For my 13th birthday, my parents got me my 1st CD player and the Alanis Morriset, Jagged Little Pill CD. (I think that was before parental advisory labels- or before my folks realized what they were, though that album should have had one.) I don't have it anymore, but it was my favorite for a long time. I just smile when all my girlfriends start talking about how Backstreet Boys and NSync albums were the first ones they ever owned... :)

I am preparing for the future with school, but I am about to be on a 3 month break!! 
I am getting Lasik as my 21st birthday present from my parents and am kind of scared to do it. 
My roommates and I will be living in our own house, out of the dorms, in 3 months.
My older sister graduates college in a week and my best firends and other sibling are going to be partying it up in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere.
I get to go home in a week!!!!

This weekend signifies the beginning of summer break. Almost. There are no classes this week, just exams. So that's a high point.
But even better is the fact that my 2 best friends from home are coming to visit me in about an hour!!
 

 So I'm bored and figured I could answer some of these questions...

Last time I drove out of town I was on my way to a funeral. But 2 days before that, I was driving out of town to see Paramore (and Jimmy Eat World) play an amazing conert in DeKalb, IL.

 So, nothing really new here, except I am on spring break! 
It is, however, snowing outside right now. And despite (minimal) effort in trying to book a beach scene getaway, my friends and I will be stuck in this snowy state, although we will be heading out of town for a one-night stand stay in Chicago. All is well on the homefront; my family are as themselves as ever. Ah, well, it's not as if there's any bad to them, just a bit overbearing at times. 
No worries though, because I have breakfast booked with friends at 10 tomorrow!! Yay!

Hello my little LiveJournal. I am going to mention now that you will likely be neglected. Sad but true- there are just so many things a college girl has to do with her time. So for now know this:
I am in college.
I have amazing family.
My friends are the bestest and they are fantastic :)
Home is where the heart is, but the heart is often split amongst many.  
Music makes me happy, but I am terrible at expanding my horizons: I fall in love and gt stuck for months, never tiring of the same old...
I love to read, just not these silly things called textbooks.
I think a lot about my world and how it sucks.
I want to change the world for the sake of others
I'm often in doubt.
I love to live.
That's me in a nutshell; any following posts might elaborate. I mostly got myself an LJ so I could post with a name, not just annonymously, on favorite authors' and musicians' LJs and also to be able to join some of the communities :) 
Later!
