Year of Trials

With my Freshman year of college ending, it's natural to reflect on things that happened throughout the year. Obviously not everything was good, but not everything was bad either.

First off let's start at the very beginning. Summer time. I would say the very best summer I can remember. Mainly because my best friend and I spent almost all our time together and she even lived with me for half the summer. We were so alike and best friends for 3 years. She unfortunately was not the best kind of friend. I just never listened to the advice of other people around me. She was a taker and it wasn't until college that i actually understood that she was just using me. Now you would think that as best friends, we would keep in touch quite often at least once a week and talk about our new lives at different colleges. But this was not the case. She pretty much began to ignore me and i found out through facebook that major changes were happening in her life and she obviously didn't want to share them with me. For example, she joined a sorority, cool and all, but she never told me or called me once about it. Ok maybe not a big deal. Another thing, she got a boyfriend. This is all within the first month of college. Some might think i am overexaggerating because she was probable too busy to think about calling me. But come on! An entire month with no word from her and major happenings in her life that she doesn't want to share with me. So this is when i pieced together all that my other friends and family were trying to tell me about her. She was only using me and once we were hours apart at different colleges i wasn't there and she didn't need me anymore.
Basically i can look at it two ways, college stole my best friends, or college revealed the truth about her. Huge events that i struggled with the first semester and that's not the end of it.

But i believe i've vented enough for now, i will be back with more on my first year later! give me your thoughts

Introduction

I am currently attending Ashland University, finishing up my freshman year.
This year has been fun and exciting but it also contained a lot of crap that i would have rather lived without. These are the reasons i decided to start this blog. I feel like i have no one to talk to so i thought i would let everything out through this.
Any advice or encouragement is welcome.
Look for my first post sometime soon with more details on my life and my thoughts.
