A few things

It's been a while since I posted anything about my life (note the lengthy gap from my last post on my old blog and my previous one), and its halfway though my first year of college...so I figured I'd do a quick overview of how everything is going and what major events happened first semester here. I'll write another post next about this semester so far. So last semester...

First semester of college was definitely an experience.

Academics
I didn't do as well as I had hoped academically, but it was mostly because of economics. It was by far the hardest class I had ever taken. I was considering an economics minor prior to taking Econ51...now I'm not so sure.

Activities
Freshman Delegate for Society of Women Engineers, Intramural Flag Football, Intramural Soccer, Admissions Ambassadors, Inferno

Social
I must say I was pleasantly surprised. In high school I always felt like the tag-a-long, or the one that was there but never actually "there." Maybe because it was just first semester, but for once I actually felt like I belong. I've met amazing people and have incredible friends. Caroline (my roommate), Nicholle (who lives across the hall from me), and I just click. We did almost everything together first semester and are always there for each other. For my birthday they planned this whole kidnapping scheme where they picked me up (with the help of a few other people), carried me across the quad to Bassett, then up the stairs to Nick and Chris's room where they had a light show and music playing. As frightening as it was to be covered in a blanket and carried across campus, I was so touched and happy to call them my best friends. Speaking of best friends, I surprisingly became really close to Victor (Bailey's brother). Honestly when I found out we would be going to the same school, I figured we'd see each other once in a while and just be friendly towards each other. I didn't have any classes with him and saw him maybe only a couple times during the first month of school. Now, he's right up there with Caroline and Nicholle!

Relationships
Going into college I was in a relationship with Conor. As much as I loved him, things just started going downhill. I know he changed and was trying to make things work after what he did last year, but at times it just seemed suffocating. He always gave off this impression that he didn't trust me, and would seem to get really disappointed when he heard I was going out...but it was perfectly okay for him to go out. Me going out was just hanging out with my friends and dancing usually too, while his included massive fraternity parties with girls apparently constantly trying to hook up with him. I don't know, he just seemed to get really cocky and give off a douchebag vibe once school started again. It didn't help that when he came to visit, he went and got completely trashed at a tailgate, yelled at me in public, and was a complete jerk to all my friends either. He also got very upset that I didn't go out with him that weekend and put myself in a position that I had to be taken care of. How ridiculous is that? Either way, things weren't working out so we broke up. Less than two weeks later he asks me on advice about possibly asking another girl out. Not wanting to be the crazy psycho ex-girlfriend, I gave him my blessing. To that he was insulted that I wasn't upset. So, I gave him upset. To that he was like "Woah, woah, woah, calm down. Why are you so upset?" (Facepalm) Two weeks later I notice that he is now in a relationship with this girl, so congratulations to him. Two weeks later he tells me that hes nervous because he is meeting her father that week. I told him that seemed a little soon, after all it had only been two weeks...To that he told me it had actually been over a month. Really. In addition to that a few weeks later he needs help picking out a Christmas present for his new girlfriend...and guess who needs to help? Yeah. I mean now I'm okay with everything and I'm happy for him and his new girlfriend, but honestly any normal people who knows what happened  with us would have probably thought we were in a poorly written soap opera.

I think that pretty much covers first semester...
