Tonight is the first night officially away from home. My dorm is all set up and probably the cleanest it will ever be, all my pictures are hung, and my pillows are strategically placed to compliment each other. I am ready for college. Today went nothing like I expected it to.
First off four of my friends were at my house before 7AM to see me off. Tiffany, Meredith, Hayley, and Jacob are awesome. Seriously. Anyways so as I was hugging their necks and waiting for the waterworks to begin...nothing. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a crier. I absolutely hate it, but I definitely cry at just about everything. But today pulling out of my driveway and waving as I watched my best friends fade away into the distance not a single tear fell. Weird. Then after spending two hours setting up my dorm and making Bed Bath & Beyond and Target runs, as I hugged my mom and grandma's neck, not a single tear! I don't get it. I guess this whole "being on my own" concept hasn't exactly set in yet.
I love my dorm. I love my new friends that I spent time with randomly today. I even love the peaceful quiet of my empty dorm room. Tomorrow my roommate, Hannah, moves in. She is an awesome Christian girl and I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for our friendship this year in Aggieland.
Today marks the beginning of the rest of my life and all I can think about is how amazingly blessed I am. I have a loving family, everything I could ever want/need for college, and some rockin new friends. The Lord provides! I'm so excited for this year! Thus begins my fairytale...
