So this past weekend I visited my lil sis Jennis in Philly! (Sorority lil sis, although she is basically my family). We had a fantastic time, minus some SERIOUS drama (not with us, with stupid boys) but all of that was resolved--so just a fun weekend with one of my best friends in the whole world.
You would think I'd be all happy having spent the weekend with her. But oddly, I find that this happens a lot. When I see Jen or any of my other Penn State friends, I get depressed the week after! I miss them so much, so just spending like, 3 days is like a tease. I get sad that I don't live closer to my friends. I have great friends here in Memphis, don't get me wrong, but it's just that I have the best memories with my Penn State friends. It seems like so long ago and it just makes me sad that our lives used to connect on a daily basis, and now it seems like we have to plan time to see each other or catch up. I know it's part of growing up, getting jobs, etc...but for some reason I think everybody has it more together than me. Maybe they've just been working longer since it took me 18 years to graduate college? Haha. Who knows--but regardless, this weekend made me want to move even more. I miss my friends and it's sad to think I might not see them for another few months.
On my excited note...it's the Tuesday before college football starts! Some friends from high school are already talking trash to me about Penn State playing Florida International, but hey-we have Notre Dame the week after so I'll take an "easy" game to start! Saturday I get to start drinking beer at 11am...a joyous occasion! Just can't forget my lucky beer jersey!! (The only time I ever did this, I cried because Michigan ended up coming back and beating Penn State with 2 seconds left on the clock-I take full responsibility!). I have my game day playlist ready on my iPod-I made Becky listen to it on the way to Big 10 night at Gills the other night. It even has Zombie Nation on it...woo hoo!
So anyways, those are my deep thoughts for the day. Sad but excited for the weekend. And of course incredibly excited that in a few weeks I'll have my own place!!
Allow me to just end with one summary of the past week...the nicest way I can put this:
""Men are like fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something with which you'd like to have dinner with."

College friends & memories are the best!!! Of course, your sis is my first "real world" friend after collge, & she is also one of my best memories!!
I love the men and wine metaphor. Haven't heard---pretty darn funny! And Biffer--yes, once you get your new place, it's all going to feel different. You will be completely responsible for yourself--and not in a scary way, but a fun, this is the real world way!!! YIPPPEEE!! I'm so excited for you!!
And Miss, awwwwwww stop, you're gonna make me cry!!
You are both nerds...love y'all!
