I haven't disappeared, I promise! I apologize for the month long hiatus I took from blogging. Between family matters, moving back to Madison, and starting the busiest semester of my college career so far, I have found little time to blog.
As of a little over a month ago, Madison, Wisconsin is finally my home base again. While I already miss my family and my home-cooked meals, I am ready to be back in my favorite city.
For most people, hearing "back to school" conjures up negative emotions fueled by thoughts of late nights at the library and meals that consist of Easy Mac and Fruit Loops. I, on the other hand, get excited when going back to school is mentioned. Partly because I enjoy learning (yes, you read that correctly), but for other reasons as well. Here are my reasons for being excited about being back at school:
1. Most importantly, I get to see all of my friends who don't live in Milwaukee.
2. I can justify buying new clothes because it's a new school year...duh.
3. Everything is in walking distance again. I have learned I enjoy the life of a pedestrian much more than that of a driver. Rush hour traffic is not for me.
4. There is an end to my boredom. I finally have things to do with my life again, even if it is school work.
5. The stress of school gives me an excuse to watch endless episodes of Grey's Anatomy in my free time (season 11, here I come).
6. I can justify napping during the day again.
7. Two words: football season.
8. Back to school means fall is coming. Who doesn't love sweater weather?
9. Being back at school means I get to be involved in my clubs again, which ultimately means I get to continue my passion for communications.
10. Finally, I get to be back in Madison a.k.a. the best place on Earth.
You probably think I'm crazy for being so excited to be back at school that I felt the need to blog about it. Come back to me after midterms and see if the enthusiasm has stuck. I am hoping that I will be able to carve out time more frequently to blog - no promises though.
Have a great day. Get excited to be back in school. Relieve your stress by catching up with Meredith Grey. As for me, I hear a strong cup of coffee calling my name!
