Black Holes & Tomatoes

I think I'm coming down with a virus. Might be contagious. It's called 'Growing Upitis." Extremely painful. And I don't know if I'm going to make it.

So I'm at the commencement of my 16th year, at the ripe age of 22. I'm really lucky. And really happy. I still have a speech team. I really like my professors. I have some of the most amazing people in my lyfe. And I don't know if the procedure is already over or if I'm elbow deep, drenched in the  bloody frenemy trenches of my college days. I am a people person and I admit that I can't say no to those people. I want to please everyone. WHY? There's a lot of people out there that suck. Why do I care what they think? Why bother keeping the shit that is a nightime-frenemy-ship afloat, when both parties know it's ALL croaking bullshit. (Skip to the next paragraph if it's too soon for you to hear a Titanic joke). I mean Titanic was the shit and all but when she needed Carpathia, Carpathia let her SINK. Yeah, she cleaned up the wreckage of a drunken mistake that was "hitting the iceberg" (insert hook-up with a brainwashed, frat star toting a freezer-burned heart that is not due to an extremely wicked Smirnoff icing session). So Carpathia apologizes, but in the end, Titanic gone.

So I'm trimming the fat of my facebook friend list, and my real life friend list. I don't need those "friends" in my life to make me feel more powerful at a dumb, towny bar. Why? Because Titanic is the shit and everyone wants a ride on Titanic. (OKAY. NO MORE REFERENCES.)

By the wayside, I need to stop being so negative. And bitchy. For my ad copy writing class we had to make a 60 second spot selling ourselves in a competition to find the best college student? Or something resembling that dumb creature. Here's a bit:

"But above all, I ENJOYED COLLEGE. It made me into a pseudo-adult. And I’m proud of that. I learned how to network through unsolicited conversations with the homeless hopefuls en route from school to my apartment and through a fair amount of shots with my friends…and strangers…and homeless people…..at my local, humble bar. I’m a people person, I’m extremely driven, and I don’t think outside the box…I destroy the box. So pick me, choose me, love me. "
