I JUST OFFICIALLY APPLIED AT UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY.
Wish me luuuuck! Although it's probably too late for that by now.
On another note, I'd like to include this random snippet that I found on this random girl's blog. Well, not that random. She was in my Spanish class last year. But it's random enough because I never talked to her. Not once. Maybe I should have, though, because I agree with her on a lot of things. This, for example. I should warn you of a couple hiccups in the language department, and I know you're going to want to pull the "It's great, except for that..." stuff on me, but anyways, read the whole thing. It hit me in a weird way, because it's how I've felt for so long but never been able to put it into words like this because I just never realized it. It's something that everyone needs to realize. I've taken some creative freedom and bolded here and there, but otherwise it's all hers. Here it is.
"I am happy. No, really, I am. The last three years no longer possess any emotionally bitter or painful attachments, but instead are a representation of how far I've come, how much I've learned, and most importantly, how much I am capable of growing as an individual and human being. I will always have bad days and sinking points, no matter what, we all will. And some days I feel like falling apart and regressing to my past state of hopelessness. But will I? No. I think that I've been forced to rely on myself so much, that I finally learned how to channel that into truly loving myself, without relying on anybody else for my happiness. I see a lot of people around me who definitely cannot say that for themselves, as they place their chances for happiness in the hands of others, whether it be boyfriends or girlfriends, family, or even friends. Well guess fucking what? It's never going to last, or be real and pure unless you learn to be happy from within."
