The first thing that I would like to proudly announce is that Chris and I are no longer. It has been about 4 months since we broke up and almost a month and a half since we have not exchanged a single word to one another. In all honesty, I think we are both better people for it. While I do believe we loved and cared for each other, our bad habits from past relationships lashed out so much that we definitely brought each other down more than up. It is obvious that we were both at fault - however, he didn't feel like faithfulness was as important of an issue as I did.
Needless to say, I am relieved to be done with that whole ordeal.
... which leads me to my next point. While almost every post is about a new crush and whatnot, I am currently dating a guy that I have known since this past summer and I absolutely adore him. He is patient, understanding, smart, goofy, and (as a bonus) the tall, dark, and handsome type. I admit that we do have our differences, but he has always supported me through the hard times of my academic career, as well as personal life, and never gave up on me. I feel like I have become better each day just because he is in my life.
I, at times, wonder how I ended up with someone so amazing, but I do vividly remember crying to my old friend about how I would never find a good guy - I guess I finally got what I asked for. Although my fear of love and (mostly) marriage still exists, I could sincerely say that I could learn to love him for a long time. I have sadly fallen pretty hard for him in such a short period of time, and he is so perfect that things do seem very unreal.
I guess I just expect something this great to blow up in my face, like it always does.
As for my life in the college world, I am almost graduated! It is so surreal knowing that only months lie between now and when I am done with my undergraduate career. While I admit that I will not miss the academic workload, I will completely miss the social aspect of it all. Sewanee is such a tight-knit community that, when you step into the real world, you are shocked just how much people don't know each other. However, I have found myself becoming bored or rather annoyed when I go to fraternity parties now. Even spending time at my sorority has become an unpleasant experience. I was talking to a fellow classmate on a long drive home, and we both admitted that the party scene has grown old to both of us. I suppose it is a good thing in the long run though - we can easily let it go when we leave.
I wish I could expand on more aspects of my life at the moment, but I am utterly exhausted from the long trek back to campus.
(I visited the boyfriend this weekend... it was glorious.)
