i want to stay here with my dogs, in my bed, and wake up to the sound of my family. college, you can suck it. let me stay home. who needs school, right?
don’t make me go back to San Francisco
When you’re in high school, anything is better than where you’re from. When you’re in college, home is the one place you can always count on.
it hasn’t really sunk in yet.
you know, the fact that i’m in college, doing collegey things in the big city, all on my own. right now, i just feel like i’m at some weird camp and everything is temporary. i’m happy and i love where i’m at right now, but every part of me wants my same old routine with the familiar faces. i guess i’m still adjusting to all this new that has just flooded my life.
preparing for my first day of college the way i prepare for everything; staying up way to late and drinking mass amounts of chocolate milk.
keep me in your thoughts tomorrow, as I am already starting to feel the anxiety.
things I need to learn how do on own before I leave for college
- live on a budget (for obvious reasons)
- trim my own bangs (because they grow really fast and it would be so much easier if I could just do it.)
- color my hair from a box (because I’ll be broke and won’t be able get it done often and my mom won’t be near me to do it for my anymore, waahh)
- feel confident about my outfits without my mom reassuring me (because obviously my mom won’t be there)
- how to read a bus schedule and basically everything about public transportation (because sadly, I’ll be car-less)
- make coffee (because I honestly just buy it all the time, and I need to break that habit because, again, I’ll be broke.)
- fix all my own problems that occur with technology, i.e computer crashing, phone breaking etc. (because my dad can no longer do it for me)
- how to friends (because I’m socially awkward)
- make all my meals from a microwave (self-explanatory)
- survive without my friends (this might be the hardest of them all)
basically, if i can do all this, I think i might just make it.
just applied for on campus housing…
send some happy thoughts my way that I at least get wait-listed.
today was my last day at the beach here in Newport. this week has made me want to live down here more than anything. although i’m quite confident that i’ll enjoy my soon to be new home in San Fransisco, nothing can compare to these beaches here in SoCal. who knows, maybe my college life won’t be what i expect and i’ll find myself right back here. either way, i know i’ll be content.
