College = Hellas

So its official... I am a COLLEGE STUDENT. Crazy huh? Im sitting in my dorm room during one of my many breaks. It is quite nice. Im really loving Truman. I never knew how great freedom could feel. I love being independent and making my own decisions. From here on out I get to do what I want to do. I get to study what I want when I want. I love being able to control what happens next. Its such a new and exhilarating experience. Today I was actually excited to get out of bed at 7 and go to my Bio class at 830. My room mate Jen and my suite mates Kathleen and Michelle are basically amazing. Its only our second day together and we already have had some crazy times. I cant wait to see whats still to come. No matter how much I love it here, I still miss being home. Its hard to wake up and realize I cant just hop in my car and go to Vlasis to swing. I miss you all terribly. Hopefully, Ill be busy enough that the homesickness will subside. You all know youre always welcome to come visit me! We WILL find space for you in our tiny room. So please please please visit me! Ill show you all around the 'Ville. Good times. My cell is still good but you can also reach me on my dorm phone, email, snail mail, and of course facebook.....

Would I be out of line if I said "I miss you"?

Chocolate Sauce War = hellas. Ive never felt so disgusting and had so much fun. Too bad Im going to smell like chocolate and maple syrup for days.

Im sorry that I had you whip creamed in the face. I was out of line.

It was strange seeing you today. Believe it or not I really miss you. I probably shouldnt say that...

 I hope you had fun today. I know things are changing quickly, but we'll survive. We just have to keep our chins up.

Im going to miss you when you leave.

I leave Sunday. I know its my time to go but Im not ready to say goodbye....

I hope everyone has an amazing first day of school.

Yay for vague entries that arent really vague.

I love you all.

I dare you to love me....

Do you believe in true love? Love at first sight? Unconditional love that surpasses all obstacles?

Call me a hopeless romantic and an eternal optimist, but I do. No matter how many heartaches and failures I have to endure, no matter how many missed opportunities and mistakes I have to face, I know that there is someone waiting for me. Perhaps its someone I've yet to meet or maybe its someone whos already a part of my life. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that if something is meant to happen it will. There is one person for each of us in this world. We just have to wait until they find us. My one wish is that no one loses faith. Someday you will find that one person who completes you.

"It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something."

I think Crash has to be one of my all-time favorite movies. It takes a real gift to be able to reach so many people in one film. Crash digs into some of the most controversial stereotypes of our time. It makes us examine our own thought processes and prejudices. We all hate to admit it, but we all have our moments of bigotry and racism. Its hard to pass a day without labeling someone or something based on the stereotypes we've been taught and have come to accept. Crash depicts the outcome of those deep-rooted biases and challenges us to overcome them. Are we strong enough? Change needs to happen and it has to start in our homes, in our families, in ourselves.

Alright, now that Im done ranting, heres my real post.....

I want to thank Julie for reopening my eyes to The Juliana Theory. <3.

Summer is winding down. College is approaching quickly. All I can think about is how much I love my friends and how blessed I am to have them in my life.

    ~ Becky, I miss you. You always find a way to make me smile. Even when I dont want to. Youre one of my best and closest friends. I love you.

    ~ Julie, you are a great listener and a loyal friend. Umm I kinda love you a lot.

    ~ Quinn, youve been there for me for as long as I can remember. Thank you.

    ~ Ashley, we've been through so much together and words cant express how much you mean to me.

    ~ Rose, oh Rosie youve always been there when I needed you.

    ~ Grant, we've had an interesting few months. Whether you know it or not you give the best advice and youre someone I feel comfortable talking to.

    ~ Preston, you are a goofball, but youre a great listener. Even though at times you're slightly awkward.......... uh ........ yeah.

    ~ Jared, this summer was amazing with you even though it ended badly. Im just happy to know that I still have someone I can talk to. You know more about me than most people.

I have so much more that I want to say, but I dont think that a stupid blog can express how Im feeling. Im leaving for college in 16 days. Im not ready to leave but I know its my time to go. I love you all and Ill be taking a piece of all of you with me. Let's make these last few weeks together special.

All of my love,
     Libby

I'll leave you with one of my favorite songs........

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty
in the moonlight
overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne,
she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I can finally say that I am ok. I love you all.

"Pretty Girl"

pretty girl is suffering while he confesses everything.
pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about.
and that's what you get for falling again;
you can never get him out of your head.
and that's what you get for falling again;
you can never get him out of your head.

it's the way that he makes you feel.
it's the way that he kisses you.
it's the way that he makes you fall in love.

she's beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego and
the killer instinct tells her to be aware of evil men.
and that's what you get for falling again;
you can never get him out of your head.
and that's what you get for falling again;
you can never get him out of your head.

it's the way that he makes you feel.
it's the way that he kisses you.
it's the way that he makes you fall in love.

pretty girl... pretty girl...

pretty girl is suffering while he confesses everything.
pretty soon she'll figure out: you can never get him out of your head.
