COLLEGE

Things I love about college:

Flight of the Conchords sessions like every night

Amazing all you can eat food

Epically failing at laundry

Pretty dorm rooms

Staircases that always come out somewhere different just like Hogwarts.

Showers that make it impossible to shave your legs

Guy who goes room to room playing guitar and singing The Shins, The Decemberists, Journey, and Bright Eyes AMAZINGLY. Random acts of kindness make me more happy than anythign in the world.

Living in a building shaped like an X

View of the river and downtown Portland from my dorm room window

Habit of singing all the time making you friends because people easily discover similar interests!

Biking to P-safe

Spending 3 hours at Fred Meyer

Flower watching

Roomate with the exact same living schedule as me

Higgins, Powell's, and Voodoo

Poems on the bus and the MAX

Failing at German with friends at your side

Learning the word asshole on the second day of class and saying it repeatedly

Soccer games and the drum squad

Automatically having 30 friends from honors wherever you go!

My mac :)

I love it here. It is the most gorgeous campus I've ever seen. I love my dorm and all the people that live here. It has only taken a week for it to feel like home. I'm already applying for and involved in so many things, it's amazing. I really, really hope that I can get a spot on Nicaragua and hopefully it won't interfere with Salzburg! So much to look forward to! I can't wait!

Every night I am filled with immense joy, I have never been so happy in my life. Not just with school, but with my friends, here and elsewhere(but always in my heart!).

I am that I am.
