Time goes by...

...so freaking fast! I can't believe it's already the end of October. Where has this year gone??

I guess you could tell that I've been super busy with school. Things just keep piling up and it's starting to get really overwhelming. I feel like I'm hanging on to my sanity by my hookah hose. It's definitely been tough, but I'm so close to the end of this semester that I can't quit now!

New guy and I decided to just be friends. We're both super busy (me with school, him with baseball). I was actually really relieved to have that off my plate. I don't think I could handle much more of anything after these past couple of weeks.

I got to visit my best friend of all time a few weeks ago. I haven't seen him since March, so it was really nice to get together and catch up. I finally got to hang out with some Middle Eastern people. I felt right at home!

I went back to AnyTown last weekend for my fraternity initiation. I had soooo much fun reconnecting with all of my brothers and sisters. I came to the realization how alone I feel in NewTown and I did NOT want to leave Anytown! I cried almost the whole way home. I know I don't have much longer till I can move back to the big city, but Spring 2013 seems like an extremely long time right now.

I made some new friends this week, too. I went to my friend's hometown and met all of her crew and they really opened up to me, which was such a huge surprise. I have never felt so accepted since I moved to NewTown. I really hope I get to see them more often. It's really cool to see a group of friends that are as tight knit as my fraternity family is. Good to know there's still a lot of love to give out there =]

I've been feeling homesick lately (if you can't already tell). It's still really hard being here without all my old friends. I try my hardest to keep in contact with them, but sometimes texting just doesn't cut it. I need to get a job so I can go visit more often. I really thought I'd be able to walk away and cut everyone/everything off, but it hasn't been quite that easy.

Wise words of the post:

"He who plants thorns must never expect to gather roses." Don't ever think that getting on people's bad side will get you anywhere. Creating enemies will never do you any good. One might think that having enemies and doing everything you can to live better than them and make sure they know it is the way to go, but it'll only come back to bite you in the butt. There's wayyyy better things you could be using your energy on.

On another note, please please please be careful when partying this weekend. Know your limits, and if someone you know gets sick, DO NOT hesitate to get them some help. You don't want to be attending a funeral because you didn't want a friend to get mad at you for taking them to a hospital. I want all of you reading my next post!

This is me, and I'm just alive.
