FRESHMAN YEAR.

Okie dokie. So I have one more final left today... PSYCHOLOGY. FUN! ...not! It's amazing to see that my freshman year has come to a close and so quickly.

I'm proud to say that I'm ending it on a good note academically. So far, out of my five classes, I have successfully passed three... three that I thought I'd fail. Anatomy: B, Theology: B, Spanish: B-! Now I'm just waiting on the results of history and I still have to take my psych final!

Other than my academic stress this year, there's been so much other stress - from family, friends, and love.

F A M I L Y .

Family has provided me with the most stress this academic year. My parents' constant fighting is taking a toll on me - especially when they fight over money (which is what they ALWAYS fight about!). That's what stresses me academically. If I don't work hard enough and maintain my scholarship, where are my parents going to get money to pay for school?!

F R I E N D S .

Freshman year at SPC has been all about the loss and gain of friendships. I went into college saying I'd be more outgoing than I used to be and make new friendships. I did. Some I maintained and some deteriorated right before my eyes.

* The downfall of NCLEX and Sexy Sigma Psi was the first victim. Out of that downfall I've only managed to keep my friendship with Kirsten <-- my seester/GIRLFRANNNNN/college best friend. My relations with the others are not as great.

* AASU = biggest downfall of them all! From entering that club with NCLEX to staying there cause I fell in love with the vice president to being shunned cause I those one sided people hate me for breaking their precious VP's heart (not knowing the hurt he inflicted on me) to finding out I lost the election for E-Board secretary all cause of my downfall with George... AASU CAN KISS MY ASS! No matter how much Phil says he's going to change that club, I refuse to believe him. They're always going to be their own elite clique of one-sided thinkers. I did manage to keep friendships with Calvin, Jean, and Rachelle though. I loves them forever!

* STEVENS = newly found friendships. I wish I met these people earlier in the year. That way I could've gotten to know all of them more before summer... especially Armand. If I met him earlier then it might've worked out with me and him. OH WELL. I'm glad I met them though... Richard, Justine, Cianyl Mae, Eddie, Steven (Eddie's Little), Dan, Izzy, the rest of Nu Alpha Phi, and whoever else I might have forgotten to mention... They're great people! I loves them forever, too!

* And how can I forget everyone else:

- Stephanie and Daniella, my fellow SPC Peacocks who I've been friends with since high school: Steph since junior year and Daniella since senior year. I'll always love these two.

- Jane who's a great person and confidant. I love her!

- Matt who goes to Stony Brook but I met at AASU's "Wanna Canta?" It's been great having him to talk to on the phone and messaging him back and forth on Facebook. "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"

- Kat aka Phil's honey! I don't know what to say about her cause she's sitting right next to me but I loves her!

- Jeffrey who is one of George's best friends but has managed to still be friends with me and provide me with the greatest advice and has listened to me rant about all my problems. Same with Ryan aka Jean's honey. Oh he's had to put up with my ranting too!

- Did I forget anyone? I D K ...

L O V E .

From meeting a guy at orientation who ended up using me and being total jerk... to meeting a cocky guido that stood me up (HAHA KB chased him down)...to meeting and falling in love with George, a guy who I perceived to be my own personal "Edward Cullen"... to meeting and falling in like with Armand, a guy who I called my "Wall-E"... My freshman year has been filled with romantic trial and error! F A I L !

No matter what... I'm proud of the excitement of my freshman year. Despite all of the hurt and stress, I have managed to cultivate new friendships and learns various lessons about love - all of which I will cherish.

GOODBYE FRESHMAN YEAR. HELLO SUMMER VACATION. SEE YOU SOON (BUT NOT TOO SOON. LET ME ENJOY MY SUMMER!) SOPHOMORE YEAR!
