A New Beginning

It's that time of year again. The start of a new school year. For some reason, I always have this nostalgic feeling right around the time high school is starting (even though I'm no longer in high school). I have no idea why, really. I just love the feel of getting those shiny new school supplies (even though they aren't quite as fun once you have to start using them), the receipt of a new class schedule, seeing friends again...

This is also the time of year when my friends start moving back to their respective colleges. This is the part that always bums me out like no other. You see, for the past year (well, year and half counting this semester) I have been taking online classes. Why? Well, let's just say my family thought that we would be moving (once it was Atlanta, recently is was Tampa) and so I figured if I took online classes, I could just pick up and leave and then transfer to a college in whatever city we were living in at the time. Well unfortunately that hasn't happened, and once again I am stuck because now instead of moving to Tampa, there is a possibility that we may be staying right where we are. I know. I just need to pick somewhere to go and suck it up. But for me, it isn't quite that easy. As the summer is coming to an end, however, I am becoming increasingly impatient about attending an actual college again. Have any of you ever seen the movie Tangled? You know... The one about Rapunzel? Well, while I can't say that I have long blonde hair and that people can climb it, I can say that I'm starting to know how she felt being stuck in that tower all her life with no friends and nowhere to go.

Taking online classes isn't all bad, I suppose. It's just that for me, this is the loneliest thing I could imagine doing. I mean, all of my friends have already left town. I'm home alone all day. I don't really go anywhere during the day because I'm usually doing homework. Alright... I'm starting to sound like I'm just feeling sorry for myself. Which I kind of am. But this happened last year, too.

Maybe another reason that this year is particularly depressing for me is that this is what would have been my senior year. Yeah. Bummer.

But as with anything... there is always a silver lining. Once I figure out what that is, I'll let ya know. I'm still trying to figure it out myself.

But right now I have a little bit of studying to do (and locating a lost textbook. Yeah... I might need that). There will be a new blog post in the next day or two. Since I haven't written here in a while I will just say as a reminder: I never know what I'm going to talk about on here. I might talk about movies, or books, or clothes, or makeup, or I might even ramble like this post. It just depends. It's like a fun surprise that blows out confetti and glitter when you open it (I'll just have to figure out how to get confetti and glitter to blow out of your computer monitor without damaging it first). So stay tuned. Until then-- Signing off!
