HAVE FUN

KINDNESS ＆ CARE IS PRIORITY

Waking up in the morning and getting ready with Sara. Includes complaining about pants and doing weird dances to get shirts to fit the way I want them to fit.

Having only me in charge of my life again. I can listen to music whenever I want. I can eat when I want, I can wear what I want, I can do what I want when I want to do it. If I don't want to wash a cup, then I'm not going to wash the cup.

Learning new things and discovering how my life unfolds day by day, hour by hour. Anyone else feel like time stands still during the summer? I miss classes an homework and reading and I don't even care if I have to read boring things.

Flexibility of movement. If I want to go downtown to get a coffee, I can walk. If I feel like taking College Ave, then I will. It's a small thing, but I miss just choosing my own path.

Fridays. And not even just the nighttime part. I loved the anticipation of something awesome happening. I miss the thought of having a whole 48 hours with my friends and nothing else.

This goes with point five, but *drunken* Friday nights. I miss letting loose and getting rid of morals and flirting with guys that I won't see the next day and dressing up with my girls listening to pump-up music.

Giant. I miss having my own (and Sara's) grocery list. I miss just having to shop for me and if one week all I want to eat is hummus and Captain Crunch, then by God that's what I'm going to do.

Tour guiding. I'm excited to GET people excited. I love my school and the fact that it's my job to help share that love is one of the best things ever.

Meeting new people. I'm tired of the same people and the same routine. I am looking forward to be able to walk down campus and see hundreds of new faces, but at the same time, have the comfort of knowing my friends are right there with me.

Spontaneity. Trust me, Suzi and I do random shit all the time (like making cards for pizza delivery guys and bike riding in the pouring rain). But.. I miss spontaneity with my other friends too, haha. I want to get doughnuts at 1am. I want to go to the playground and make a 12 minute video on the see-saw.

Seaco, The Nest, and the Underground. I am looking forward to being a hustle and bustle kind of place. I liked the noises and the smells and the variety.

My campus. It is so pretty. No explanation needed.

Being involved in my group family dynamics. I have friends here at home, mostly at the theater, but unfortunately, we don't all hang out as a group. I miss all of my friends at college in a room together interacting.

The ability to just walk down the hall to my friend's rooms. Sure, Suzi is a quick 5 minute drive away (a pretty backroads drive, too), but she's not always there. She doesn't live next door.

Sunday brunch. And the weekend recap. The "haha, I can't believe that happened," or "haha, OH GOD, that happened?!"

Afternoons that I procrastinate on homework and just goof off. Those days I'd just go sit in Lauren's room and joke around. The hours I wasted playing Mario Brother's in Claire's room. The few hours of sunlight I'd soak up on Ball Circle even though I had an English paper.

Late nighters, or all nighters. And there will be no Caroline or Jenny this year, so we can be as loud and as giggly-full-of-black-tea as we want to be.

Making my own schedule to fit my needs. Okay, so Mondays and Wednesday I can grab lunch at 12 with Claire and Ashley. Thursday's I will do laundry from 3-5. Make sure to call Suzi after your tour on Wednesday, and I have a meeting with my adviser at 11 on Friday. I miss my calender and having places to go and be needed.

The feeling that college is a bubble from real life. When we all come back from Target, nothing has changed on campus and that's awesome.

Decorating our new room with Sara. Also, no explanation needed.
