pretty accurate with my situation too! Only next year is going to be total bomb! Don't worry, I love the whole ME aspect too. The only thing that differs for me is our views on the whole my plan for life could change at any moment...totally FREAKS ME OUT!! Seriously, I can't think about it cuz I like my plan too much and it scares me how much it could actually change. Ugh. I'm such list/plan/know-a-schedule type person that it freaks me! Ah! Sorry, got a little carried away there. Anyway, love ya! and ps your grammar and spelling were just great. :)
