One more month.

August 28th. Exactly one month from today marks Rutgers move-in day. Summer is nearly over, and college is almost here.

Even though I have certain expectations and hopes for this last month with my friends, a part of me can't wait for this month to be over. I've come to realize that I really need something new - something to change. The people I talk to, the things I do, the places I go, they're all starting to get so old and mundane. Don't get me wrong, I love my friends (well some of them). Nothing beats just sitting around and chilling with everyone, talking about nothing more than pointless nonsense. The numerous car-rides with everyone screaming and music blasting, the guilt-inducing restaurant-hopping nights, the oddly entertaining rounds of stingpong, the judgmental, critical talks about everything and everyone, the list goes on and on. We've been together for so long and shared so many memories, but that kind of adds to the need for a change.

A friend of mine told me another day that a real friend is someone who you can not see or talk to for the longest time and still know, deep down, that they are there for you. That when all is said and done, the both of you are still friends and could just meet up and catch up and enjoy yourselves. I'm pretty sure I have a few friends that fit this description, and I know I can say my good-byes without any remorse.

The time is finally here though. People going to college out-of-state are going to begin leaving, and tightly-knit groups are going to begin losing invaluable members. It's really an indescribable time. There are going to be too many mixed-emotions to simply label it with one adjective. It's a time where you're going to be faced with the heart-wrenching challenge of leaving cherished friends, yet at the same time faced with the sublime excitement of entering a new surrounding, filled with new places to explore, new challenges to face and new people to meet.

Yep, one more month.

LOL

Screw you!

:D

Today was nice. Everything's been going really well lately. I'm content with life.

Done with APs

Pretty sure I got 5's on everything, except possibly a 4 on physics.

So so so so alleviating. I haven't done work in who knows how long, but now that APs are over, even the teachers understand you don't need to do work. I'm excited for the next few weeks and months leading up to college. It should be super fun.

GJ guys, we're done ;D.

Life

It seems like everyone is always stressed out. Problems always seem to find a way to creep into our lives. Life is tough. It's a cliche, but life truly is. No one gets to experience a perfect life - void of problems, troubles and arguments. There's always going to be that thing that bugs us. That grinds at our brains and tests our patience. It's unfortunate but true. No matter how hard we try to avoid the stressful things in life, they always end up causing some sort of stress.

But hey, we should really end this cycle. We should stop stressing out over the petty, insignificant things. Like really. Think about the things you stress out over. In the end, which of these things really, truly matter? Most of the things that cause us grief have little to no real bearing on our lives. Life would be so much more enjoyable if we could just look past these little things. Look past the elementary disputes and trivial commotion we experience everyday.

Being a 17 year old teenager, I can't really say I've experienced too much of this world yet. I've pretty much lived my life day by day, in the same environment, with the same people. Hell, I have not experienced a ton of things. I've never been on a plane, never been outside the US. Nor have I watched many Disney movies (I have two older brothers). I see myself as a pretty carefree person though. I don't really get bothered by many things or dwell over many problems. I have had a fair share of things in my life that have caused me heartache, but for the most part I enjoy my life. What's the point in getting all riled up over such little things? Maybe this carefree mindset will screw me over later in life, but I don't really mind.

I'm just looking forward for everything that is going to happen. I'm 17, only 17 - hahah. What a small number.

My life.

Is eat, sleep, talk to friends.

After beach/basketball today we went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Got an app, burger, plate of fries and wings. After that we drove down route 1 and went to Outback for round two. Blooming onion and texas cheese fries <3. Our waiter was a total jerk.

Correction to the first line of this post.

My life is eating.

Unseasonal Weather

The past few days have had such amazing weather. It's saved me from my house's broken heater and refreshed my memory of warm weather. It's amazing how drastically the things we did over the weekend changed in comparison to the weekends prior to this. With good weather, friends and a pair of sneakers, you can have fun without needing to find someone with a furnished, stacked-out house. It's so much easier arranging things to do. Pretty much just meet outside someone's house and figure out what to do there. The weekend's been pretty fun. This upcoming week is going to suck though. A stat test on stuff I don't know, two physics tests on stuff I don't know and a bio test on stuff I don't know. Hm, I don't know a lot of stuff, hahah. Oh well, really looking forward to spring break and summer.

Oh, and gchat was super boring without the UN kids.
