One year of college is over and done with. I’ve changed so much, but they’re all positive changes.  I love college so much – I have been home for only a few days and I already miss it dearly.  I just miss the peace and quiet – I miss sitting at night in my dorm room with the window open, listening to the river and the birds, and the sounds of the frogs croaking for mates.  I guess that’s why I love Biology.

But I have changed so much as a person.  I like to call it ‘entering womanhood.’  I was young and naive, and I thought I could have life handed to my on a platter – now I know that is not true, and I have to work hard everyday.  I used to push myself aside and focus on everyone – now I know how to balance myself and my friends, which is something I could never do.  I realized there were times I bitched and moaned about my workload, and my hard times, and looked around me and people were going through so much worse.  I don’t take anything for granted anymore.  Every new day is a blessing that I am so grateful for.

Anyway, I’ve become addicted to PostSecret.  Some of the secrets posted on there make me cry, some make me smile, but all that I have seen so far impact me.  I wish more people would read these secrets – some that you read will truly make you thankful for what you have.  Some secrets are so wonderful to read – they’re the good in the world people search for day in and day out.  You read of unemployed citizens finding money and donating to charities instead of spending it, you read of people changing someone’s life.  Something so simple impacts me so much… it doesn’t really take much to make me happy.  PostSecret reminds me there are good people in the world – that, even in a world full of lies, anger, war, and devastation, good can still prevail.  Thank you PostSecret.

In other news… I love standing up for people, animals… things.  I’ve taken a stand for something that is very important to me: my country.  I have been tirelessly campaigning for a presidential candidate.  I have never once been so excited for a cause.  I am happy to say I am a ‘Ron Paul Conservative,’ and that my first presidential vote will be for Ron Paul.  My conscience will be clean; I am not voting for a ‘lesser’ of two evils, because even a lesser of two evils is still an evil.

And I will leave you with this (quick plug for Apple!):
