College On Fast Forward

It's been a while since I've wrote in here and so much has happened I don't even know where to begin. For starters, I'm almost four weeks in to my first college semester and things are pretty good actually. Although it started rough I've met some awesome people, friends and potential boyfriends.

I met this guy but things just didn't ever seem to work out. It seemed to be only a physical thing and I had to break things off. But, in reality, that's probably one of the smartest decisions I've made in a while. I wasn't prepared for that to happen, especially this soon into college life but it did. Maybe I made some mistakes in the end but there's nothing I can do about it now.

I actually considered moving dorm halls but in the end I decided to stay. My floor mates proved to me that they really do care. They accept me for who I am and are going to protect me if I ever need them to. I know in this case that I made the right choice because now I am happier than ever. My roommate Justin and I even have bunk beds!

The main reason I posted a new blog is because I'm starting a project for my HEA 285 class and my plan is to learn to deal with stress better. In the past, blogging was always a good stress reliever, so expect many more of these in the future.

After the whole 'relationship' with semi-psycho, I began questioning myself more than usual. My indecisiveness was a factor in the 'split' and I keep wondering if maybe I expect too much. Just maybe, I'm waiting for someone who doesn't really exist. Or maybe I was right to end it now before things got any more out of hand. I guess I won't know for a while if what I did was right.

But I have to wonder: How long does it take before you know you made the right choice? And if you don't, how can you make it better?

All I know right now is that I'm changing right before my own eyes for the better. I'm learning to stand up for myself and to communicate effectively, because without that, your friendships/relationships/whatever, will not work.

So there you have it, my first few weeks of college, in a nutshell. And if this is just the first four weeks, there's so much more excitement ahead. Let's just hope I can get a chance to breathe every now and then!
