life for the next 4-8 years...

OKAYYYYYY.

I know, I haven't blogged in so long, but I'm sure you can guess why...
I'M IN UNIVERSITY!!

Now I know you're thinking, "Classes didn't start until yesterday. What about every other day, and all weekend?" Well my friends, this place is wild. I've been busy 24/7. It's been hard for me to even just find an hour where I can just chill in my dorm room, nevermind finding the time to get on my blog and write stuff. I moved on Sept 4, which was a Saturday. I was offline all day for quite obvious reasons. That night I stayed in a hotel with my parents, and they did not actually leave me until about 6PM on Sunday. Needless to say, I was kinda depressed that night, so the last thing I thought about was my laptop. Monday, I was with my residence girls doing orientation with them (which was running sat and sun as well). I left at about 8AM and didn't get back until 10 something PM.

Tuesday was the beginning of the artsci frosh week! Basically, I was with my group all day from like 8:30AM until 11PM. We would get about an hour here and there to eat or go change clothes or something, but THAT WAS IT. There was no time for doing this blogging. Okay, so frosh week ran until Saturday night, when we had a semi-formal dance. So I was out late, basically.

Sunday was a whole other story. We had the season opener for our school's football team, so of course we all had to go. We were all decked out in our painted coveralls and tams (you'll only understand if you go to my school), and we were ready for cheering. It was about a 20 min walk in the rain to the game, so basically, it sucked. Our team won of course. They're last year's champions, so yeah, but we mostly left early due to awful weather. I then spent the rest of my day running errands all over and again I wasn't home until late.

Yesterday was the start of classes. I was actually online a lot yesterday because I finished classes at 11:30AM. I had to buy books though, and I went to the mall to get some school supplies with some friends. I've also spent lots of time out with them throughout my time here, so that's another reason I'm so busy. So yeah, now I'm here about to go to another class writing this when I should be reading.

University is hectic, but so fun. You meet so many new people and just have sooo much freedom (minus the free time). Haha, and it's only just begun...

More to come I'm sure. (:

day five: six things you wish you’d never done.

1. i wish i’d never said i didn’t want to skate anymore. when i realized how much i still needed it, my mom told me i wasn’t allowed anymore. not cool.

2. i wish i’d never been so absent-mindedly rude to my friends back in grade 6. then maybe we could have stayed close friends and it wouldn’t have ruined my parents’ friendships with their parents.

3. i wish i would have cared less about “being cool” when i was younger. i ignored so many people that i shouldn’t have. luckily, most of them forgave me. 

4. i wish i would have been more outgoing in school. it’s not me to be shy or quiet at all, but the people were so intimidating.

5. i wish i wouldn’t have hated my brother so much when we were little. then maybe i would actually get along with him and we wouldn’t completely hate each other.

6. i wish i wouldn’t have let my cat outside when i was 5. then he wouldn’t have ate the rat poison that killed him :(

p.s. there’s something that i did about a week ago that most people would have regretted, but i don’t. it’s too personal to talk about, but i just thought that had to be said.

day 14 - a picture of you and your family

This was taken at my brother's Grade 8 Grad in June, so it's pretty recent. Obviously, that's my mom, brother, me, and then my dad at the end. (:

day four: seven things that cross your mind a lot

1. do I know where my phone is?
2. what day is it? am I doing something today?
3. I feel like eating, but what should I eat?
4. what should I wear today? how should I do my makeup?
5. what time is it?
6. did I take my lactaid? do I need my lactaid?
7. where's my Burt's Bees?

day 13 - a letter to someone who has hurt you recently

someone had hurt me recently, but it’s over now, so I don’t want to be all dramatic and write a letter about them…so instead, I’m writing about my brother because he ALWAYS hurts me. physically, that is.


Dear Farter,
I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're the scum between my toes!


Love,
Lauren xoxox

day three: eight ways to win your heart

1. be funny. i seriously need a sense-of-humour. that’s my #1.

2. try not to be too serious all the time. relax a bit.

3. no pda. i’m dead-serious about that. it’s just gross.

4. stay-in with me sometimes for the night. sometimes it’s more fun just to hang-out at home.

5. be an animal-lover. you don’t love animals, i don’t love you.

6. sorry, but you have to have brains & brawn. i need someone who i can actually debate and hold a conversation with - without them being a complete geek. :p

7. buy me stuff. there’s nothing more to be said about that. hahahaha.

8. respect my eating habits (i eat healthy cause i like to, not cause i’m trying to lose weight.)

i realize how it is almost impossible to find any guy like this, and that’s why i have not been in any serious relationships, but i don’t care. i can be picky if i want. at least i’m not desperate. :)

P.s. It would help if you were standardtristan...it would really help.

day 12 - how you found out about blogspot and why you made one

Well, I've kind of known about blogspot for a long time, just because people that I like to watch on youtube and stuff have made them. And pretty much any website you go to has its own "blog," so yeah.  I actually made myself a different blog almost a year ago, for a scholarship contest I was entering, but I never went on it and I kind of let it fall apart.

This summer I decided that I wanted to remember this time in my life. It doesn't seem that important at the moment, but I know how much university will impact my future life, and I just want to think back on how I was just before leaving for school and during my freshman year. So yeah. That's really why I made this - not to try and get hundreds of readers or "fans." I don't care about that at all.
