theres been new starts & theyll be no sleep

this past weekend was one of the worst of my life. & to the one person who listened to me bitch endlessly & have a few minor breakdowns over the past few days, i cant thank you enough.
my nites have been sustained by coffee & the fresh prince.
it seems my life lately has been fueled by mild weeks & intensely dramatic & emotionally unnerving weekends.
nothing seemed to go well this weekend except for realizing i have the greatest family anyone could ask for. in the middle of all this catastrophe & tragedy, my aunts worried because i only own one pair of pants & she demanded we go shopping. & she basically made plans for me to visit & my cousins are coming to visit me in dc in the spring.
you have friends for when you move & you have family for when you think you cant go on any longer.
my mind is a trainwreck rite now & i have a feeling its not clearing anytime soon.
i realized recently that actual college isnt about learning, its the time in between classes that you do the real learning. death, love, tragedy, addictions, quiting, birth. these are the things that matter not some art history final or boring book report. when it comes down to it the real reason we go to college is to learn about ourselves & others emotionally, mentally, & physically.
