I miss the lovely blues and greens of spring. The starkness of winter depresses me.
While lying in bed the other night, I decided that before I die, I’d like to climb a mountain– possibly in the Rockies or the Alps. Someplace, somewhere. I am so allured by the thought of conquering a large land mass and the forces of Nature.
Last weekend, I visited my boyfriend, Rob, at Bucknell University. The time we spent together was beautiful, and I missed it so. Most of our weekend consisted of hanging around the dorm and attending various dry activities on campus. I wish I had friends like his while at Richmond; I wouldn’t have left if I did. Few college students seem to understand the value of sobriety anymore and it’s discouraging.
It probably sounds weird, but I liked observing Rob in different situations, the way he acts, and the way he speaks. I like to watch him be a guy and talk about sports, I like watching him do his homework, I like seeing him interact with new people and people I do not know. He’s the most engaging individual I have ever met and I always love the moments I experience and share with him.

Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong in college because I can completely relate to feeling like no one around you is sober…I will never understand how people can think it’s the only way to have fun. Fortunately, my roommate and I have completely similar principles and find our own little haven in our room. I hope you’ll be able to find the same thing soon!
