I am falling in love. Don't get too excited, mom. There are absolutely no prospective boyfriends in my life currently. I am instead engaging in a long-anticipated love affair with Elon. I can still vividly recall lying awake on warm summer nights dreaming of how I would instantly know that I was where I belonged the moment I moved into my home away from home. Yet, the feeling never truly came. I kept waiting for the magical movie moment to occur, and boy am I glad I didn't hold my breath on that one. I was so busy running off to Virginia Tech every weekend to cultivate my blossoming relationship there that I completely forgot to fall in love with my college like I was supposed to.
Well, just when I had completely given up hope of ever having that birds singing, sun shining, head over heels in love revelation, wouldn't you know it happened. It absolutely shocked me today when it hit me. I have fallen for Elon. I am totally crazy for my swim team and Pendulum friends and they have made all the difference. I am busier than I ever have been in my entire life and loving (almost) every minute of it! I have a purpose here; I have a role to fill and people who I couldn't bear to disappoint.
While some may say I really messed up and will wake up one day cursing my misguided priorities I hold firm in my belief that I won't regret my college experience. It may have taken me a few years too many to feel this way, but at least I got there. And I have eight beautiful months left to enjoy my new love. :)
Je suis dans l'amour. Enfin.
