Somebody told me:

I’ve always been a dreamer, longing for worlds far away. The unexpected, the new. The exciting. I’ve always been the kid with the overactive imagination, always thinking up worlds that would be more exciting than the one that I live in. I always pretended to be someone else, because it was often easier than being myself. I’ve always been a kid who hates change. I’ve always wanted things to go my way, or not at all.

But baby, things have changed for me. I’m starting off a new life in a new place, and quite honestly, I’ve never been happier. I’ve never felt more academically driven, and I’ve never wanted to make something of myself quite as much as I do right now.

I love Mizzou with this passion that I can’t explain. Not to myself, not to my mom when she calls, and not to a blog. I love being here. Every day is a new experience, learning new things and making myself more at home here.

Things are wonderful, truly, honestly so.
