I can't believe freshman year is almost over. College is moving about a million times faster than high school did. High school felt like the perfect pace. Every year was memorable, new experiences, old friends, new people, improvements, accomplishments, setbacks, learning, making mistakes-just perfect. It ended in time. It ended in perfection. If the perfectness of senior year had continued, I feel like it would have been too perfect. It was just the amount of perfect that I needed to be ready for college. Some people say high school went by too quickly. Some say too slowly. I think it went by exactly how it should have. On graduation day, I felt like I had lived it all. To the fullest.
Freshman year did not go this quickly in high school. Perhaps it is because classes aren't every day... perhaps it is because weekends are full of track meets. Perhaps it's because I came a semester late (haha, probably), but time just moves so quickly. It's already Wednesday. How did that happen?! I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that college, although COMPLETELY different, is a continuation of what you did in high school. High school is when you are exploring new things (track and music for me) and new people (boyfriends and best friends) and basically yourself. In college, you already have more of a sense, and as much as you are exploring, people usually continue on to do the things they have learned to love in high school. We search for people like those we made strong bonds with in high school. In this way, college is not as new of an experience as high school. It really isn't. At least not for me. It's completely different, of course, but it's moving so quickly.

Everytime I get back to this I promise myself I will keep it up for a while. Never works. Here is another go, but maybe its just one of those things I keep periodically.
Recap on 2008:
Jan: birthday party was awkward but nice, wouldnt PDA with matt in school, nervous but done with college apps
Feb: best month with matt and generally really fun; amazing Valentines day
March: skiing utah, being distant
April: got into Berkeley and other schools, broke up, depressed
May: APs, Prom, Nick, new groups of friends
June: partying, graduation, loved it, argentina
July: argentina, lacey, paulina, parties, friends
August: relaxing, preparing, stressing, ready but nervous
September: enthusiastic, was a good student for a week, started paying attention to Alex, rushed sororities<- huge freakout
October: parents visited, Alex and I first kiss and started hooking up regularly, fell in with some friends, parents weekend and home for halloween; alissa and fletcher visitations
November: alex and i are official and awkward, thanksgiving with arkasha, chem is hard and overconfident about econ, pledge AOPi, got close with roommate cat
December: alex and i come back and are really into each other and going so well, finals and grades; Chem= A-, Anthro= A, Econ=B, gpa 3.56; made some solid friends not sure if i actually like them though; need to make new
6 Days into january: miss alex alot (he is in the caribbean) but there are still some uncomfortable things I notice but they are getting better as we get closer, I am excited for next semester- need to work hard academically and try to be more involved with AOPi. Loren is here :)
miss you and this
random memory: one time lacey posted this journal entry with a personal quiz that I didnt like but she didnt sign her name so I edited and signed it for her so no one though i did it and we got in a fight. i love you and good luck tomorrow girl

Romeo, take me
somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting
all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince
and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
baby just say Yes.
Romeo save me
they're tryin' to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid
we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a life story
baby just say Yes.
