Perhaps I am pushing everyone away. Perhaps I do need to be alone, and not have another person in my life right now. Thoughts?

Today is a New Day
I've got bits and pieces of songs stuck in my head, and they go quite nicely with the lectures that I listen to while in class.
I think of others and am so glad that they have a great time with their social lives. Someone has to make up for the fact that I don't seem to have much of one.
Leg cramp.
Smiles are amazing. Mine could use improvement - at least in my opinion.
Submitting to a trend makes me feel a little ill inside.
My feet stink...that or these flip-flops that I wear as often as I possibly can. You seriously do plan outfits around your favorite pair of flip-flops. Don't deny it.
People always seem to smell like booze on Friday mornings. Especially if they don't have the gumption to shower as they should.
Deodorant and anti-perspirant are NOT very expensive. I feel that people should drink one less and go buy that stick of deo for their nasty b.o.

Last Day
Today is my last day of being a teenager. Typing that seems rather...strange. It's not something I've really thought about, because turning 20 doesn't really mean much except that you're obviously older than someone just out of high school and that you're most likely impatiently waiting to turn 21 because things like drinking are oh-so-cool.
It's a concept that I don't want to take the time to wrap my mind around, because then there is no way that I would ever make it to bed at a decent hour. It seems the more you think upon something, the less you just let life happen the way things are going to happen regardless. It might make you feel better to worry about what is going on and to make sure that people understand that you have questions, doubts, or nagging concerns; realistically, it needs to be made apparent to far more people that things will continue to happen because we don't have the power to stop time.

Just Another Day
The sun gleamed through the slats in my blinds and on my desk, and asked me to acknowledge that it is daytime once again. Perchance, this could be possible, if it were a later hour...and I wasn't exhausted from my morning run.
Being curled up, under the covers, with an amazing book was so much more preferable than the loud, horrid noises that the Simplex system makes when it decides that there is the slightest chance of someone having even a tiny fire. It is a bit disappointing that it always seems to pick a time when you are deeply enthralled in something, only have a few more minutes to wait until the hair dye needs to come out, or you are in the midst of a rather dull homework assignment [okay, so I don't complain as much about the last option...]. This morning was one of those mornings where you know that you need to get up and accomplish something, even if there really isn't anything special in mind. Perhaps I should tackle the ever-growing mound of laundry so I can actually have the motivation to quit living out of bins and unpack my clothes. Or maybe I should go work on making a bunch of signs. Or - this just occurred to me - I should simply go out and have a picnic lunch. By myself? There really isn't much to do when you are living alone and all of your friends have their significant others to be with.
Give me options or give me...sleep? I think I am going to return to watching the football players practice on the field...such a great view from my room :)

Information Overload
As of late, I have been working hard to make sure that I am using my time as effectively as possible. I had planned for tonight to be a 'night off', a break from all of the craziness of the past few days. Of course, something had to pop up.
A current issue on campus where I am attending school has to do with limits on how much of your meal plan can be spent on pizza. It is difficult for me to pick one viewpoint, since I have many different groups that I interact with, and it seems a bit ludicrous to slam something like this on students as they are moving in. Perhaps it will be a good thing. However, many upperclassmen students who have been able to buy just as much pizza as they please with their meal plan are definitely feeling the brunt of this plan, since they are being limited from ordering as much of a certain food as they enjoy. Many students and organizations have been emailing me about this issue, and I plan on representing all students, not just myself in this meeting. I have been elected by two groups to serve the on-campus population, and that is who I must think of when I make these decisions.
I am sure that when I look back upon this, it will seem rather minor and unimportant. However, it helps me out to express the need to hear what others have to say and what they think about this plan so I can better represent everyone. Maybe I am taking this responsibility a little too seriously, perhaps I should lighten up on my commenting upon this issue, but if nothing is said, the tyranny will continue, and I will have been unfaithful to the duties that I have sworn to complete.

Opening Up For Business
I'm sitting in my room at school now, wondering just why I decided to start a new project. Perhaps it is because I am bored. Perhaps I am simply trying to find a way to let time go by faster. Perhaps I am simply intrigued by the thought of people actually taking the time to read what I type. To be quite honest, I'm not sure which of the above it would happen to be. I will just have to see what happens.
I've become bored by other social networks and activities. Facebook has lost its charm, MySpace was never exciting to begin with, Twitter makes me feel like I've given up on speaking in fully-formed sentences, and I'm a bit sick of joining groups and virtually letting people know that I am attending events. If I show up, then there I am. Good enough for me, and it should be good enough for everyone else.
School is currently consisting of training for my job as RHA president. Sometimes it's complicated, sometimes I am bored, but I know that the people I work with are...unique. At least to me. I'm a pretty serious person, and you really have to get to know me before I act goofy around you. It's interesting to see how each of us click and how we will work best together...it's been difficult because I have so many ideas, but they would take us in the opposite direction from where we are going. Going with the flow is not something that I would put in the strength column for myself.
To change the topic completely, I think I'm going to end this entry. Yep. Otherwise, you'd be here all night reading my rambling comments, and neither of us want that.
