I miss home ..

Life seriously just got real. Last wednesday I got on a one way plane trip to go 2000 miles away from home to start a new adventure called COLLEGE. This last week has been really hectic and crazy with trying to settle into my ridiculously small dorm room to figuring out how to ride public transportation to get out of the circle of college students. Literally as I walk out of my "treehouse" all you can see is health professionals or college students wearing their school lanyards. The fashion here is so much different from back home. Sperrys, NorthFace, and Victoria Secret yoga pants seem like the only pieces of clothing in these people's closets. I feel like with my California style I stick out like a pin in a haystack, but I guess that has good and bad points to it. At night time all I hear are college students talking and emergency sirens going back. (one of the negatives of going to school in a medical community; HEHE but good thing I am a deep sleeper) I absolutely love my roommate and get along with her so well. She is totally the opposite from me but somehow we seem to mesh our personalities very well and I am very thankful for that. I started class yesterday and I can't say that I love college just yet. It seems like regular school to me so yeah .. LOOL Although going on Boston adventures, meeting new friends, and going to various amounts of social events is crazy fun, I still have all of my family and friends in the back of my mind every day. I didn't realize how much I relied on my family and friends to keep me sane and happy. I wouldn't say I don't like being independent, but leaving everyone back home was probably the hardest thing that I had to do in my whole life, especially my mom. I miss California weather, food, and all the people back home. Just be thankful for the many things your friends and family have done for you because when the time comes for you to be independent and realize what you don't have anymore, it will be too late to appreciate it. But thank god for FaceTime, ichat, and texting. I can't wait until December to come faster! Meanwhile, I am going to try my best to do well in college with my awesome new friends and try to post more blogs .. LOL we'll see :)
