Headlights pointed at the dawn.

I'm a 24 25 year old student and this blog is about my adventures as I go back to college and do my best to love each day.

New semester.

I have had the most gloriously unproductive winter break that ever existed. No, really - I spent most of my time sleeping and hanging out with friends or family. I didn't work a winter job (although I probably should have) but just my brain relax and prepare for the next semester. I watched a lot of Netflix instant streaming, played a lot of video games, didn't get up before noon once, and spent a lot of time with my boyfriend. It was exactly what I needed.

Last semester was so demanding. Between Betty Terry's death - which has effected me so much more than I thought it would - to the stress of being back at a real university with a full level course load and the amount of pressure I manage to put on myself, it was exhausting. It was really rewarding, in the end. I was a quarter of a grade point away from making Dean's List and I know exactly how I can fix things and do better next semester.

I feel refreshed, and I am looking forward to my classes. I have all my books and I'm packing my things away so that I can leave tomorrow. I'm hopefully going to be taking lessons at the barn where the CNU team rides, which is a really amazing facility - I love it there. So along with my winter clothes, books, and computers - my riding gear and equipment will be making the journey with me tomorrow.

I think it is going to be a good semester.

I know it'll be a great semester!

Just keep being you, and you can't possibly not succeed!

I'm so proud of you, and I'll miss you so much while you're away in college... but I know it's for the best!

I am forever in awe of how amazing a person you truly are.

I love you.
