Birthdays

This weekend has surprisingly been really fun. At first I was rather disappointed that Brett thought it would be better if I didn't come home, because he had wrestling and thought that he would be busy most of the time, therefore it wouldn't be beneficial for me to come home. However, I am now seeing that I was supposed to stay here for a reason. One, I am extremely glad that I didn't leave because of all this bad weather we have gotten today! I was so surprised to wake up and see all the snow had melted to water, however, things changed quickly enough as everything started to freeze back up into ice and the blizzard was on it's way. Second, I am glad I stayed because my floor (well, most of my floor) went out for two of my friends, Alea and Jordan's, birthdays. While we were going to go to Cedar Falls to Buffalo Wild Wings, we ended up just going to Joe's for wings. I didn't think they were that great, but it was nice to be with my friends and meet some new people. And third, I am glad I stayed because tonight I ended up hanging out with some girls down the hall, and while I may regret my decision tomorrow when I have so much studying to do, it was a super fun night and I feel like I have made some new friends. I think that I was supposed to stay here to realize that I should be having a good time and meeting people in college, and that going home so often may not always be the best decision for me.

  1. I see you moving in a great direction. You don't need to feel guilty about adapting to the college life. It is only natural to think of college as your "home" just as Grinnell will be home as well.
