I never thought I would see the day that I would start a blog. I use to journal. A lot. But now that I am here at college, it's rare that I'm ever away from my computer. So this is my newest option. I am actually pretty excited about it. I have just finished my freshman year of college. It feels crazy. I feel like it was yesterday that my parents were helping me unpack, and today my parents are helping unpack again -- except this time it's groceries in my dorm room that I will be living in this summer. I kind of feel like a Debbie Downer. Summer is used to be a time when I would come up with all of these crazy expectations, and say things to my friends like, "This will be the best summer ever!" But here I am. I'm done with classes and finals; I've come to the shore of summer. And I have absolutely no expectations. This devastates me. I only have a few more years that I have a real "summer" before I really embark in the "real world". I should be embracing this. Living life to its fullest. So I will. This summer will be the summer that I work on myself. This whole year I've questioned who I really am. Is this the summer that I figure it all out? Ha, no. I think we have a while until that happens. But I am going to focus on me. What I need and what I want -- not what others think I need and want. So friends, here's to new beginnings and to the 'best summer ever'!
