Starting Over... Again

Let's go for round three.

I am incredibly scared of new things. I know I have said this before, and I know I tell pretty much everyone I meet. I knew that I would be going to college when I left high school. That's what everyone did, and I couldn't skip out on college. I was actually a little bit excited. I hated high school. It was not a good time for me. I know some people like it, but I don't miss it a bit. Leaving for college would be a new start. It was scary, but I had done it before, and I could do it again. I would have to make new friends, learn new routines, and be completely in charge of my own life. It was a huge new start, and I was only a little bit ready.

The first couple of days were horrible. I dreaded waking up every morning. Eventually, it got better. Then it just got monotonous. I wouldn't have been able to do anything without my roommate though. I swear I would have forgotten to eat and function without her there. She helped me to come up with a somewhat functioning schedule, and pretty soon my whole life was based around that. I thought that I would be living with that schedule for a while. I was really very attached to the schedule, and that made it better. It worked for both of us, and it made college life easier.

Then she left. It wasn't the place for her, and I understood that. I didn't have to be happy about it, though. Everything was going to be different again. I would be starting over once again. I still don't like new beginnings that much, and it will be even worse without her there.

I know I have a great and strong family back home. They are close by, and they are always there when I need them. Starting over can't be that bad. All the most popular movies are people starting over. Sometimes a big change is what they need. I know that this next semester will be hard, but I know I'll figure it out.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

You know you're a true Kent Stater when...

Kent State University
Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
