I just want to share a few things that have been going on in the past few months, not necessarily fashion related but maybe I can tie it in somehow. :)
WOW! I did not prepare myself for freshman year as much as I had hoped I would. Sure, I had all the things I needed for my dorm room, my mom sent some care boxes for me, and I made great friends. However, I didn't give 110% on my school work as I know I should have. Having no roommate gave me a great excuse! I would say, "Well, its so hard to motivate myself when I see all my friends with their roommates doing fun things, because I don't have someone to have a great relationship with, like they do!" wait... did that even make sense? Oh well, you get the point. That is not me! In high school I was captain of the girls tennis team, choir president, student body president, I volunteered at the local health center and the list goes on. It wasn't like me to sit in my room day in and day out. I couldn't and I still can't figure out why I chose loneliness over friendships when all of my life I have been loved by many people and I love making new friends. What I do know from my first year of college and coming home to be with my friends from high school is that I was afraid of losing just that... my friends from high school so I didn't try making new ones as often as I could have or should have.
Do not let yourself stoop down to my level. It's not worth it. Yikes-I made myself should like a bad person or something just then... I'm not but heres the thing, you have to continue being you! Don't let previous relationships get in the way of making new friends. That is what college is for; to broaden your knowledge, open your heart to new things and meet tons of new people, many of which will be your lifelong friends.
I wasn't a loser all of my first year, I did meet some pretty fantastic people, including my amazing boyfriend (Lets call him D). Some of my friends thought it would be a great idea for me to download Tinder, the dating app, so I did...innocently. I had no intentions of talking to or meeting anyone, but I guess there were other plans in the air for me. D and I have been together about eight months now and I don't think I could have ever found someone more fitting for me. I am truly excited to see what the future holds for us and... heres to new adventures.
Just remember to take full advantage of your freshman year and take every chance you can. Don't change who you are, what you do or what you believe in but make sure to let new people into your life.
