A new beginning.

College is a funny place. 
When I first got here, I was so excited, yet so scared. Excited to be in Boston, scared to be away from everything and everyone I knew. I was running into this face first, alone for the first time. I knew absolutely no one except for an orientation roommate, and for someone who has always had a hard time meeting and opening up to new people, this was a challenge for me. But, I quickly adjusted and found a solid group of friends. The first month was good. I loved all of my classes, and I was always busy doing things. I had my friends and I had my new city, and I was happy. Jump to October, and that group of friends underwent some changes. It was a difficult month, but it all worked out for the better. I was experiencing more new things more than ever, and I was not going to let some misunderstandings get in the way of that. Things were hard, but I was happy, at least for awhile. Then things changed. I stopped going out. I stayed in my room all the time. I abandoned my friends and I stopped making an effort. I went to the occasional show and I would sporadically hang out with people, but not as much as before. In the beginning of the semester, I had the entire city at my feet, and within a matter of a month, it had all changed. It's the end of the semester now, and I can honestly say that I am the happiest and the saddest I have ever been. I love everything about this city and my major and this school, but I need to find people that make me happy. I need to get back to where I was at the beginning of this year. I'm changing for the better, but I need to be happy again. I plan on working on it.

I deleted all of my old entries from this journal. 
I plan on using this to tell stories. Nothing too personal though. That is what my livejournal is for. I have been meaning to write and observe more, so hopefully this serves that purpose. This will probably be full of ramblings and stories. Basically whatever I feel like saying. We'll see how this goes.

Life has it's ups and downs, and sometimes they happen at the same damn time.
I can completely relate to this:
"I am the happiest and the saddest I have ever been."
Keep your chin up girl, someday we'll get everything we've ever wanted.
