Eh.
You don't really wanna know. But maybe you really do.
The basics:
I'm 19 years old in my second year at Penn State University, and I can't say I like it all too much. I'm a print journalism major and eventually want to be the editor-in-chief at a major magazine. I got a position as a staff writer for Valley Magazine, a student-run life and style publication here at PSU, but I quit shortly after joining. We just weren't a good match for each other, to say the least.
I moved to Massachusetts right after graduating from high school in Florida, and I know absolutely no one in my new hometown - it's awesome. My parents are divorced, and I live with my mom, although I lived with my dad when they first broke up. He lives in Tennessee now.
The real shit:
I've recently gone through some tough times, but haven't we all? I miss my friends, my real, true friends, more than I thought I would. I thought I could cut and run at any time, that there was nothing holding me down. After all, I was unattainable, unattached. And I was wrong.
I've discovered that I am not nearly as infallible as I thought I was. Time and time again I think I should be in Tampa with the rest of my friends, and know that I would appreciate the comfort of familiarity.
But I stand by my decision to leave, because I have also discovered that life isn't about doing what makes us comfortable. It's about taking chances and hoping to God that everything works out okay, and it always does. It took me 18 and a half years to figure out the mystery of the "blessing in disguise," but it's certainly made life easier. I know that I am in good hands - my own - and that I am going to make it.
I have a long way to go, but I continue to grow and become a better person with time. I learn more about love, life, friendship, and family. I learn more about me.
I'm a reader, a writer, a student, a teacher, a lover, a hater, a dork, a bitch, a northerner, a southerner, a suspect, a victim, a leader, a follower, a sinner, a saint, outgoing, introspective, weak, strong, intelligent, idiotic, judgmental, understanding, plain, elaborate - I still don't know exactly who I am, but in the end, all I really am is human, and no one can ever change that.
