| Write what you know, write what you know.
What if I don't know anything? What if all these years I've succeeded in school not because I'm smart, but because I am simply good at memorizing things? Sometimes I think that "intelligence" is the ability to remember things and obediently apply them.
What if I don't want to write what I know? What if I want to understand things I don't understand, like why people don't realize the effects of their actions, or why depression is so fucked up, or why I feel so lonely when this is supposed to be the best year ever?
I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

| I think the song "Folding Chair" by Regina Spektor is the best song I've heard in a long, long time.
"I've got a perfect body, but sometimes I forget.
I've got a perfect body, cause my eyelashes catch my sweat. Yes they do, they do."
How awesome is that? A beautiful body is one that is functional, not one that is slim or aesthetically pleasing. :)

| I have issues with regularly updating. I've decided to keep a journal, kinda, but I cannot seem to remember to write in it. I'm thinking maybe if I write every day, I will become a good writer! Good plan, no?
I'm visiting Northwestern on Monday. Eh...I'm not so sure I love that school anymore. From what I've read and heard, it's all about fraternities/sororities and partying on the north side of the campus, and in the south, it's all studying. Not sure if I want that. But, the Chicago area would be such a good location for college. It's only like seven hours away, so not really far, but I'm still getting out of New Ulm.
My mom is getting me a lot of college books so I can consider everywhere I want to apply. We're not visiting anywhere in the east coast cause it's too expensive, but I might apply to a few schools there and then visit if I get in anywhere. College. I can feel the stress already...ha.
Summer is great. The Boundary Waters were really amazing. We got to see a lot of the areas that weren't affected by the fires, so it was really pretty. We played in a waterfall and did some intense portages. I loved it. :)
The new Regina Spektor CD is so good. And I've been listening tons because I've been biking a lot lately.. Sharing a car with your 19-year-old sister = never having a car....haha.

| I have free time! *Gasp*
Not really. I'm just procrastinating. PSEO is almost over, which will be a great relief. Prom is this weekend, and I'm very excited but it is also stressful. After the AP tests are over, it's sliiiiide time.
Summer needs to be here. And not leave.
Turns out my uncle went to school to be a journalist (who knew?) and he gave me the low-down on top journalism schools. I guess University of Missouri-Columbia is at the top of the list. Northwestern and Columbia in New York are up there too. I'm kind of interested in Syracuse as well. Upstate New York = Rae's dream.
I also always thought it was Syracruse. Apparently not. Haha.
I love these lyrics:
You're the echoes of my everything
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night
You're the laziness of afternoon
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom
You're the leaky sink of sentiment
You're the failed attempts I never could forget
You're the metaphors i can't create
To comprehend this curse that I call love
How will I break the news to you?
That's about it. :)

| What if I fall and hurt myself?
Would you know how to fix me?
What if I went and lost myself?
Would you know where to find me?
If I forgot who I am?
Would you please remind me? | | |
