On my undergrad

So let me make this clear, I really love the place I chose for my undergraduate education. It's really just an amazing school, and I could not have asked for a better overall college life. I have now moved on to an all women's college for my further edu, but I will never really associate myself with that institution past my resume. Besides the blatant sticker on a car window that anyone around here could spot for a mile away. I really love football, our team, going to games, and tailgating. But I just can't take it too seriously. If we do well, its amazing, if we do not. Meh, there's next year. I am much more passionate about the New York Giants, but I really just don't want to blog about that. There are some things you can't knock that start when you're two.

Anyways I was talking to a friend today, and this made me laugh really hard. I was debating going to the large public university library tonight to get some work done, and realized the team has a Thursday night football game...

M: I decided not to go to the lib tonight, I would feel like an old loser. We have a football game, and like its a Thursday, and I just shouldn't go. I'm not prepared to feel that old yet.
J: Meg, the only losers there will be the ones on the field wearing red jerseys.

Things that made my week...

It was my first full week of school this week, and there were some things that made it. Here is a list.

1. Music downloads: One of my friends took the liberty to give me the entire Teflon Don CD from Rick Ross. As well as some more inappropriate rap songs (the "Hard in the Paint" remix, etc) and some songs from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, an indie band. This entire collection of music really just framed my week and made me happy. I needed new things to listen to. I think the other thing here that is key is I am just really into blatantly ridiculous rap, like Rick Ross. So now I have all of his new stuff, which is excellent, that I can quote (inappropriately) as I please and play while I'm driving. In my Volvo. Bitch, I'm MC Hammer.

2. Classes & Homework: All I have to say about this is that finally knowing somewhat what to expect from everything makes a huge transition easier. People seem nice, I don't feel like a complete dumbass, everything should be okay.

3. One of my good friends visited, and it was just really good to see them. People like that make me happy.

4. I finally got back to the whole gymming and tanning (outdoor and indoor) thing. It just makes me feel a little bit better about life in a holistic sense. If you take some time out of the day to do good things for yourself, it can change the landscape of a mood of a day/week/month overall. So that's what I do. And please don't take the time to tell me tanning is really bad. I actually could care less, and I think that is a stupid opinion to share.

Its been a good first week of unemployment and study. I think I may be prepared for all of this after all! And I think I will start looking for a job when it gets a bit colder. I haven't had a break like this since sophomore year.

Clusterfuck to school.

So as a few of you know now, I have quit my job and will be completing my postgrad Paralegal certificate. Pretty much I should have a post for everything that has gone on in my life up to this point, so I think I will work on that now that I have alot of free time on my hands. The overall feeling of the past few months was just me in the middle, and many other elements spinning around me. Much like the drug scene in Garden State.



But now I'm back. The job I despised is no longer a part of my life (though I will miss people there). I am so excited to get into my program and really start learning, and have a job that will be more of something I can picture myself doing longterm.

Right now though I am taking some time off and just being a student. And probably scheduling a massage sometime this week. No lie.
