Life (without being) on the A-list!

You really don't have to be "on the list".

It's funny, like the stuff of movies. One friend manages to get into a party with a guy, and then gets the rest of her friends in...it works for us!

Frat parties with bouncers and guest lists...it's hysterical.

I've never danced so much in my life! I've never been one to dance.

I'll have to learn not to care that I didn't know any of the guys I danced with, or that they were drunk, or that they never actually asked to dance.

I can choose between the nice guys and the fraternity boys.

I haven't made up my mind yet, maybe some more exploring will do.

But in the meantime, i have a slightly uneasy feeling about rejecting nice guys because "they aren't my type." 

I might rush in the spring. Some people have suggested it. I never have thought of myself as the sorority type...I just hope I don't lose myself to this shit.

New. Old. An Attempt at Balance.

These days have been hectic!

Best friends going away to college, me staring college, making new friends, going out. Doing the typical "college thing". I'm loving it. I love my classes and the people I've met. My room mate is awesome. But I feel like I have to work on balancing my life. 

My old friends are much harder to keep up with compared to people who live on my floor, in my building, and take the same classes as I do.

I've never been good at this balancing act, I don't want to lose anyone. I'm afraid I will. I'm terrified, actually.

Coincidence?

I haven't seen 11:34 since I moved into my dorm.

Not once.

And I've been in my room for about half of them, at least.

So...a sign? 

I think so.

:)

Numb.

In a good way, I suppose.

I feel like everything that is happening is so natural and right.

My dorm, my best friends, my new friends, my school, my whole life...

it's all falling into order.

We all know that I love order, being as OCD as I am. 

I feel like I couldn't be in a more perfect place at this time, and it is taking me where I want to go and helping me to become who I want to be. 

It's crazy.

It's weird.

It's not nearly as overwhelming as I thought it would be.

Classes start Monday. 

Maybe that will open my eyes, maybe it will be just another rung on my ladder.

A New Life!

No, not a baby-sort of new life. Though my aunt did have her first kid about to weeks ago, and the girl is beautiful. 

I'm talking about the starting-new sort of new life. I thought the changes were coming within time, at a steady pace, but these changes have much more of an avalanche feel to them.

I love it.

I'm in my new dorm! Only about 4 twisty turny miles from my home, which is weird. Most people ask my why I don't commute. And of course I say I needed to cut the cord, make it myself (mostly, anyways), and get some space! Which I have.

My friends have already come to check out the dorm. Claire is leaving today for her college which is a few hours away. I'll miss her and her ever-positive attitude. 

This week is hectic - I have no idea how to reserve my books, I have to wait to change one of my classes and it's killing me, and I start on Monday! 

I'm going shopping today with my room mate - who is all the way from Durban, South Africa - and her mother. Should be interesting! 

"The List"

Also known as "the reason I will never be bored with my life and never run out of things to do until the day I die."

I thought that title was a bit long. Anyways. Here are some of my major life goals:

1. Become a world-famous photographer.
2. Travel to every continent, maybe even Antarctica.
3. Live in at least three countries.
4. Become a photographer for Suicide Girls (maybe even become one eventually)
5. Buy a ranch for my parents, they deserve it.
6. Donate to or start a foundation for animal rights/SPCA/etc.
7. Adopt at least one child, even if I have my own.
8. Live my life without lying to myself.
9. Meet as many of the guys on my "I'd marry him" list as possible.
10. Become certified in cosmetology
11. Design my own line of clothes or accessories.
12. Go to the world premier of a movie.
13. Write a book (or two, or a few...)
14. Learn at least three languages (other than English).
15. Fall in love for real, accept their flaws.

Well, I think that's enough for now. You get the idea. I want to do it all, even though it seems like enough for five lifetimes.
