"welcome to college"

college started at move-in, which was exactly a week and one day ago.

so far? it's been interesting, and i can say that because, unlike high school, my judgement hasn't been crowded by the expectations i see in movies and in pop culture. it's just... been. i've met cool people, i've met girls who play dumb, i've met girls who drink until they black out every night. i've met stupid boys, boys with tattoos and big muscles, boys whose clothes are oddly color-coordinated. i auditioned for choir on a whim, i listened to the same playlist over and over again, i went without showering, i went without air conditioning. i showed up to a class 15 minutes late because i got the timing messed up.

i wondered if i was doing the right thing- should i be socializing right now? should i be working out? partying?

then the judgement of my own interests became apparent: who decides what's cool or what i should be doing? WHO SAYS IM NOT PERFECT? (Thanks, Selena.)
