| wow. its been quite a while since ive written on this facebook has taken over my life. well, happy new years everyone. although technically its the 2nd now but oh well. heres new years resolutions, and this time im REALLY gonna try and do them and im not just saying it:
- find the energy to wake up early to do crew + all weight lifting sessions
- stop drinking so much
- lose weight/ gain muscle
- stop being pessimistic/bitter/whiney/emo/keeping everything to myself
- stop procrastinating/get better at managing time
- stop caring so much what people think of me
- discover what i REALLY want to do with my life
- think about what college is really the best for me
- leave the past behind/ get on with my life
- most of all, BE HAPPY!!!
hmm. its really nice to be home and be around familiar places and people. i feel kind of bad though that i dont want to be home, home really, its just i want to be back in california. pennsylvania is great it really is. its a great place to go exploring and meet people, but i miss being in california, the architecture, weather and people. ive never realized how different people are outside of the state. shows how sheltered i really am huh. mm... now that i think about it i miss just the all around feeling in california. like i feel, over there, theres really not much to do but to party like HELL and then study your ass off. so most of my free time is either spent getting drunk off my ass, shopping or doing nothing. i dunno.. i being whiney again. haha. but yeah, i just wanted to put this out of my chest. i know this sounds corny but the biggest lesson i learned this year is happiness is everything; theres no point in doing anything unless it makes you or it will in the long run, make you happy. happy new years everyone.

| mannn oh mann. what have i gotten myself into now? *smacks forehead*

| arhg. im really stressed out.
i guess im kinda copying mle in doing this but for those kids who are applying for colleges let me give you the dl on bryn mawr college. over all, its really freaking awsome. the insane diversity is really awsome. this place definately fosters a sense of community even on the first day of school because everyone is really super friendlyand really welcoming, even the the upperclass women. you can get totally lost on the first day of school and a senior would literally walk you to ur class to make sure that youre okay. the deans are very easily accessible and VERY friendly but not in the fake i-want-to-help-you-so-i-can-get-a-promotion way but they genuinely care about you and value the student's opinion. one students opinion on a prof can be the difference between getting tenure and getting fired. literally one student. the traditions are really awsome but in a way its like hazing for a sorority. also since bryn mawr is in a consortium, you can take classes at haverford, swarthmore and upenn. for those interested in math/science bryn mawr has an AMAZING program in the math and sciences. i was actually really surprised how strong bryn mawr in these fields considering that its a liberal arts school. okay..now for the shitty parts of bryn mawr. classes are INSANELY hard and there is a huge work load, therefore, im really stressed out. honestly ive never thought this hard before in my life. the fact that its an all women's college really sucks because the girls here really get so desperate for male interaction. there are also NO PARTIES whatsoever so you have to take the train to go to upenn or the bus to the other colleges to party. but even if you dont party, you will never meet men because partying is the only other direct way youll meet men other in your classes. also the stereotype of guys at haverford: short, hairy and named dan. ive definately found this stereotype to a very accurate discription of the boys there. if you plan on taking classes at swat, you really have to be dedicated to it cus the buses ot swat are REALLLY unreliable. its really pointless to take classes there because the buses dont come often enough and fast enough.
but yeah. thats the end of my spiel. im mainly stressed out cus the crew coach has decided to make me her bitch and yell at me every second of practice even tho other rowers on the team are fucking up just as badly as i am. she claims i am not paying attention to her. honestly its freaking 5 in the morning nobody is paying attention! freaking annoying. and i have 3 blisters on my hand. i literally have raw meat for hands. furthermore, after fall break i have 2 4-5 page essays due and a midterm. rugh. okay. i feel better now. i must sleep cus i have freaking crew tomorrow. | | |
