yes, I stole a line from Gilmore Girls as the topic for this entry, but it seemed appropriate considering there was a moment. That moment was last friday when i moved into my college dorm. That brief moment when I wondered what laid ahead of me, and if i could do it. "College is complete different from high school"-that's what kids here growing up all the time. I always knew it would be different, but just how different? That's what I thought about during that moment. There was a moment. A moment where you feel happy, sad, panic, awe, and just plain fear and joy because this whole new world is open for you. It's right there and you have it. You can take it and run or you can go the other way, but either way the decision is yours. There isn't anyone standing there telling you want to do anymore. It's a very...intersting feeling. At least until the next morning comes and you have to deal with everything that college entails. Going tosit in a stuffy room and listen to a professor drone on and on....and dealing with roommates and loud people down the hall; not to mention communial bathrooms and testy girls. All of that hits you immediately, and there isn't anyone there to help you. Yes, there is a moment. A moment when you want to scream and cry and you beg for someone to take you home, yet you don't. Unlike Luke, who seizes that opportunity to kiss Lorelai right after that line, we have to deal with it. That moment offrustration and angercomes and goes. And slowly, you find solid ground. It's hard, but it is possible. I say this to anyone who feels remotely like I do at the moment; a little overwhelmed, but thrilled at the prospect of finally stepping out into the world. College is ours for the taking; let's be like Luke and jump; just stand still, take a deep breath, and jump.

There's my little rant. Hope everything is doing well; good luck with whatever form of schooling you have. If you aren't in school....your lucky lol.
