Today was my first day back in university since fall of 2022. Iām 22 years old now, when I went before I had already taken a gap year fresh out of high school and felt way too old and āmore matureā than my classmates. In my time away, that mindset has since changed and now Iāve returned with a better and more stable mindset⦠and so far Iām thinking things will go well! Iām taking classes Iām actually fucking interested in and excited about and thatās really important. Even if itās for things that people wouldnt consider taking seriously. Itās serious to me! And Iām excited!
It was worth walking in the FRIGID cold today for this fresh start. (15°F plus windchill)
Even now as an old decrepit grad student and prof, the first day of school continues to fill me with wonder. What will my classes be like? Will I see anyone I know? I have a bag full of unused notebooks and pens. I somehow have not a care in the world and a feeling of dread. Itās lovely that some things stay exactly the same.
i havent been in school for ~4 yrs, but this time of year still fills me with that same kind of "back to school" anticipation.... bright days, cool breezes, scattering leaves.... "gee, i hope my crush is in my English class" ahh type feel....
Sooo my bf is in boot camp rn and I miss him like a MOTHERFUCKER (like 36 days left but who tf is counting right right) but I just rememberedddd we have old voice messages from our texts and I saved like a hundred of them to voice memos so now I have them more accessible to be able to hear his voice while I cant see him or talk to himš„²
Highly recommend to anyone who may need it!! Itās helping. Even the messages completely out of current context and just in the context of the conversation we were having. I just miss him. Thatās all
