Tesla's tumblr inspired me to make a list:

1. I'm getting really really excited about going back to school for some reason. I thought I wanted this year to be different and that I wanted to make friends with all of the people I've neglected the past 3 years, but this summer made me realize that I'm fine with not being friends with any of them. I'd rather spend my time at a show in Philadelphia than smoking weed in someone's basement in Delaware.

2. I've procrastinated to an extreme extent this summer as well. I still have 2 books to read and a project to do... I have about one week. I hope I can pull this off. I know I'll regret it if I don't.

3. I've realized that the dude I was so hung up on is literally insane and it's something I shouldn't be worried about. I tried so hard and it really is his loss. If he can't see that someone he's so compatible with and he thinks is cute that is openly telling him that they have feelings for him, then he's an idiot. Point blank. Life will go on.

4. I can't stop watching Twin Peaks. I regret waiting this long to watch it. I've been totally sucked in and now the majority of my day is spent watching it in my bedroom alone. I'm okay with this.

5. I'm having a hard time grasping the concept that I'll be totally on my own in one year. I'm going to be 18 in a little over a month, I'm going to be graduating in 9 months, I'm going to know where I'm going to be living in about 5 months. The start of the rest of my life is going to be figured out in less than one year. In less than one year, I'm going to be living with my closest friends in a city and going to school for something I'm in love with. I am both scared and excited by this thought, but mostly excited.

6. I've been eating horribly lately. Since I wake up so late, I usually end up eating dinner right after I wake up.. then being hungry again around 4 in the morning. I need to a) get my sleep schedule back to normal and b) stop eating so horribly..

7. I've been getting to know a guy I met a little over a month ago. I get really giggly every time we talk, mostly because I forgot what it was like for someone to WANT to talk to me. We have really good conversation and he's very sweet. New crushes rule and I'm excited to see where this could go.

8. Everyone's leaving this week. I'm so happy for them all. Sincerely. I wish I was packing up my life and going along with them, but I'm okay with being stuck here for a little longer.

9. I've decided I'm going to start making lists like this once a week. Probably every Sunday. It's a good way to get little thoughts out.
