My best friend is the most amazing best friend any person could ever have. I just had a long talk with her about my (stupid) insecurities with (I think you can guess who so I'm not even going to put his name even though its way shorter than this statement) and she made me feel so many million times better.
I'm worrying about things that don't need to be worried about. I'm psyching myself out. And she helped me realize that. That took a lot of stress off my shoulders too.
College tip of the day: KEEP YOUR BEST FRIEND. Don't get stupid when you go to college and start thinking you're better than all the people back home. Alex is a senior this year, but she's been through a lot more than me, and she's great and listening and giving advice. She knows me better than I know myself. That's what a best friend is. Someone who is always there for you, even if you're an hour and a half apart and haven't seen each other in three weeks. Best friendship isn't detered by distance.
Also, I actually studied for biology! I'm pretty proud of myself. I spent at least an hour reviewing my notes and stuff. I still have to review the online assignments and make sure I understand that. Plus, I signed up for a study session through the school. On Sunday night, I'm going to get help with this. Thats another thing: learn how to study. I never studied in high school. Ever. So I don't know how. I'm not going to make A's without studying though. So, if you're like me, swallow your pride (if you have to...I had to) and ask for help. I'm going to a session with a tutor and she's going to help me study for my exam on Monday. Then I'm getting together with some friends to study for oceanography on Wednesday. I'm going to get prepared for these tests and I'm going to ace them.
Mark my words.
