I've got some troubles, but they won't last

I can’t believe I’m starting college in two days!!! What a new experience it’s going to be! I can begin to picture all of the changes that I’ll have to make, like showering in a communal bathroom and going to sleep in a foreign bed, but each of these changes stands in my mind as an individual entity and I can’t seem to put it all together. I know, factually and undeniably, that I’m going to be encountering a completely new lifestyle in a couple of days, but I can’t feel it yet. In my mind, I’m still a high schooler and I think part of the reason I’m unable to grasp this change is because I’ve been going back to the same school, the same teachers, the same courseload, the same friends (oh wait…not really…) for the past six years! Wow. It’s really been six years. Haha, I guess it is time for a change…

Although those new and exciting feelings in anticipation of change have yet to hit me, I have been feeling kind of sad lately. It’s the thought of leaving behind my family that really gets those tear ducks going. True, my family and I have had plenty of ups and downs these past 18 years, but it doesn’t change the fact that they’re my family. Going away to college means I won’t be able to see them everyday and, even though I know it’s not true, I feel like they’ll be gone from my life. My mom keeps telling me to come home every week and I keep telling her it probably won’t be possible, but right now I really hope I can. 

Today I went to visit the Newport mansions with my family. Talk about WOW! It was amazing. The architecture, the furniture, the paintings, the sculptures, the view, just everything about the mansions was breathtaking. Several times while taking the tour of the houses I found myself daydreaming about what life would be like in the gilded age in one of the Newport mansions. It really is such a picturesque and romantic place. I would say my favorite aspect of the houses were the magnificent dining rooms. They were decorated with gold, marble, glass chandeliers, intricate designs, statues, persian carpets, and paintings. Not a single extravagance was withheld in the decoration of these rooms and not a spot on the walls, floors, or ceilings left unadorned. 

I guess that’s all for today. It’s getting late and I’m getting sleepy. Just to conclude with a final thought “I’ve been trying my best but some things you just have to let go”. Goodnight!!

Things in life and other things in life

Have you ever felt like all bad things happen at the same time? Well I have. I bet at the start of each year, all of these bad things get together at some huge “Bad Things” convention where all they do is sip on pina coladas, eat gourmet sandwiches, and plan out the exact dates when they will all strike! I wish I knew where this convention was held. I bet its at some nice resort in the Caribbeans where they get 24 hour room service, pool side towel delivery, and lobster-night twice a week. Oh man if only I could crash their stupid convention. I’d throw their pina coladas onto the ground, step on their towels, and steal all of their lobster!!!

My mom bought these cheese crackers from Costco (I feel like I’m always talking about my mom and Costco…) and on the label it says:

“Crackerfuls

Four cheese

natural flavors with other natural flavors”

…wtf is that supposed to mean? Natural flavors with other natural flavors?? So basically it means they add natural flavors to … more natural flavors?? So then why couldn’t they just say “Chock full of natural flavors” or “Filled to the brim with natural flavors” or “Natural flavors to the infinity!!” or my personal favorite “Made with all natural flavors”. Advertisement these days…

Something else that was on my mind: relationships. A year ago, my friend and I had a conversation about relationships and it went something like this:

Friend: “Why is it that when people break up, they just stop talking to each other?”

Me:  ”Uhhh…cause that’s just how relationships go…?”

Friend: “Well it shouldn’t be like that. I mean, mathematically speaking, when you’re in a relationship, you reach a maximum level of closeness with your girlfriend/boyfriend. When you break up, you should at least be able to exist at the average level of closeness. There should be no reason for the closeness potential to disappear completely. The fact that you were able to produce closeness at the maximum level at some point with that other person means that you should still maintain some fraction of the amount of closeness you once had.”

Me: O___O…uh….

Looking back, my friend was totally right. If at one point in your life you could connect with someone on so close a level that you would enter the rites of relationship with them, then afterwards, there should still be some existing connection….right?
