Living the Life

Still. Sick. Haha I just can't seem to get better. I had that chest cold, and then last week I got a really super bad case of strep throat, and now there is something else wrong with me. I think it's a mix of allergies and that chest cold that never went away. I just want to wake up feeling healthy!

Anyway, it's halfway through the second semester of my freshman year at UCA, and things are going fantastic. I've gotten supercrunk the past few weekends. I made a 91 on a super important biology test, and I wrote a kickass lab report that I'm really hoping will get a good grade. And, tomorrow, I have 2 classes, and then it's SPRING BREAK! Finally, I really need to get away. I don't have any super cool beach trips planned or anything, but I get to go home and see lots of people that I haven't seen in a long time. 

The weather has been amazing. It has made me so happy. The sun always puts me in a good mood, as long as it isn't like...104degrees outside.
Speaking of the sun, I can't wait for summer. To me, summer is wearing shorts and tank tops every day. Sandals and flip flops everywhere you go. It's swimming and getting tan. Summer is staying up super late playing video games, then sleeping until noon the day after. It's sunglasses and sundresses. Green grass and blue skies. It is happy and carefree. I love summer. <3

On a completely unrelated note, I've made a decision. I've been single for a little while, and to be completely honest, I love it! I love not having to worry about anyone else. I couldn't imagine getting married at this age. I'm 18; I just want to have fun. I don't have to try to keep a guy happy, while keeping myself happy. From what I can tell, I'm not very good at that. When I'm involved with someone, I tend to give up my happiness. But I've decided, that I'm going to try to stay single for the rest of the time that I'm in undergraduate school. I can save serious relationships and commitment and all that for when I'm a bit older and when I might actually want to settle down or whatever. I'm still young...all that can wait. :)

List Time! Advantages of Being Single:

• You don't have to buy a significant other something for every holiday and birthday. You can save that money or use it on yourself.
• You don't have to worry about meeting and impressing the parents. No awkward family dinners.
• You can party as much as you want without having to bring along your boyfriend or girlfriend. Parties are so much more fun single. You can dance with whoever you want, and don't have to worry about doing anything that might not be appropriate if you're in a relationship (especially if you're crunk).
• You can manage your time how you want to. No having to work around anyone else's schedule.
• You have a lot more time to hang out with friends or do homework or whatever.
• You can flirt with whoever you want. That is, as long as they aren't taken.

Those are only a few reasons. There's a lot more advantages than that. The main thing for me is that I'm able to stay happy when I'm single. Plus, I'm going to be moving to another state sometime in the next 2 to 4 years. I may transfer after my sophomore year. Even if not, I have to leave after I finish at UCA to go to dental school, so that's a big thing. I mean, if I find someone that I just can't pass up, then maybe I'd give things a shot. But unless that person is super great and fantastic and like no other, then I'm sticking with the single life. And who ever said that if you're single you can't still have fun? ;)

Anyway, I have a few things to do tonight. I have to read the Dhammapada, which is like Buddhist scriptrues, for my religion class. Then I have to write a short paper for my theatre appreciation class and study for a test that I have tomorrow. Then I need to pack and get ready for spring break! :)

I love flowers. <3
