Okay.
College, in a nut shell, is one giant test. Of many things. Personal strength, motivation, time management....so on and so forth. These past few weeks have been one crazy whirlwind for me, and while I don't typically like to nag or brag about my life, I have to get all of this off my chest.
Starting with school. I got my first B - ever - in my life this past week. If you know me, you understand how much that threw me for a loop. I became even more stressed out than I already was and now I'm just worried its going to become a normal thing. Ugh... along with school is the varsity sports. I had my first sideline cheer event (on a college level!!!!) and I must say it was one of the best things, ever. I forgot how much I loved cheer. I must say, even though I do love cheer and have missed it, it is doing a number of damage on my body. But it's so worth it.

Classes are pretty good, too. I mean, I can't
complain. I have a class called Engineering 1001 and let me tell you,
it's 1001 levels of stupid. But aside from that, classes are good. (Just
a shit ton of homework. Welcome to college, right?)
Along with that, I've been traveling up here and enjoying the sights that the upper peninsula has to offer. Just a few weeks ago I traveled to Copper Harbor with some amazing people and I swam in the Superior and climbed rocks to look out over the water. I went to the highest point of the UP and experienced insane wind speeds and took some really funny photos.
The colors of the leaves are also something to admire. I've fallen in love with just looking out my window.
I'm also just so happy here, for plenty of reasons.
And one of them has to do with this guy.
And he makes me laugh so much.
And he lets me talk way too much for my own good, and better yet - he listens.
And we have quite bit in common, but enough differences.
And I can be my snarky self without him getting all offended.
I feel comfortable with him, and that's just so great to me. We have this sort of relationship where we tease and toy with one another. All in good fun...
I just really appreciate him and everything he does for me. I don't think that he realizes how important he is to me, and how important it is to me that he chooses to be so close with me. I mean, don't get me wrong I've made a lot of friends up here that I love spending time with, but there is just something about this guy that is different. I laugh differently with him, and I feel different around him. I've told him so much about myself, and he still accepts me as a human being, which is super cool, and I just feel like I could trust him with my life. Which, is a refreshing feeling.
He remind me so much of... home. If that makes any sense. I feel wanted when I am with him. And I feel safe. And I can really start feeling us becoming best friends, which is a great start to a wonderful bond. It's actually quite exciting.
I wasn't looking for anyone up here, that was never my initial goal. I just wanted to do well in school and make a lot of money and have a wonderful future. Boys were the last thing on my mind. (Which is kind of funny considering where I chose to go to school.) But this guy... he just showed up and took me by surprise. And honestly, I'm not complaining at all.
On another positive note, I got to see my mom and my aunt today. Which was AWESOME! I haven't seen my aunt in almost two months and I was delighted that I got to spend time with them. They are just the funniest people. We were walking into Walmart today, and there was this potato on the ground in parking lot. We all just kind of stopped walking and stared at this potato and my mom says, "Hey Julie!!! I think you dropped your potato!" and we all just started laughing. Then this little girl comes out of no where and says, "Actually... that's mine." and she reaches over, picks it up and shoves it in her pocket. And then she walked away. We all just stared at each other for a second and then we all got lost in hysterical laughter. And that is how my day went, in a nutshell. It was so nice to laugh with my two mothers.
College is going well, life is going well, and my relationships with friends and family are going well. I do miss my best friend back home immensely, and it does sadden me that we rarely talk anymore.... I just fear that we have nothing left to talk about. And it breaks my heart.
Overall, I'm quite happy, and just trying to live it up the most that I can, while I can.
