Growing Up...

or going back in time.  I'm not sure how to think about the changes in life that come with college.

Right now I am a full time student who works part time and is on the hunt for an apartment.  Seems like I'm a young adult, right?  Except guess what my Stats homework was tonight.  I had to make a cute little card with my name on it to set at my desk during class.  When I got back to my dorm this afternoon, I got out my paper, scissors, glue and markers and got to work.  I thought I had left craft projects and name cards for desks behind when I went to middle school.  Guess I was wrong!

The funny thing, though, is now that I am at college I crave making crafts and projects more than ever, but I have homework.  I think part of my craving is that I don't want to do my homework.  I think the other part is that I want to stay young and little kiddish forever.  Some days I wish I could just stay at home in my dorm, eat fruit loops, color, and watch cartoons, or play with my horse all day long.  But there is a funny thing about that too!  Just a couple years ago, I could hardly wait to grow-up, get out of Royal, and be on my own.  I have that, but I want everything I once had too!  I do have it all, though!
