lady ace of spades's blog: "the mind and rants of a fuck up"

so my summer is basically ending...or at least windoing down to the end. my friends are all going to orientation so everyday until the 30th is gonna be lonely and depressing. i'm gonna miss them, especially after last year. last year whenever i came home i would have to wait the couple of weeks until they were free from school's torturous hours to hang out and have fun just relaxing. i also had to end my breaks alone while they were at school, gettin thru their last year of high school. but the main thing was that they were all in the same place: HERE. now we are all spread out. i go to gettysburg, alison is going to boston, rachel to chicago and i forget where precious is going. we are gonna be growing apart now and become wrapped up in our own lives and majors and love life dramas. the only good thing is that we will hopefully still be coming back to DC for breaks and have time for each other. this year, i'm not in a dorm. i opted for a theme house with friends i met in an early orientation last year. i am really excited. my best friend last year is my roommate this year. we had fun all last year just hangin out everyday and doing as much as we could. my roommate is a senior so she's really excited about it being her last year and how much fun she is gonna have. i'm excited for her. the house we are in is next to two frats: Crow and Teak (spelled how we pronouce them). Crow is known for puttin a scale out front and weighin every girl who came in. if she was over a specific weight, she couldnt come into the party. they are right next to us. Teak is the one i have to worry about. they are known for date raping girls at their parties, and for doing a lot harder stuff than weed. we joke that if Teak was torn down, you would find drugs in the walls and ceilings. i heard of hazing they put their pledges thru which has been dubbed "the puppy story" and it makes me shiver every time i hear it. I make a big step this year. i declare a major. i have decided on studio arts. i figure arts as a broad major will be more beneficial than a psych major for instance. The reason why is cuz you need creativity in most jobs and to get around situations. for example: web designers, and ad designers need creativity to create things that will get people to respond positively to wat they offer. you need creativity for screen writing, acting in a role (how will you say this? does your character have his own twitch or hand motion like heath ledger did for the joker? etc). an arts major will make me think outside the box on how to convery a certain emotion or image in a unique way. plus it can be applied to many different jobs instead of just one path like a psych major. if you have a mid life crisis as an art major, you can get another creative job easily because thinking outside the box is needed the most, whereas if you are just trained as a psych major and you have a mid life crisis, you're stuck. you would have to go back to college and find a different major or something else to do. i cant wait!! i'm so excited about this year. and no, i promise i wont be a straving artist. lol PS: here's the song of the moment ("ego" by the sounds) and i cant find a vid of it
