You hear about college being the best time of someone’ s life.

Well that’s obviously not my story. When I was accepted at Eastern Oregon University I thought my life would be so easy and carefree. I was ready to get away from my dad and live on my own(with his help ha ha). I’m not a party person so that never enticed me at all.
I moved out and started attending classes. They were the hardest classes I’ve ever come across. I was unhappy. I was furious with myself most of the time. I was stressed and felt alone.

It was something I know I already had, but somehow it comes in waves. When furious or stressed I get depressed. I’ve never cut, so that was something I didn’t need to think about it. I didn’t drink or pop pills. I suffered in silence. Being pleasant and talkative when encountered. I wanted to be normal and happy like I’ve heard so much about.

I’m so in love with my boyfriend, it’s amazing that we dated once before and were engaged. After 2 years we realized that we wanted to be with each other. But the distance is almost too much to bare at times. We fought. Hard at times and it’s still hard to handle. I love him and he makes me happy, but even that isn’t enough to make life better.

I heard a few days ago that she only has days or if she’s lucky a few weeks. Can you imagine. Your best friend is going to die, and you can’t do anything about it. Her tumor controlled her and there was nothing we could do. So they decided to let her die. I’m still waiting for my world to break into a million shattered pieces of glass. Because when I go to pick up the pieces, the pain will always stab at me.

I like living alone. I’m OCD and I hate when people mess up my flow. I got stuck with 3 people to room with. The dorm was nice and loud I guess. Let’s say I’d rather stab myself now.

In a way I wish I would have graduated and just started working. I hate college. It’s nothing that I like. Everything I learned, means nothing here. I know I need to be a nurse, because that’s what I’m best at. But I didn’t think reaching my dream meant that I was unhappy.

I have the best mothers in the world. Jenn and Liz are amazing. I feel really close to Liz because like me she’s really into the whole stage and singing thing. Shes down to earth and willing to help. Jenn is normally busy but willing to help when needed. I know the RA’s have lives too, so I tend to stay away until I really need to vent, like now

I had a good thing going. I had four guys I loved to death and feel so very close too. Until two of them moved out and now it’s down to Chris and Scott. Chris is crazy as hell. He use to be in the circus and all and is really ripped O.O I totally don’t mind. Scott is the sweetheart, that gets the worst of it all. I feel like a mother to all of them in a way, maybe it’s my life experience. Maybe I look like I have life under control. N O T
No I don’t like college…but I need it to get my dream career. So I’ll follow suit and do what I’m told, just to be a nurse.
