Reflection

WELL, thanksgiving went by wayyyy tooooo quicklyyyy.
Home was a-mazing! Saw the dolls, of course, and took some AWESOME photos. Saw the fam, the boyfriend, and my bed which were much needed.

Thanksgiving in a nut shel:
I helped my dad cook a 30lb turkey for 20 people on Thanksgiving. Raw poultry scares me. All I can think of are the bacteria (I know, weird). I think I washed my hands 40 times while prepping the turkey. Aside from cookie, I just relaxed with the fam. We always go to my mom's side and hang with the cousins and such. Very relaxing and warm...and delicious. I ate way too much food, but that's expected on Thanksgiving.

It's always hard to leave home to go to school. The whole college process yielded an experience very different than I expected. I love Boston, but I wish I asked more questions about the specific schools I applied to.I think the education I am getting at Brandeis is very good, but it's not the experience I thought it would be. I love the people I've met, don't get me wrong, but I should have been more thorough in my research.

If I had one piece of advice for everyone, it would be to keep an open-mind; don't let the current excitement dictate an impulsive action. I didn't think I would get into college (which was a stupid thought) so I jumped at the first opportunity. Think things through, ask questions even if they seem super dumb. In my wise age, everything is about the future: where we're going with our lives, what we are pursuing, and with whom. Our decissions now affect our future, and as much as we don't want to grow up it's going to happen anyway. Oh, life, how I despise thee sometimes.

Until next time, young grass hoppers,
