TV Frustrates Me.

I hate that we don't get certain channels here at UVM. I shouldn't say hate; its more of an annoyance really. I'm just spoiled in the sense that I have Comcast cable at home, which means I get every channel and they are all in high definition. It's strange to not flip on the TV on Wednesdays to watch "America's Next Top Model" like I normally would at home. I know this is so trivial, but I felt like ranting about it for a little bit.

What Is This Weather??

I'm from New Jersey, so it's taking me a little time to adjust to this ever-changing weather. I'm not used to it being this cold until around Thanksgiving at least. Usually by Halloween it's still in the 60s or maybe 70s if we're lucky. I'm in shock every time I walk out the door in the morning because its so cold! I can't even bear to look at the weather report anymore; news of cold weather this early just makes me miss home that much more. I know in a previous post I stated that I never wanted to go home to New Jersey, but I do wish I could bring the glorious New Jersey warmth up to Burlington with me. I can't even imagine what I'm going to do once it starts to get really cold out; as much as I love the snow, I don't know if I can handle six feet of it piling up outside my dorm on a daily basis. This is going to take a lot of getting used to!

Moving Essay Frustration

Just to follow up on my moving essay frustrations...

Making a second project on eating disorders has really helped me find the closure I've been searching for. During my junior year in high school I made a short film on my struggle with EDs and that helped, but during my senior year I had a sort of "relapse" if you will and began bingeing and purging. While I only did that from time to time, I still felt so horrible about letting myself fall back into such bad habits. Making this moving essay has really helped me to definitively say that I am beautiful, no matter what dress size I wear. Thanks to those who posted comments- it really means a lot.

We're One Month In!

Having been in college for almost exactly a month now, I'm finding that I never want to go back home to New Jersey. Don't get me wrong, I miss my family and my dogs and friends, but I love having all this freedom. I have control over my own life; no one is dictating to me when I have to finish my homework or when I have to go to class. Back home, I had a curfew and I wasn't allowed to go out during the week. Here, I can go out whenever I want until whenever. I don't even have to come home if I don't want to! The only tricky thing about all this new-found freedom is keeping everything in balance. I don't want to fall behind in my work, but I still want to go out and have a real college experience. I guess it just takes time to adjust to everything.
