This is my 100th post! Cool.

So what have I learned? College is just like high school in many ways. Jocks kind of stuck together, Greeks stick together, etc, but in the end, since everyone is so much of a blend of many groups, we all end up crossing paths at some point.

Stupid school fights still happen. Middle school drama is common. We still complain about the caf food and our feelings have not changed about homework. You never have to tell a college student twice to relax and enjoy a break twice.

We hardly ever sleep, we live by coffee (Starbucks makes a killing off of college students.)

College is full of friends that later become family. Professors are cooler than ever. Its cool to hang with your professor at Christines while having tutoring with them. (They seem to have more of a life than high school teachers.)

It is still about fancy toys for some people. Dating is a sport for some people like in high school. Although, I find school spirit a lot stronger in college than in high school, which I really like.

So what is good about college? I like that I can be myself. I don’t have to pretend to fit in. We have all kinds of groups, individuals from all over the world, tons of cultures under on roof, and seem to always find a way to laugh. What I love most is my freedom. Although, it is a blessing and a curse. Humans tend to not look at the downside of some things. I had to grow up a lot since graduation. No one is forcing me to go to class. Now I have to make myself get up in the mornings. I have to make sure I eat the right food. It is a lot of unexpected responsibility. Money is a concern a lot of the time. Sometimes college students forget that money doesn’t grow on trees. It has something to do with the new found freedom. Even responsible students sometimes forget.

Blasting music may not make the person living next door very happy. It can be hard to get alone time. There are always people everywhere.

Then there is the fact that college is not for everyone. People drop out, or their parents take them home since they are not ready. Its ok to not be ready. Its better to leave and be happy, than be depressed and endanger yourself by being in a bad environment for yourself.

At the moment, I am pissed off with some one. I will confront them later. Right now its the middle of the night. I just did not like how some one talked to me tonight and it was not right. Or maybe I will sleep it off…

I am looking forward to going home. I cannot wait! Just a few more days. A few more hours! YES!!!!

I just got this email on my Lynn email account, and now I am very confused! My brain is getting mixed signals! I still have a test today and an English class to go to, but it says that there are no classes! Is anyone else confused???

There are no classes this week. Classes resume Monday Nov 26. Have a Happy Turkey and remember what goes on must come off!!!!!

I thought I had class today but I found out that it was library day and we all turned around and went to breakfast. Half the class is in here having breakfast.

Oh well, I better get moving. I have to study for my biology test in an hour!

It seems everything on campus that had food was closed. I kept missing the caf and the Knights Court was closed all weekend. What the check is up with that? Christine’s is always closed on weekends.

Cristina and I ended up having to go out to eat.

Oh and I went to see Beowulf with Eric in 3D. It was  awsome! I loved it. We saw raccoons! There was a family of them and the baby was behind me peaking out from behind a box curious about me and Eric who were equally as curious. There was like three or four. It was so cool. They were hanging out around the green center.

Lynn is perfect for nature lovers. You might have to look for it but its there. Fish, birds, raccoons, turtles, etc. Just open your eyes and look around Lynn.

Being a biology major helps. Professor Villa makes it easy to see all the natural wonders around Lynn and Boca.

I just had breakfast with Carlos. It seems that once a week, since we have class at 9 - 9:50, by the time we get out of class we are hungry and end up having breakfast together. I like it because its right after class so we talk about what we just learned or what ever happened that was crazy in class that day. Today we talked a lot about our families and when we were growing up.

Its just a simple thing that happens once a week it seems, which brings great joy to my non- morning mood. Plus, breakfast is great since not many people are there and I can order stuff fresh. Its something nice that I hope we can some how work out for next half of this fast moving school year!

I have my advising meeting today to pick out my classes. Yes! I am so excited!

Got to go! I have bio right now and I have a test! Don’t want to be late for that!

I went to the basketball game last night. ( I forgot to post it…. ooops!) I loved it. I was screaming and cheering for Lynn.

There were moments when I would cock my head and was like damn! That was cool. They were fast and smooth with some good moves.

I love the guys in suits that were on the bench! It was great. (they looked great, well… the whole team looked great, but I think I am totally just a huge basketball fan.)

Then there was the dance team and the cheer team. Both had some nice moves. I saw a lot of my sisters out there. I even saw a few BSU members on the court dancing.

I had no clue what I was missing for weeks! Damn! I can’t wait for the next home game of any sport. I better find Gene and ask him when the next men’s basketball game is at home.

Freshmen 101 tip: Watch the sporthing events. If you are a big fan of one of them, check out the teams and find out when they are playing. Its also a great way to meet new people. A future love interest perhaps? Lynn students have a great sense of school spirit.

From what I remember of the game from last night, number 4 had a great shot, and I think it was number 12 that has some fancy foot work going on which was pretty cool to watch.

For the past two weeks, I have been having a hard time getting up for my classes that are in the morning. I am starting to show a few minutes later and later each class.

I love  my sociology class, I just wish It was not so early in the morning! We have so much fun in my class. We discovered a new meaning to “Who’s your daddy?” Woody Allen anyone? lol. Nicole is mad crazy with her side comments. A few classes, she’s almost brought me to tears from laughter.

Now we are talking about what makes a marriage, and how to raise children. No names, but some one said that they had cordless phones thrown at them and remotes to the TV. It was funny the way he said it, but its a sad truth. Our professor asked which one of us were spanked and then asked us to tell our stories. I love how we get to give so much imput in this class. I learn so much just from my classmates.

I was just trying to download a TV show from Itunes when it kept telling me the that the zip code was wrong. I was like what the, no its not, stupid Itunes.

Well thank goodness for Itunes or I would have found out way to late that my account has been hacked! I am so upset, but thankful that I can do something about it tomorrow morning. Its got some crazy address in it. I want to know how this happened and I want it fixed right away.

I called my mother and told her, we ended up yelling at each other about who knows what. We just were grouchy and arguing a lot.

I am now thankful for my school account. When I got it, I was like, I already have an account, this is stupid. I don’t need another one. Well lookie here! It comes in handy! My school account is all nice and safe right now.

It totally freaked me out of my mind at first. Why was my address some crazy address? My mother was yelling at me to change the address on one of my other accounts that I don’t even remember having 98% of the time. I don’t even know when I got this account, blah blah blah, we fought about it for about 10 minutes. What ever, I am going to change the things and hope that my accounts are safe from now on!

It rained today, and well, I am still warming up from it! I am all rapped  up in my covers to keep warm. I my whole English class was soaking wet today from the rain. I just hope none of us get sick from it. The floor was covered in puddles of water that it became to dangerous to walk around the room.

I hate mondays. Seriously.

I am locked out. I was rushing this morning, running late, finding the trash bags and I forgot my keys. Now I am locked out. I am cranky, and locked out.

Gabrielle is still MIA and so I have no clue if she’s going to classes today. I hope so, maybe she can bring me my keys, or allow me to borrow hers to just get mine.

Err. I just hate the idea of being locked out!
