just another manic monday

When I woke up this morning, I thought it would be just another Monday. I assumed I would wake up, groggier than normal, but still able to function. I assumed that I would go to my two classes and learn something so that I could become just a little bit smarter. I assumed that I would laugh with my roommates over stupid things, because that is just what we do. I assumed that I would text him all day and that everything would be great. I assumed that I would be experiencing just another Monday.

Instead I woke up this morning, groggier than usual, and not quite able to function. I went to my two classes but learned next to nothing, because I just wasn't in the mood to become smarter. I didn't laugh with my roommates because I have shut myself in my room the entire day, because I am not fit for human interaction. I watched Boy Meets World all day with my blanket covering both me and my laptop so that if someone walked into my room, I wouldn't have to see them and therefore talk to them. I did text him, but it didn't make everything great. When I woke up this morning, I didn't think I would be about to go a week or so without talking to my best friend.

 But it is okay. I have faith that things are happening for a reason, and that if I can push through these days when I don't want to move or get out of bed for whatever reason it may be, I will be happy in the end. I know that everyone has days like this and that I am not the only one. So I am going to stop feeling sorry for myself, because really, I have it pretty dang good. I am going to try to not let things bother me, and to learn to make the most out of every day I am given, because whether or not I choose to see it, there is something good in every day I live.

I am so glad I am paying for a college education.

Living with girls

Sometimes when you live in an apartment full of girls, you get frustrated because other girls aren't as 'whatever' about their appearance as you are. Sometimes you say you are going to leave between 5:30 and 5:40 for the football game and your roommate doesn't get in shower until 5:30 and then doesn't get out until 6:00. Sometimes the football game starts at 6:00 and you are still sitting at your computer writing a worthless blog post because your roommate still isn't done doing her hair, let alone getting started on her make up. Sometimes you want to start a revolution of girls who wear T-shirts and pony tails and minimal make up every day, because that means no being late to things. Sometimes it sucks living with girls.

On the upside...

Sometimes when you live in an apartment full of girls you stay up til 2:00 in the morning laughing about nothing, and freaking out when a boy has to sleep in your apartment because his roommate locked him out of his room.Sometimes you and your roommates sing Les Mis in hushed voices while you are making breakfast because there is a boy on the couch who you don't want to wake up. Sometimes you spend all day cleaning your apartment for the first time in three weeks, and then you feel so good about yourself and where you live.  Sometimes it isn't too terrible living with girls.

I swear I set my alarm...

Today I only had one class to go to. Nutrition; starting at 8:00 am ending at 8:50 am. And then my day was mine to do with what I wanted. Sounds easy right?
Nope. Somehow I managed to sleep through my alarm, and I didn't wake up 'til 9:45. I failed at the one thing I had to do today.
I am a pathetic excuse for a student!

Main Street

Today I found a cute little coffee shop that is attached to a used bookstore. It is safe to say that I really love it. I just want to sit in there always and drink coffee, even though I don't drink coffee. Although I do enjoy the occasional frappe...but I pretend that those don't have coffee in them. College is making me turn heathen. But if it is tasting that good, I almost don't care.
