Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess named Blollege Blirl (college girl... cleverly disguised, eh?) She was incredible, and incredibly humble, and able to rule the campus with a well-manicured, iron fist.
She had a 7:30 class, and as she crawled out of bed this morning there seemed to be something truly wrong. The sun had yet to rise, and even in her castle (apartment) she could tell that the day would be a cold one.
For a moment it seemed possible that there was something wrong with her alarm clock, that it was still the middle of the night. But every other clock in her royal chambers (bed room) confirmed what her own alarm clock was telling her.
Wearing three layers... and a coat... she was ready to step outside her apartment building into the cold and black that was the morning. Her royal carriage (otherwise known as the campus shuttle bus) was waiting for her, and she boarded it to head off to learn and academically grow.

Frustration
I'm not ready to deal with the real world?
Who'd have guessed it? Well... honestly I would have, but even I was surprised at the manner in which I'm unprepared.
Here's the deal, a few nights ago I was angry. That's it, there's nothing more to it, I was so upset I was in tears.
Confused? Allow me to explain. I've never, NEVER been mad at anyone before. (Outside of my family)
Don't misunderstand, I've been angry. Everyone experiences frustration, I just have never before been frustrated with someone.
I didn't even know what to do. I was offended and hurt by the way this friend was acting, and I did nothing. I was hard-core crying on the phone, and just couldn't bring myself to text this kid and let him know he was acting like a jerk.
That's what I mean when I say, I'm not prepared for the real world. I don't know how to confront people. I hate hurting feelings, but I really don't want to allow myself to be mistreated. I'm going to learn how to be very pointed, even when it's not comfortable. I'll find someone out there who will teach me how to react like a grown up... so that when someone treats me like I'm not worth anything I can set Universal Truth Number Six into action.
I'd want to know if I ever did anything to mimic the effect his actions had on me. I'd hate to think I'd ever done anything like it to a friend.
I've never been made to feel that awful, ever. And it won't happen again (as soon as I can figure out how... I'll keep you updated).
Universal Truth Number Six
Take a friendship for granted, and it won't be around for you to make the same mistake twice.
Fine print:
I'm not talking about Universal Truth Six for any friend in particular (don't worry!) I love all of you pepes and am anything but angry. This was several days ago... so even that frustration has all but vanished. I'm also not trying to threaten or sound scary, I'm just trying to figure out what it is that you're supposed to do when you've got a problem... I've never fought with anyone outside of my family, and would like to keep it that way.
You tell me, what do YOU do?

College Party
I was leaving a school event when a truck full of guys stopped to shout at me,"Hey! Party at Smith's Marketplace!"
"Party at Smiths?" I replied surprised, and slightly confused.
"Yeah! Smith's Marketplace, come!"
My first reaction was, "What kind of crazy-faced party would that be!?"
I laughed... but then thinking on the truck load of normal (which happens to be the opposite of crazy-faced) boys.I glanced at my phone, it was only 11:30, and I thought why not? The night is still young!
I hopped into my car, pulled out of the parking terrace, and drove straight to Smiths Marketplace.
I'm certain you're thinking along the same lines I was. That this was a "party" at Smiths... one of those random things that spreads. While it can be fun, it invariably results in mass numbers of students clogging up the isles, chilling in the store, and upsetting the managers.This; however, wasn't a "party" it was a PARTY!
We had to show our student ID to get in through the door, and to obtain a raffle ticket. Because, yes, there was a raffle. There was also a cakewalk and all kinds of items put on sale. This was a party that had been organized by Smiths!
As I wandered around the store, filled with students shopping and playing,I picked up a few groceries and decided; I LOVE COLLEGE.

Pay special heed to what your cookies tell you
Need an explanation for that one? Earlier that same day I received a free fortune cookie. (Don't you just love food that can talk to you!?)
My fortune read, "You will attend an unusual party and meet someone important"
As my roomate and I were driving home, I realized, if there was ever an unusual party, that was it... unfortunately, I didn't take the time to meet a single person. I should have paid better attention to what my cookie was telling me.
