New friends?!?!?!...

I have never met this many nice people in my life. I am always the one to smile at people or try to initiate small talk with strangers, but it seems that everybody is nice in college. People I have never met before walk up to me and start conversation. It destroyed my fear of going to college and not knowing what to expect. Each day I become more comfortable at school. I think that I have met genuine people that could possibly be my friends for the rest of my life. Everyone is
kindhearted. I have gotten positive feedback from so many different strangers. I am enjoying my college experience so far.

Mourning

You should cherish everyone that is significant in your life because tomorrow is never promised. If you have any animosity between you and your loved ones, I suggest you end it today. I did not and I feel tremendously guilty. I never had a chance to tell him that I loved him for the last time. Some days are better than others. I think about the good times and then out of nowhere I burst into tears. But I think crying is healthy. I just wish there was something I could have done or said. I just saw him two weeks ago. Why didn't I see the pain in his eyes? Why didn't he reach out to me? These questions constantly run through my mind. And I will never know the answers. That is why I hope that everyone who reads this blog will appreciate everyone that they love.

Under construction

When you are in high school, you think you know everything. Well at least I did. I thought I knew everything there was to know about being a mature adult.But the few weeks I have been in college, I am starting to realize that I am not who I thought I was. In fact, I have come to the realization that I am a work in process. I can never know everything about myself or life because there will always be more to learn. I think that who I am should solely be based on how I feel. Not how others perceive me.

Identity

I believe identity stems from personal belifefs. Your culture and surroundings can influence your identity, but I don't think that defines who you are. I know many people who are considered different because they don't meet the status quo of their background. Your identity should be your morals and how react to certain things. It shouldn't be based on the media to say what is right and what is wrong.

frustrated

It's been awhile since I wrote an essay, and I'm having a hard time doing the homework. I can't think of another idea to support my opinion and it's working my nerve. It's kind of ironic that I have writer's block and we just discussed it in class.

SPOKEN WORD

ESCAPING THIS PAIN THAT I'VE BEEN HOLDING FOR SO LONG
LETTING GO OF ALL MY INHIBITIONS
CHALLENGING THOSE WHO DOUBTED ME
GIVING UP ALL MY INSECURITIES
RISING ABOVE THE REST
PUTTING MY CONFIDENCE TO THE TEST

ALLOWING MY CRYING DAYS TO FADE AWAY
I'M STARTING TO APPRECIATE LIFE FOR WHAT ITS WORTH
I LIVE EVERYDAY AS IF IT WERE MY LAST
BECAUSE TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED
RISING ABOVE THE REST
PUTTING MY CONFIDENCE TO THE TEST
I NOW LOOK FORWARD TO MY FUTURE
EXCITED TO ENCOURAGE THOSE IN DESPAIR
KNOWING THAT I CAN BE THEIR ROCK
IF NO ONE IS THERE
THAT ENCOURAGES ME TO PUSH FORWARD
AND NEVER LOOK BACK
EMPOWERING MYSELF TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON
FAITH IN MYSELF IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING
SLOWLY LEARNING TO LOVE EVERY ASPECT OF ME
ACCEPT THAT I WILL NEVER BE PERFECT
REALIZING THAT EVERYONE WON'T LIKE ME
BUT TRYING TO GAIN PEOPLE'S ACCEPTANCE IS NO LONGER MY CUP OF TEA
THE ONLY OPINION THAT MATTERS IS MINE
IF I DON'T BECOME THE MOST POPULAR PERSON I'LL BE FINE
I CAN TRULY SAY THAT I LOVE MYSELF
RISING ABOVE THE REST
PUTTING MY CONFIDENCE TO THE TEST
