Green, Purple, and Blue Wigs

College life is somewhat different from what I ever expected. For one, I ended up deciding that it was best for me to attend a community college, second, it's easier than I thought (at least for now), and third, turns out it's harder to make friends in a community college since, after classes we all leave ready for our next "thing" we have to get to or accomplish, and in my classes most of the students are older people in their 40s, 50s, and even 60s! Not to offend the more mature crowd, but I kinda need friends that are closer to my age, even though my friends always end up being older than me anyway.

I've been spending a lot of time in school lately, since I crashed my precious new used car ( I LOVED THAT CAR!). I have the grand priviledge of rising super early in the morning to drop my sister off at school and my mother at work, so I then have a way to get to school, super early that is. In the time that I have before my classes start, I have more time to think, which is not always a good thing, and more time to look at the types of different people that exist on this campus. Acting like a true high school, CLC has as many cliques as stars in the sky, ranging from sophisticated fashion blogger to sexually confused, green, purple, and blue wig-wearing individual. I have to say I'm rarely ever bored, which brings me to say that one of these specific cliques, which  I have had the not-so-pleasant pleasure of seeing is the Too Weird To Belong Anywhere Else clique. These guys and girls, I don't think have found themselves yet. One day I can see them wearing costumes, like cat ears and a fluffy tail, when it's not even Halloween or close to it, and the other they're screaming their guts out in the caffeteria just to get some attention. Although I find it tremendously obnoxious, I think their second mission in this world, other than being understood, for once, is to be a pain in our derrièer. On that note, I think it's safe to say that I may not have gotten to live a full-on dorm, jock, and partied up college life, but who's to say I'm not having fun? College life for me has just begun! And I don't intend on wasting it!

Life And Other Delicious Things!

The dawn of a new year is soon approaching and so I have proposed to myself to live a more delicious life in the year to come. Delicious? Yes, delicious. For such a long time I have let myself go into the darkest places and gone under a cloud of what I call "blahness." But not anymore, I am determined to live my life as "pinkaliciously" as possible, making every moment a meaningful one...even if it is being home alone watching re-runs of the housewives. How is it that possible when all we see in our daily lives is chaos? Well, if we fix our eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2), we can move foward and make the best out of our lives because we are not distracted by what the world is going through, but where Jesus is leading us. And I'm not oblivious to the fact that life is not always "color de rosa," I am aware of reality; it wouldn't be wise to block things out as if they didn't exist, but as long as I can slip on and slip off my pinkalicious glasses and am ready to take on life, I am certain that it can only get more delicious as time goes on.
