Returning to school was difficult. Not in the way that I don't get to see them as much, but now there are no late night Perkins runs or last minute plans. I actually have to go to bed at a descent hour because I have nothing to do! I know that summer won't be the same next year, which is another reason why letting go of this one is so difficult. With friends running off to college or the army... life just won't be the same. But I guess that I have to remember that friendships like these last a lot longer than what high school does, so no worries right?

Summer's End
It's hard to describe why this summer was so amazing and why it's going to be so hard to adjust to school, but I guess it can ultimately be done in one word: Besties. Friends so close, that not a single night was spent without them. That's about 70 days of constant movie nights, "family" dinners, sand volleyball, Gordon Ramsey, plenty of Last Comic Standing, and of course' all the nights we just sat around and played ping pong. Now this doesn't sound all that fascinating but it was truly the best summer I've ever had. I have to say that the seven people who this post relates to, are truly my family.

Though For The Day:
College Admissions Essay. Holy POOP! I can not think of what to say. I mean, it should be simple right? You just ramble on about yourself, making sure you spell things correctly and whatnot, until you're finished. Nope. Not happening. It's like I'm temporarily mute in the brain and can't think. IT'S SO DIFFICULT! I feel like doing taxes was easier than this. How do you talk about yourself without sounding completely conceded but still making yourself look good? Ugh. By the end of this, I will be insane.
Question: What do you see as the primary benefits of a college education, particularly at a Christian college like Northwestern, and what contributions do you hope to make to enrich the Northwestern community?
Answer: ???????
HELP!!

College Life
Thought for the day:
College life. A thing to be pondered. Yes, I am still a senior and not even close to graduation, but the time will come when I have to buckle down and finish filling out my applications. A frightening thought considering that the essays on those things are so dang difficult to fill out. I mean, what do you say?
Then of course, after turning those in, you have the possibility of not getting accepted. And if you do get accepted, you have to worry about financial crap, what major you want, who you're rooming with...JEEPERS! Sometimes it just seems easier to not go to college, but then you would miss so many opportunities. Not to mention the degree you'll get. A slip of paper signifying years of hard work.
The pros of college life: the people. Hands down, knowing that you'll meet some of the most important people of your life, just trumps everything that could possibly be bad about college.
So in conclusion:
BRING IT ON SENIOR YEAR...COLLEGE AWAITS!
