Back to School
A lot has obviously changed.
Already reunited with all of my best loves, it’s strange how it feels like I never left. The dining halls are trippin me out though because it’s all new faces; all freshman. I remember last year knowing practically every person in there. Also already saw a show; Ra Ra Riot!!! At funk n’ waffles off Marshall Street. They were absolutely brilliant....

A lot of songs
are ruined for me now.
Couldn’t I have just discovered them on my own?
It’s kind of like how I can’t listen to fall out boy anymore because it reminds me too much of high school freshman year.

NYC
New York City was a whole new experience. Even though I’ve been twice before, this was the first time I actually experienced it on my own and went out for adventures on my own. Obviously I fell in love with it. The only downfall was my sister. I came to visit her, before I went to school in upstate NY, and I hadn’t seen her since October. 10 months. So obviously, because I’m not...
I can't keep
having these dreams where I spend all night fighting for you. Because I don’t fight for anything that won’t be solely mine. And I have this feeling you will always be everywhere. But there I am, night after night, running around the disappointment you’ve created in a very small room. Running because it will show you I’m trying harder, but it won’t be enough work for...

It can be hard to give.
I hate feeling like people do more for me than I do for them.
Helping people out has a lot to do with money whether you choose to believe that or not. I often wish that I could take the check for all my friends, or give someone that special gift they have always been wanting.
I remember when Joyce Carol Oates came to my school for a book signing/lecture. I had grown up knowing her books, my mom...

Friends>Family
Friends very often continue to trump family in my life.
And that’s scary because friends turn into family, and then you have to decide if you can really trust someone who has never seen you as a baby, you know, at your absolute worst.

Sooo as I’m trying to figure out tumblr, I’m growing more and more annoyed that I don’t already fully understand it. Which makes me think back to how I can never stand to read the directions for anything, and how I am insanely impatient and impulsive. SOOOO then just as I was asking myself “Why am I insane?” I remembered that I’m an Aries, and it’s...

Explanations
Hmm so I guess I will explain a few things for my first post.
1. I started this because the idea of blogging weirds me out and I want to see if I can grow a liking to it.
2. Explore public journal writing!
3. The picture I used for my main image or whatever is my favorite photography shot. Idk if I can really claim it as such because I don’t know very many photographers or am exposed to a...
