Hey, so, I'm in college now.

Remember this post? Well, I ended up at the University of North Texas! It is really great, and I will expound on that in later posts.

I live in Crumley Hall, an all-girl dorm, and apparently one of the greenest dorm buildings in the United States. Go us.

I am having a lot of fun here. No one else from my old high school went out of state, so I knew practically no one here from the start, which I am now thankful for. Starting over with new people gives me a chance to start fresh without bringing any of my past here with me.

My current major of interest is International Studies, and right now I am looking at minors in Peace Studies, Women's Studies, and possibly Spanish or Japanese or both, depending on how I manage my time and if I end up doing study abroad over the summer. I have a feeling I will look back on that list and laugh. Haha.

While I am here, with the campus and world at my fingertips, there are a few things I want to accomplish. I have been building a college bucket list of sorts. My current goals are as follows:

- Play in the fountain (Did it!)
- Get on the roof of a building at my university
- Graduate with honors
- Learn Spanish
- Be an officer for a club
- Study abroad
- Do an intership, preferably with the Girl Scouts of America, the Texas GSA Network, the Human Rights Campaign, Heifer International, or with some awesome organizations like them
- Become a vegetarian (I'm working on it!)
- Have a relationship (I realize college is not an expensive dating service, like some students seem to think it is, but people tend to learn a lot about themselves through relationships, and there are many young, intelligent, attractive queer students here so, yes, I want to date people.)
- Help organize a protest or a rally
- Conquer the rec center's rock wall
- Attend Dallas's pride parade (It was so awesome.)
- Volunteer

I am sure I will be adding more to the list as the year progresses, but that is all I have right now.

There are plenty of awesome people to meet and I have been learning more things outside the classroom than in it so far, but I am only taking lower level classes right now.

Oh, I am also apart of the honors college! It is not that incredibly special, actually, but I know it will help me get into graduate school. I plan on taking honor's writing next semester which I will hopefully pour my heart and soul in and come out a more polished writer and poet than I am now.

Now begins the journey of self-discovery and personal growth and coming onto my own and becoming a contributing member of society and what have you.

Go Mean Green!

Caw!
