Dear Friendly Friends.

This is such a new experience for me. I'm consistently in an amazing mood? Who knew!

I'm getting to know myself. It's nice. I'm so not stressed out. I'm just happy.

I love people I used to know. I love when they come back into my life. Whether it's a really good friend I lost touch with over the summer (Tesserrrr!) or someone I just started seeing again for the first time in like...four years? [:)] It's always a good feeling to see someone again you haven't seen in a while. Especially if it is someone that was a strong positive presence in your life.


Oh that reminds me. Last weekend I definitely had lunch with my Aunt and Uncle who were randomly out here. I hadn't seen them in like...6 years? (They're on my mom's side of the family...) It was nice. It made me feel really old though.

The second best feeling? Getting rid of people who bring you down, or cause you problems, or remind you of a time you don't want to remember over and over again. I don't need anyone bringing me down. And letting go is hard, sometimes, but it's the best decision you could ever make for yourself.

In the past month or so, I have just become a better person.

I really have been feeling super old a lot lately. Esp since I've been preping my college applications and starting my essays? Applying for scholarships and all that junk? It's just like "Wow, I'm graduating this year and I finally get to start my life." All my peers seem so afraid of the future, but I know I'm well-prepared. I have experienced enough in my life to understand the kind of person I need to be.

I think I decided I want to go into law. Want my list of schools?
(In no particular order, if you know me you should already be able to tell my first choice)
-Ohio State [Applied yesterday, fool!]
-New York University
-Boston College
-Columbia
-Harvard (Yeah right, but worth a try, right?)
-Stanford (California...? Might as well just apply since its where my daddy wants me to go)
-Northwestern
-USC

Notice the lack of school in Arizona. I'm not even leaving it as an option for myself. I'm ready to move on, and if I stay here that will never really happen. I'm ready to go.

NYC, here I come :)
