random college stuff.....
College is kicking my ass. All of my classes are so insanely hard. I love them all, but it seems impossible to get a good grade in them. Maybe my expectations of how well I would do here were too high. That said, I pretty much love everything about college other than the studying and the fact that I miss all of my friends so much. I have met so many cool people here, but they just aren't the same as my Richmond friends. Thanksgiving and Christmas break is going to suck because I won't get to go to any of the parties and see anyone. I guess it won't be completely horrible because I have actually gotten to be friends with a few people that live around where I live now, so at least I will have someone to hang out with. I love Chicago, but there is really nothing like Richmond. However, living here has made me feel like such a city girl, and everytime I walk downtown or just outside my dorm on the lake I feel like I am on vacation. The lake is so pretty and relaxing and downtown is just incredible and overwhelming. I love being in the middle of everything. There is so much to do. I met Gavin Degraw the other night with a few friends. He had a concert here ($5, hell yeah) and a meet and greet afterwards. Hmmmm I have met some other really interesting people here too. The random people that you meet on the El are sometimes either really funny or soo scary. All the people on my floor are really cool. Ruby and I are seriously the perfect match for roommates. We get along so well, even though we have really different interests. She bought me cookies today and suprised me :) My parents come to take me out for dinner every other week or so. It is actually really nice to have them so close. I haven't really needed anything yet, but I know that if I do, I can call them and they will be able to come. I have no idea what I want to major in. I thought I wanted to be pre-med, but now I am pretty sure that I don't. I wish I knew what I wanted to do. Everyone else seems like they know. I guess I just need to give it time.
