Sophomore Year 2012
2 min read
Dear Journal,
Well let me say that my second year of college is flying by too fast. I have to worry about doing my research paper soon, do my video editing projects and worry about finals @.@. I do not know where the time has gone. I remember moving in into my new dorm and being excited for my new classes and now they are almost ending?
My summer though was filled with so much stuff it was unbelievable. I went to Warped Tour 2012 and saw my favorite bands like All Time Low, We the Kings, New Found Glory, We are the in crowd and many more. I worked at a summer camp and watched kids all day. I went to splish splash and the beaches. Even at college i went on trips to Dorney Park and saw Avenue Q for the first time. All those events seem like they are in the way past.
But i am looking forward to going to FRIGHT FEST tomorrow for halloween. I might even go into New York City to experience the halloween parade. I only have 5 more weeks till the semester ends. I mean after thanksgiving i only have a week of classes and then i have to worry about finals. Geez i can not wrap my head around it.
I will take lots of pictures of Fright Fest that is for sure
. I have not really been home since Columbus Day weekend. I do miss home but i can wait till thanksgiving. I even picked out classes that i am going take next year. I have to sign up for them November 7th. I am already picking out classes for next semester? Now this is too unreal.
Well i will see how this year goes and see how i deal with new challenges.

Update on College Life

So yesterday, i had the biggest snow storm that i have ever experienced. It happened yesterday like two days before halloween. I mean last year we didn't have snow but it was colder out. It never snowed like that. In Newburgh New York we got up to about 5 inches of snow yesterday. It all stuck and piling up. I walked back from my dinning hall last night and it was snowing and windy. The wind was whipping my face. When the snow hit my face it felt like bullets trying to penetrate my skin. I couldn't see where i was going. It was really dangerous walking back to my dorm.
But todayit has all melted. It felt like yesterday was all like a blur. Yesterday felt like almost like a nightmare. It is nice and sunny but it feels SOOO much like winter. It is ridiculous. I mean where did fall go? Fall felt like it was only here for about 3 weeks and then suddenly it became winter. I guess everyone is going to have a white christmas in new york early this year. Everytime i go to school i feel i experience the unbelievable. I feel like i am cursed.
But anyways college is going swell! Pyschology is not my greatest subject to date. My teacher is hard than i expected. She is the teacher who teaches honors classes and then she tries to teach the regular classes like mine the same way. I am not capable of taking her tests and being an honor student. It is a lot of pressure. I had teachers like that before in high school but i did pass their class, barely. My roomate is really nice and we get along well. My dorm room is huge but the view is not soo great. I have to look at a generator every morning. Like my dad says it looks "like i live in a prison." Which come to think of it, i think it is true. My other classes are alright. I don't like my history teacher though. He just can't teach and he looks like he could retire. His quizzes are ridiculous and i just hate it. I am passing his class though with like a 70 average which is great for me because then i won't have to take history ever again. My college writing class is great. I actually love the class besides the peer editing. I am learning how to become a better writer. My teacher is great and recently we just did a paper about Super PACS and i learned a little bit about politics. I never really like politics actually but once i learned about them and watched the Stephen Colbert show about the Super PAC and it seemed really interesting.
Then this weekend i saw a play my college put on called Rock Picture Horror Show and the actors in the play were interacting with the audience. I love it so much. The actors even dressed up as the characters. My friend alex looked scarily like Rocky. It was ridiculous and i was laughing the whole time.
Well i gotta get going and tonight i am going to watch paranormal activity 3 with my friends. I am soo excited!
. I love to watch scary movies :3.

The wonders of College
3 min read
Wohoo i am going to college soon. I don't know how to take it. I mean i am having mixed feelings. I do want to explore the world and be independent and learn how to be an adult is all i am trying to say. I just can't believe my high school years went by soo fast. I don't even really remember freshmen year O.0. I just only remember my best friend i met and who are still there for me today.
I am going to mount saint mary's college which is in upstate new york. It is a small college and i felt secure at a small college because then you won't feel soo tiny and you can navigate through the college better. I feel like it is going to be soo akward there because they want you to play games and sports games. I mean honestly who is going to do that? I did meet my new roomates and everything and they seem really nice. My roomate said our suite is huge! I'm really excited to see it and make my room my own place. i mean i only have half the space but it is okay!
I just remember being a little kid, riding around in my cozy coop and tractor and just being young. I didn't have to worry about boys and drama and broken hearts and dealing with emmotions. I miss the old days and just thinking boys could not judge you and that if they liked you, you didn't really care. You were just friends playing on the swings and playing with chalk. You could watch saturday morning cartoons like rocket power, ed, edd and eddy and kenan and kel and doug and all that and SOOO many other shows. It is going to suck growing up but you know everyone has gotta do it.
I just don't know how my family is going to feel when i go away. Yeah i mean i won't be that far away but it is going to be hard for my dad because i am still his little girl and his only one. I only have one brother left after me to go to college. He is going to stick with all the chores in the house. But what i am trying to say even though i am a little nervous and frightened, i know i will have to overcome my fears and challenges and meet up with every obstacle that comes my way.
It is like what Phil Collins said in his song I'm on my way:
Tell everybody I'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
With blue skies ahead yes
I'm on my way
And there's nowhere else
that I'd rather be
Tell everybody I'm on my way
And I'm loving every step I take
With the sun beating down yes
I'm on my way
And I can't keep this smile off my face
