A fresh start?

So I've decided to give blogging another go. Perhaps it will fail as my study abroad blog did (whoops), or maybe it'll go strong for a few years, as my high school blog did. We'll see. Blogging is quite therapeutic and maybe in these next few months I'll need a lot of therapy. I'm sitting alone in my room on a Friday night while all my friends are partying up campus because I'm the college's biggest grandma. Or because I had the roughest night ever last night and I want to recuperate. To put it as nicely as I can, I took four hits too many and puked all over the Kimmel Center. Shit, I know. Not my classiest moment. In fact, one of my worst moments ever. Ugh, I don't need to remind myself. Although I did have the CRAZIEST dreams during the first half the performance. But still not worth it.

There was a school-sponsored senior party tonight in the dining center. After coming back from abroad I realized that I knew no one at my school anymore, but being in the dining center with everyone in my class really made me feel like I was home. These are the kids that I've been at school with for the last 3.5 years and these are the kids I'm graduating with - in six months. Blows my mind a little bit. Once I graduate I'm never going to have as strong as a community as I have here at Haverford. On election night we were all crammed into my friend's common room watching a tiny television, eating cookies, drinking beer, and then when Obama was declared the winner, the entire school poured out of the dorms and had a party in the street. Only one word can describe that moment: A-FUCKING-MAZING. And that doesn't even do the whole night justice, but for me, that night WAS COLLEGE. This is what college is about. Not exams, essays, gpas, or internships. College is about blowing off those exams and essays to get wasted when America elects the first black president. We made history. And where was I when we made history? Not writing my paper due the next day. I was getting drunk and having a party in the street. YES.

And now I'm going to bed.
