Friends make the world go round

So over the last few days I have made two new friends that looking back now, I have no idea why we were not friends in the first place. I went to the Haunted Forest on Friday with a great big group from Reeder and this was the first time that I had spent so much time with these two people ( Laura and Deborah.) The Haunted forest was kinda lame so we decided to go to a haunted trail and corn maze tonight. It ended up just being Laura, Deborah and myself. So here we are standing in line waiting to go in and talking about how corney it could be. We begin to walk into the trail and follow the path that is created by hay bails. With random little goblins and monsters popping out, we yell because we are not expecting them but mostly to scare the other groups behind us. So here we are walking and we come into a wide open field and we notice that it smells like pigs. We take a step forward and step on a trampoline mat that is covered with a wet sand so it feels like poop. We all screamed for real because we were afraid that we had really stepped in it. It was so funny. The rest of the time that is all that we could think about. We really had a good time. I think that it is important to make friends when you are away from home because they become almost like your family. Long story short . . . Deborah, Laura and I will stay friends for a long time. Until next time . . . keep it real!

Why does school and stress go hand in hand?

So I made a very important connection today. School without stress is not school. However in my case stress without sickness is not stress. The worst part about being sick is I just got over being sick. I hate being the way I am sometimes. I hate the way that I think that I can control everything when I can't. I hate the way that I put so many expectations on myself and then make my self sick (literally) trying to push myself to get it done. I wish a lot of different things that I could change about myself. I don't want to change everything, for the most part I am pretty happy about the person that I am. There are some little things that I would not mind changing. My crazy super organized, perfectionistic, hectic hassle filled life has a tendency to get me overwhelmed at times. Ugh. . . I suppose now is the time to implement the "what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger." Well we will put this theory to the test and see if I am a stronger person at the end of all this. Until next time . . . keep it real.

My First Blog . . .

So I am new at this whole Blog spot thing. Let's be honest this is just a way to avoid doing homework that needs to be done. So as previously mentioned I am a junior in the psyc program at Utah State. This is kind of a scary time for me because I need to start thinking about Grad schools. YIKES!!! The one I really really want to get into is in Pennsylvania but that is also the con side of it. The distance away from my family. I have so much to get done in the next two years that it makes my head spin. Heck it does that when I think about just this week alone. But something that I have come to realize is that it is ok to live just one day at a time. Until next time . . . keep it real! ~Cholli~
