Day 30.
Changes! So many changes are happening right now.
Holy Damn. This semester has already changed so much from last semester. I know for a fact that if all this would have happened last semester I definitely would have broke down. Even being a little bit more mature than last semester this is still so hard to grasp. Everything is difficult but I know I can get through it with all my friends.
Today I was just thinking about how much everything has changed since last year. At this time last year my group of leaders and I were frantically making plans for Kairos and all of the candidates. Kairos is pretty much a week long retreat where the “candidates” get to see God through different aspects of life. For me that retreat was life changing the two different times I went on it. Once as a candidate myself and once as a leader. As a leader my perspectives were completely changed of people and social groups of the high school kids. There is something that just changes you when you hear raw emotions and hear how people over came their hardships maybe with or without God, but they found God some where along the way which is truly inspiring. But now here I am in college and things are so different. There are so many temptations to lead you away from God. So many of those things have lead me away from God and the person I was a year ago.
In other aspects my life has gotten so much better and more meaningful. There have bee so many amazing people to grace my life and make a difference. So here I am talking about C again. I don’t think I would have made it out of this week alive if it wasn’t for C, she sat and talked with me even when she shouldn’t have. When I didn’t want to talk to was just there to sit, when I needed to cry there she was to give me a hug and comfort me. There is something amazing about a friend like her. I always wonder why I was so lucky to get a friend like her but I am so glad that I have one like her. She is so amazing, C I love you.
Well moving on from that. I am so so excited for Ash Wednesday and I don’t even know why. This is the first time in my life that I will be celebrating Ash Wednesday, without going to a Catholic school or without other people that are Catholic. I know their will be Catholic people here on campus but I am glad that I have the courage to embrace my faith and put it out there.
Peace

Day 29.
This has been such an insane week of both classes and adventures. This week was filled with my crazy 17 credit classes, study sessions, labs and other random things. I even found time to work out at the ass crack of dawn and attend one of my best friends geography classes. It was this week I learned that this semester and my future is going to be crazy and hard but I also learned some quick time management skills. I can’t wait for all the crazy chem, bio and journalism lectures that will take place this semester. I am blessed that, for some reason I love every single one of my teachers they can keep me entertained the entire class period and it feels good to finally love what I learn and to be engaged in lecture. This semester certainly isn’t going to be easy but it is going to be a blast and I know for a fact if my three best friends are by my side it will only get better.
With the week almost over I hear the weekend calling my name and, its finally here. Not that this weekend will be fun because it won’t if anything it will be far from fun. So many papers, tests to study for and lab write ups to do. But there is always this sense of freedom and life on the weekend, people aren’t tied down with class, studying and other scholarly stuff but rather on the week there is so much more added to that list like movies, eating out, going to parties and what ever the average college kid find themselves doing. Here I am on this Saturday night and I find myself writing this post while watching Spongebob with one of my friends. Most of my hall is up in the mountains the weekend and the remainder of them are going to parties or something fun and legit.
Anyways this week well wow what a crazy week. This semester for a matter of fact has already been crazy I have just been a crazy one compared to last semester. I know though that this semester will be good and fun I just need to remember to stay focused and do my work. But I also need to remember to have a good time, I am only in college once.
This is probably going to be one of the most random blog posts anyone has ever seen/read but that is okay. So lately this week I have just felt lost and I am not sure why. I love all of my classes however I just feel lost, like I know what is happening in class and I understand it however I just feel like I am going through the motions. I don’t know why I just am going through the motions or I just feel lost however I just do. I am just glad that all of my friends are here with me, and I know that for after a while things will get much better and I will be more into what I am doing. I think it is one of the worst feelings to be just lost because at that point you really don’t know what to do or say that will make you feel better. Eventually everything will be fine again.
Well I am going to start posting again and this is the end of my random ass blog post! I love you all
Peace

Day 28.
What a long break this has been! Those forty days and nights are coming to a close and the first semester of college is now under my belt. After a rocky start to college and a list of does and don’ts I think am ready to start this next semester. There will definitely be things to change like my sleep schedule I some how survived on last semester, I think I went to bed every night at about 3am and woke up either at 7 or 11 the next day. Another thing I did poorly was how I decided to spend my down time, which usually consisted of killing zombies in a video game, watching movies, randomly going places, eating strange things humans shouldn’t consume and the few instances I stayed late in the library to do homework.
This is a new semester and I am glad to get another fresh start. Unlike last time I am ready to be away and focus on my school work, of course I will have a bit of fun on the side but school is my main priority. This semester I have goals to focus completely. I think it will be a hard thing to do because often time in class I find myself drifting off in a different direction and spacing out completely on the lecture, this semester I am going to try and change that. In everything I do whether work outs, class or even homework I will try to put my full effort and focus forth to make the best use of my time. One of the biggest things I am going to change is going to mass and allowing God to be a part of my life. I can’t wait for the semester to begin. Semester 2 come at me.

I know lately there have been a lot of religious posts. Sometimes I just need that extra bit of support from the Lord reminding me to keep my head up and fight forward.
Day 27.
I think the perfect words to describe today was expectation.
Sometimes I wonder about the stuff that goes through my brain, and it makes me feel terribly sorry for my friends sometimes. There comes a point in friendships when I wished instead of things getting complicated they would just be easier. I am not saying I am a good friend I am far from that and little things show me that. Tonight was a great example of one of those times I just flat out was a shit of a friend. Instead of just listening I didn’t, I was selfish and it was wrong. Sometimes I can be so stupid and I just take good things for granted some day I will learn not to do that, hopefully it will be soon. I think I have this horrible tendency to think that when I have done or thought something the other person has the exact same feelings as me, which is stupid because its just expected that they feel the same way. Sometimes those thoughts are the worse one because I don’t take the time to really understand what is what. Sometimes expectations can simply just let you down. An expectation is an assumption not the truth.
So for that one person I take for granted this is for you. Sorry I am selfish sometimes when I should be thinking about what I could be doing for you. I promise to be that friend who is there and I mean always there, when ever. If anything ever happened I know I would be there for you. Sorry for not listening when I should have I will work on that. I want to be a good friend to you and lately I just haven’t been. When you need that shoulder to cry on I will be here. I know things may not always be easy or like you can’t talk to me but I promise you can, I will listen.
On a lighter note never eat old corn bread, it may look fine but I insure you the taste is nothing like the fresh cornbread you once had.
Peace.

Day 26.
Its been a while since the last time I have posted on here, its probably because I haven’t had anything to share with the world. In this last week of inactivity I have got myself together and prepared myself for next semester. Next semester I personally think is going to be hell, and yes I know that is a bit dramatic. In other news today I decided to be a follower and I got a flu shot. Normally I don’t get flu shot because I just don’t really see the point in them but for some reason I just decided to get one. So $31.99 later I hope the crowd was right, here’s to not getting the flu.
Well these forty days of break have probably been some of the most uneventful in my life. There is something about this break that just didn’t scream amazing, maybe it was the extensive amount of days or maybe it was the lack of adventures. This break was flat out boring. Yes I did have my share of good fun days but those were rare. That sounds lame and well it is. Over this break I only got to see about half of my friends not all of them. Some even lived pretty close I just never saw them. It sucks not seeing your friends over break. But I am done complaining. I did see a lot of my friends from high school, none from college though. Seeing my friends from high school was so overwhelming and awesome. I never really realized how much I loved going to class with that group of awkward kids. They made each day so lively and fun. But one person in particular sticks out over break. Now like all my other friends I have talked about this far, she deserves a nickname and it is, O. O was/is my best friend from high school. O was truly amazing and she made my break awesome. If it wasn’t for her my break probably would have been a complete dud but instead it wasn’t. O would just randomly come over to my house to say hi or just to go be stupid, I missed that in my life. I wish we went to the same school but God probably did that so we would create too much trouble, he knew what was best for us and the innocent people that would have been around us. So thank you so much O for being the same friend you always were. I know that distance only made us be more mature which made our friendship that much better. I love you so much!
Over this break I have been able to experience the joys of being a bum. Yes I do workout practically every day but I was a major bum this break. The little things though, were the things that I really noticed this break. That crisp morning air hitting my face as I ran with my dog was always a highlight. Each run brought different things to make me smile, like how my dog one day literally pulled me the entire way, I am glad he did because I was feeling lazy that day, so I am thankful I have him to pull me along. I realized how peaceful and amazing reading is. Each book or even just a chapter throws you into this world that imagine, it lets you escape from reality and just experience the journey the author is portraying. Another amazing thing is music, I have really appreciated music. Each song continued to make my life’s soundtrack.
This break definitely wasn’t how I thought of it to be. It brought moments of sadness and moments of pure joy. This break brought an end to a friendship I never thought would have ended but it brought new beginnings with other people. This break has made me think, probably more than I should have but I think my brain is straightened up now. Like all things in life this break was life changing.
Peace
