Augsburg

My roommate is a blonde, Catholic, country girl...
This year will be interesting.
Here's the link for the probable lay out of my dorm room(the two person room obviously)

Looking Back

As summer is beginning to drift away, I'm starting to a lot more thinking about how high school went. The wins and losses of everything.
How many of my friendships were actual friendships versus just being acquaintances? The answer I came up with for that question was quite saddening.
So who were my friends that I would say left high school with me?

Abby

Out of all of my friendships I have developed over my life, I can say this was honestly the least expected one. I love this girl to death, and hope college doesn't interfere with our friendship. I've told you everything about myself, and somehow you still choose to beat me up. But that's you. We talk about everything: crazy and disgusting dreams, what our dream men consist of(or more importantly don't consist of), and how much we hate people(that's my favorite topic). I'm going to miss our reoccurring awkward moments and our fantastic cuddling sessions.

Sydney

I've just realized I have too many friends in Appleton. Gas is too expensive for that.. Anywho, this friendship has been one of trust, motivation, and realization. Trust. I know I can tell you anything, literally anything, and you'll be there to back me up. Motivation. There is only one word to link that to our friendship, basketball. I'm so glad I got to spend four fantastic years of basketball with you. Realization. There's probably a better word than that to explain this, but I couldn't think of it. But through our friendship I've realized how to "properly" give advice, how to be sure of what I want to happen before anything leaves my mouth, and how to become a better friend to those that truly have a spot in my heart. I'm going to miss being able to stop by whenever I'm in Appleton and go out for Starbucks or see a movie or just hang out.

Rae

Ahh, yes, Rae. So much to write. While our friendship is an odd one, it must be included. I'm not sure how to phrase any of this honestly. You've been the person I could go to for advice and have deep talks with, although this didn't happen until all that recently. If I had to choose one "fun friend" that would certainly be you! I will never forget Desperate Housewives, your graduation party, or Lifest. Also, we were locker buddies all through high school. Just think of that quality bonding of using Erich's locker as a garbage can! An important moment for the two of us, was obviously Salad Bar. Pizza Ranch probably has never cleaned out it's salad bar as well as we did. We were so good at chiseling the ice from that thing, we ought to have gotten an award! I'm going to miss hearing your random ramblings between classes and hearing your ridiculous stories, but don't worry, I'll be visiting you in Winona!

There are so many people I feel have impacted my life, most of them I wish I would have gotten to know a lot, lot better. I have so many people that I hold high on my scale of friendship(if it must be called anything) but that I'm not sure how things have changed between us.

Looking back I can tell that my priorities were out of line. I didn't take time for fun. The end of my junior year, I remember driving home late one night and thinking about how I wanted more nights where I was out and about, breathing in the adrenaline-filled air. I almost wish I could relive my senior year and rid the people that kept me from that.

Freaking Out

Move in day is getting closer and closer...
I feel like I have no idea what I need for my dorm..
However, I found this site and it is amazing! It has lists and so many great priced products. I've ordered a few items off of there already and will certainly get more as move in day gets closer!

Behind These Hazel Eyes

I love Kelly Clarkson. I always have.. Recently I've been listening to "Behind These Hazel Eyes" a lot. I think this song Ian the only reason I wouldn't mind having hazel eyes(I love my blue eyes..)
Anyhow, I listen to the song on repeat on my way to work. And today I realized why.. It matches how I feel about.. Well a lot of things. I'd rather ignore the present when given the opportunity and dwell in the past. The song makes me feel like maybe that can be okay to do, but only on occasion..not constantly. Actually that doesn't really fit with the lyrics at all, but that's what I think of when I hear the song...
Time to replay it...
