Shall we start this crazy adventure that I call my life? I do believe so.
We'll start at my current location: I'm sitting in my dorm room on my comfy purple butterfly chair. The window is open wide allowing the night breeze to tickle my bare legs. My long blond hair pulled over my right shoulder as Anarbor blares from my hunter orange headphones. My room is dimly lit, but only because the school is too cheap to place another light on the opposite side of the room, where my bed and desk just happen to be located.
Earlier today I was walking on the sidewalks of my college (which I'll leave nameless) taking in my surroundings. My peers milling around me, some with headphones in their ears blocking out the world around, and kids in groups chattering happily. I will confess, I'll always have my headphones plugged into my ears. I don't do it because I choose to ignore the world around, but because I enjoy the music and meaning behind the lyrics. Occasionally when I'm in a decent mood and the music is catchy enough you'll see me sway my non-existent hips to the music as I saunter down the dirt paths as if it's my own runway. I'll be tapping my right hand against my thigh to the beat, and a smile will sometimes start at the corners of my mouth.
Though I'll have to admit that between classes are the only times that I'm truly happy at this place. I don't really understand what's so great about college. I went into it with high hopes, but only because that's what people had gushed about; that it was worth my time, I'll make loads of amazing friends.. Yadda, yadda, yadda. This isn't what I signed up for, if I had come into this place knowing that it was just like high school hell, but worst then I at least could have prepared myself. I could have mentally gotten myself ready for the hell I would endure, but no one was kind enough to share that lovely fact with me.. No one.
Life is easy: I love how simple that was for me to write. Too bad it's easily said then done. :)
