scribbles, revelations, and rants

My sound-off board. For anyone that may care enough to read, and if nobody does, then I'm cool with it. Mindy Kaling stole my ideal idea.

i'm sorry all, but finals leave no time for blogging in alex's schedule.

but here i am, taking a study break. a week from now i'll be back home on long island, which is nice. i'm ready to be done. all my friends are home and i'm hearing about hangouts and whats going on, and i get jealous and sad. i want to be there with them. i miss my friends so much.

but at the same time, it's so sad and so...odd...that my freshman year is finished already.

things that I've learned since september:
- long distance relationships can work if both parties are truly dedicated. loving eachother is reason enough not to just give up.
- no matter where you go or how old you get, there are always those who continue to act like they're in high school
- taking a shit in a public bathroom isn't really as humiliating as i thought it would be
- the same people who refuse to go to class when its raining are the same people who will walk through a blizzard on the weekends in order to get to the alcohol
- my parents will never get over me being away and they'll never...ever...stop missing me

if i had to pick one favorite memory of this year, i wouldnt be able to think of an answer on top of my head.
