I returned from my nice little vacation last night and before curling up in bed to watch one more episode of Gossip Girl, I checked my Facebook. Perhaps you need a bit of back story here: After high school, I went away to a fabulous little school in Iowa and had the time of my life. I attended that school for 3 semesters before transferring for a variety of reasons. While I was there, I made some very good, close friends. Sure, we had our ups and downs, but we were solid friends. My leaving, however, changed that dramatically, and I haven't been having much luck staying in very close contact with them.
Last night, I found my news feed filled with status updates about their new apartments and pictures of how cool everything looked and of their first dinner living there together. This killed me.
We had always talked together about how cool our senior year would be when we finally moved into the campus apartments together. Now they are all there, living that dream together, and I'm here... without them.
This isn't me regretting my decision to transfer out. This isn't me saying I'd rather be there than here. I am saying that I miss them, and I'm sad I'm missing out. I am saying that I'm lonely without my close girl friends.
The Boyfriend stroked my hair as I cried my eyes out about this. I couldn't help but also feel envious of him and his BFF; even though his friend goes to school far away, they stay connected with an online video game that they play together and wear goofy headsets to talk to each other while they do so.
Moving on, my weekend was awesome. I got a ton of fresh air, ate lots of good food, rode the jet ski, and even tried to wakeboard. These water sports required me to wear a heater shirt so that I didn't freeze in the cool water. It covered my upper body and arms, so only the tops of my hands are awkwardly sunburned!
I did, however, realize on the 2 hour drive that my iPod is in serious need of being updated. The majority of the music I own is punk rock or other outdated late 90s crap. My music tastes have grown to like more coffee shop type music, like Meiko and Kate Nash.
Do you have any suggestions of artists I might like?
Plans for the Day: take photos of stuff for my upcoming etsy shop, do laundry, enjoy the beautiful day
Plans for Tomorrow: orientation at my new job
Personal Goal: learn how to make a female friend without feeling like I'm hitting on her
