I Feel Content

It finally feels like senior year.  And I feel like myself.  My sophomore, junior self, minus some of the depression.  I feel pretty good right now.

Maybe it's because Thanksgiving is almost here and soon, Christmas.

Maybe it's because I'm excited about college.

But maybe?  I'm just happy.

I know where I want to be next year.  I'm happy about college.  I'm not stressing over the small things.  And I know at the very least that I have a great back up school.

Some little things have changed in my life.  I'm back to some old behaviors.  But old isn't always bad.  It's predictable, I know how I'll feel about things.  And I've accepted that whatever happens, will happen.

I have one foot in the old, one in the new.  How long before I get to do the splits?

(Oh, and I remember why I used to love HP now!!!  Fanfiction time.  Care to recommend any?)

Gilmore Girls

I'm writing my main common app essay about Gilmore Girls.
It might be silly, but it has seriously been influencial for me.
And far more real than writing about 1984 or Middlesex.

I'm writing about TV for an essay that could determine my admission to my dream college.

I'm nervous.
I'm scared.
But at least it'll be original.

I don't know if you like Oprah, but I personally do.  And I've heard a lot of things about how amazing she is and what she's survived and done and whatnot.

Somehow, she still ended up alone.  At least, in the conventional sense.

Does it really have to be that way?

One or the other?  I wonder.

I hope not.
