Let me just start by saying how much I love personal reflection. I love looking at where I was a year ago and where I am now. For example, last year I was buying $10 American Eagle flip flops and listening to “Mr. Hurricane” by Beast not knowing that in the next two semesters I would face challenges that made it clear that the amount of strength I really had exceeded the amount of strength I ever knew I possessed in both academia (in both semesters, my GPA took blows) and faith (I went from Christian to Atheist to Agnostic and now I’m at Skeptic and every step was painful).

Today (well technically yesterday since it is after 12am) I moved in and just literally finished unpacking (It’s just after 12am). I am so exhausted but excited at the same time. Last year, my “college song” that I listened to while I was going back/moving into my dorm last year was ‘Mr. Hurricane’. This year’s college song that I jammed to while going back/moving in was 30 Seconds to Mars’ – ‘Closer to the Edge’.

The song/video is kind of cool. Not to mention that Jared Leto is hot and I ♥ the cinematography (I think that’s what I’m referring too lol).

And my wisdom teeth are coming in. ^D That caused me to be excited because well, they’re wisdom teeth. The whole ‘wisdom’ aspect makes me happy. I figured that my wisdom teeth were coming in maybe a month ago but didn’t find a reason to necessarily care until literally Sunday when upon waking up felt a dull ache where I presume the wisdom tooth on the right side of my jaw was growing. Can I say, ‘Convenient.’ :. But I’m so excited, I don’t care :)

Also, I’ve volunteered to redo the website for a school organization (Intervarsity) that I’m apart of annnnnd I’m kind of excited.

Questions:

  • How do you find school: fun, lame, boring, waste of time?
  • Where were you a year ago and what have you learned?
  • Type your name with your chin!!!!
