The emotional ups and downs of life can really take a toll on a person. Sadly I feel victim to those storms this week. My boyfriend and I recently broke up, so that has been such a difficult situation in itself. I also found out today that I was not offered the Resident Assistant position for next school year. I wanted so much to be an RA – I wanted to be involved and be able to help people and be a positive influence. However, I guess I just wasn’t needed. I was put on the alternate list, so there is still a chance that I could get the job later. My roommate and very good friend will be an RA next year. I am really happy for her. On top of all my emotional yuckiness, I have been sick this week. It is nothing major, just the ever annoying cough and sore throat.

On a more positive note, I had a GREAT Easter weekend. I was able to go to the gymnastics meet on Thursday night and then a Campus Outreach party. I made some new friends and it was a ton of fun. On Friday morning I went home and that night I had a sleepover with my best friend. We decided to be crazy and we put up a small pop up tent in my basement and had a whole campout inside. We even had trees and a “fire.” It was childish and enjoyable. This school week has been busy with homework, and there is still more to come. I have made some new friends though, and I am really excited about it. Although life has been rough and I have done my fair share of crying and feeling sorry for myself, I realize that I am growing and am blessed in so many ways.
