Annual Overview, 2012-2013

The end of my freshmen year in college is approaching. Holy shit. That was fast. So fucking fast. This has been, by far, the best year of my entire life. It was everything that I wanted it to be. I met people that exceeded my expectations. I’ve found my family away from my family. I’ve found friends that I can be myself around. I could, for once, do what I want what when I wanted. I got to live life for myself for once. I got to experience all the new things. I got to drink. I got to stay up all night. I got to screw around. And in the midst of all, I’ve never been happier. 

I got to dance again. I got to explore my culture on a deeper level and make life long friends, friends that helped me push through my freshmen year. I’m going to miss being a freshmen. I’m going to miss the new-ness of everything. How every new thing left me starry eyed. Now I’m accustomed, integrated.

Looking over the entire year, I’ve liked so many boys for such short amounts of periods for stupid reasons. I’ve consumed enough alcohol for a lifetime, yet I’ll keep going. I’ve blacked out more than fingers can count. I got to do what I’ve always wanted. And I’m a better person for it. I’m slowly moderating myself, still in the process of learning what does and doesn’t work for me.

Also in the year, I’ve experienced many different types of heartbreak. I’ve seen someone I’ve only dreamt of seeing after 2 years. I’ve dipped through so many lows, but soared through so many highs. 

This year, I’ve learned so much more than I have the 17 years that preceded it. Choosing to come to Boston has been the best decision I have made.

I finally feel at home, and I can’t wait to see what the next 3 years will bring.

One word: Zedd.

Not familiar? He’s an emerging DJ that it gaining speed. He makes sick music. And seeing him live was PHENOMENAL. The increased bass, the trippy visuals. It was hot as fuck, people literally on top of each other, sweat everywhere. It was so worth it though. This girl prior to Zedd legitimately peed herself. It was disgusting, yet somewhat amusing. Zedd barely played songs from his new album, but my big and I went crazy during Spectrum and Clarity. I don’t know, the energy from everyone was contagious. Literally jumped forever. Oh and this guy that grinded on me all night was really good, lol. That was by far the best Wednesday of my life.

Oh, also it was raining around the time we were leaving so we decided to wear white trash bags over our clothes to avoid coat check. Best idea ever. And it started getting so cold to the point we couldn’t feel our bodies, hence us running around Boston with barely and clothing on.

The venue was amazing, the lighting, the visuals. It could’ve been bigger, but I was immensely pleased. Also, it was really cool how the security guards were hydrating the people. 

I’m just super happy with tonight. Bryan and I’s and Cristian and I’s bucketlist of raving can be crossed off both lists. That was my first full on “rave” experience. So pleased. Oh and the guy asked me for my number, lol. SWERVE~
