I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself.

Things are really looking up.
Earlier today, I just completed my last class of the semester. All I have is two more regular exams left and one final, and then its time to head home.
I've been thinking about it, and I'm pretty sure I can say that this has been the best semester yet. All I've really been doing is going out at night or doing well in school. That's a pretty wet combo.
I've learned a lot too. About myself, and about people in general. Whenever I think about things that I've done before, I thought about how much I've grown since that particular time. While just sitting here and thinking, I made a list about the changes and realizations that have happened in the past few months.
I'll never like hard liquor. Ever. Hahaha.
When I was younger, my dad told me about my grandfather's ability to treat someone one way and completely think the opposite about them. (Un?)Fortunately, I'm pretty sure that I've inherited this same trait. Over and over again, I feel like I've been treating people as if I was their best friend, and honestly thinking that they were full of shit. A lot of people might say that its important to be honest and upfront with poeple, but at the same time, I enjoy staying on good terms with everyone I know. I didn't ever want it to be a priority for everyone I know to like me or to have as many friends as possible, but I believe that all of us were brought up that way.
Also, I went to my American Experience instructor's office to talk about my socializtion paper, which has something to do with the way you were raised and how you adapted to that.....I'm not really sure, I haven't even started and the paper's due tomorrow. But anyway, the discussion was really interesting because we talked mainly about my mom. My mom always raised me to be one of those validictorians that stand up at the top of the graduation class, get a full ride to a division 1 school, get a great job, and live a better life than what I was living at the time. I slacked off a lot in high school, but not enough to keep my grades completely down. I was still National Honor Society president, got a pretty good scholarship to a small school, etc. But I haven't really had a realization to have a better life than I have until I got to college. Nowadays, school is the top priority, and when I'm not doing that, I go out at nights and try to meet as many people as possible, and just have a great time.
Its all as if I'm living my life the way it was meant to be.
That's all I really got for now....but I feel like some things are going to happen between now and the time I go home next Friday. At this point, I'm about as clueless as you might be, but things have been having a tendency to work in my favor lately, so I'll just rely on that.
