Social

The college storm has hit me. 

In less than a week I have pushed out of my comfort zone in a million in one ways. But this a wonderful thing!

Although I don't remember all their names, I have been introduced to what seems like thousands of people. Out of all these people, so many of them are so inviting! 

Living in the dorms is quite the experience so far, and I don't think there has been a quiet night yet! Everybody is on an energy high from the new move and so eager to meet new people.

I'm interested to see if the environment changes once school starts but for right now I think I may just need some sleep!

Home, Sweet Home

Well, today was the day...I finally moved away from the nest and I am now living in the beautiful San Luis Obispo. It was an exhausting day, but quite a fun experience.

Only one day in and I feel confident in calling my little dorm, HOME! There is an abundance of kind people, food, and of course a nice comfy bed.

So for tonight, I wont say much as I busy rearranging the ootles of things I brought with me! But be ready for many great SLO stories!

Go Mustangs!!

Accidental grace

Today has been eventful.

Hidden beneath all the craziness I decided its time I get back to blogging. With only a few more days until my college move this could be some of the most changing days, in well my whole life.

Not much into my day, I was interrupted my a unexpected car wreck. It ended up smaller than it very well could have been and I am thankful for my well-being at the moment.

Despite plans therefor getting changed and now becoming carless for a few days I'm finding tiny specks of grace in this.

The man who accidentally hit me was so kind, remorseful, and truly sincere. It was also a nice surprise to learn he was a fellow Hilmarian despite being half an hour away from my home. This is why it is always said, "what a small world"!

I can rest easy tonight knowing there are always nice people somewhere in the world.

Cal Poly, The 2nd Happiest Place on Earth

For the past two days I have been lucky enough to escape the heat of the valley and take a "vacation" to my future home, San Luis Obispo. With one more day left here I am beginning to frown upon the thought of leaving.

A year ago I never would have even considered living here, I frowned upon the fact that so many Hilmarians migrated here and just wanted to get as far away as possible. I am now so so thankful that God led me magically here and feel a little guilty for thinking anything negative of such a welcoming school (and town).

I now have faith that my transition into adult, college life will become slightly easier knowing I am in such a happy environment. Not only am I blessed to have found a happy place in my life right now, I am blessed to have my family's love and support also guiding me on the new journey. I am sure this will not be my only Cal Poly post where I profess my love of the college...so for you readers who choose to become a little slice of my journey too, thank you for your wonderful support ears!

GO MUSTANGS!

Thankful relationships

Sometimes to be truly thankful for what you have (not materially, but emotionally) it has to slowly, or quickly disappear. I have began to notice this little by little.

Looking back at my high school career I can say that there were several relationships that went through their rough patches. What I am beginning to notice now is that as soon as I became too self centered or unappreciative of what that friend did for me the relationship started to dwindle. Why didn't I notice this before?!

Whether it be a boy or girl I am truly going to work on cherishing each moment I get to spend with a friend. They are each in my life for a bigger purpose and unless I become aware of their presence it will soon be robbed.

I'm glad this summer has been so full of learning. I am so thankful that I have wonderful friends who are helping me learn so many things without even knowing it. Thank you!!

Little Landon

Today I am not only thankful but impressed by my little brother. I didn't see him much today but I was thankful when the day ended with his hilarious dinner entertainment.

The reality of how much I'll miss him with my move sets in everyday.

Now I don't meant to be completely depressing so I'll switch notes and give you a glimpse of Landon's shinning personality.

Almost daily, at mealtimes he chooses to entertain the family with 11 year old stand-up comedy. He does every pitch and tone of laughter known to man. For some reason, I have never been able to mature out of my giggly stage when he comes around. There is NEVER a quiet moment with Landon in the house.

Despite all the harassing and badgering I have (and Jordan too) done, I will miss every ounce of noise and movement from this spunky little guy.

Thanks Landon for keeping me on my toes with your vivacious, character-like personality. Love ya!

Blog about it

Tonight I find myself in agitation over petty things. So when all else fails, I guess I'll blog about it.

I knew graduation would bring about major changes for my peers and I but a lot has shocked me in a short amount of time. I thought the changes would slowly ease in and come over large amounts of time...I was wrong.

For some reason, I seem to find people changing drastically. A few people have gained this overwhelming sense of "I don't care anymore" or as the younger, more embarrassing generation chooses to call it "YOLO". I believe there are many things we should take lightly and not stress about, but not caring about people's feelings because you only live once can be extreme to a certain point.

To those out there thinking it all doesn't matter anymore, remind me when you learn the hard way how it now matters to you.

Thank you blog for letting me become Dr. Phil for the night!
