This picture is from my first semester in college. tonight, my roommate and i had a conversation about how far we've come since then. i remember at least once a week going out with our "friends" and living a life that i shouldn't have been. i never went crazy like some people do in college, but i had my fair share of drinking and hooking up with boys who shouldn't have mattered. all i cared about was living life by my rules, getting away from my parents, and getting a boyfriend, no matter what kind of guy he was. christmas break changed all of that for me when my best friend collin confessed that he had feelings for me, and we decided to be more than friends. he challenged me spiritually, and reminded me of who i was supposed to be living for. this semester has looked much different for me. all i really do is watch tv or do homework. i kind of feel like a grandma sometimes, but then i remember how much better i feel about my life now. all my guilt is gone, and i'm finally focused on the things that i want to be for the rest of my life. the memories from my first semester at etsu will never go away, but the lifestyle did, and i love being able to see a difference in myself, and know that i've done a little bit of growing up.
