Sometimes I struggle with wondering if I am a textbook college student. College is a unique time with tons of freedom but very little responsibilities. Please re-read that sentence...does it sound like it's a good idea? Am I really in an environment to naturally build good habits and life skills? This is not real life in so many ways, but of course at the same time it is a period of growth and maturing.
I've been ready to go to college since I was five and saw my sister move away to Liberty University. In someways I thought college would solve all my problems of discontentment. My wise mother told me one time when I was whining about living in South Carolina (I think I'm a Colorado girl at heart) that if I'm not happy here I will not be happy anywhere. How true. I can move around chasing contentment but I know now it's only found in Jesus.
Ok the serious part is over. Sometimes I do feel like a normal college kid. Like when I go to the store with a specific list. How embarrassing that this is all I brought up to the cash register.

You know, I wanted to bring you brownie mixes JUST LIKE THOSE, but you were a brownie snob and said not to bring the "plain stuff." Huh! You must not have been making those for yourself, but to take somewhere! :) Enjoy college! You were DEFINITELY ready for it by 8th grade! Love you. Mom
