How many days left?

So I haven't even been home a week yet... well in a few hours it will be officially 'one week...' but I want to go back home, to school. It's funny how going away to school distorts what is home and what is not. All my stuff is in Oregon... my friends are in Oregon (well technically not but they're not here with me, are they?) and my life is based around Oregon. School has become my life and my friends have become my family. I miss being able to run down the hallway and yelling 'Who wants to get food with me?' or 'Does this look okay??' It's definitely different sleeping alone in a room instead of having those late night girl talks with my best friend, and roommate.
Don't get me wrong I love being home, but I love being at school. I love how independent I am and I make my own decisions. I have to figure it all out on my own and that is always the best feeling- being able to conquer something without having any help.
But I am sitting here counting down the days but enjoying all the moments until that final day..

Off to watch Wedding Crashers!

Love,
Elizabeth Ashley

Getting Started

I've never blogged before... I'll start out with that. But, now I have a lot of free time on my hands since it is holiday break. Before I started making this I never thought my life was something worth sharing. It didn't seem 'amazing' because I haven't had cool experiences. I had to take a moment and think to myself... Maybe all my experiences seem normal to me but out-of-this-world to someone else. That always seems to be the case. For instance, my college experience so far as a freshman, to me, seems average. Now that my friends from home are slowly trickling back we have shared our stories. Mine have become anything BUT normal. Compared to most people and their supposedly 'crazy adventures' mine always pass theirs up. Maybe it's because my friends and I are not afraid to test the waters. When we're together at school- impossible doesn't exist. Does it exist to you?

Love,

Elizabeth Ashley



PS.. Can you guess what school I go to :)
