For my senior year, I decided it would be cool to have a single. Everyone had always talked about how wonderful it was to have a room to themselves and how they could never go back to having a double, so I wanted to see what the hype was about!
Well, it turns out, I’m pretty damn extroverted and having no roommate to share my thoughts and feelings with has left me with a lot of unresolved thoughts and feelings.
So, here I am. Finally pulling the trigger and writing my first post in almost a year.

What am I doing with my youth.. Instead of indulging my curiosity in people and new experiences, I spend my days obsessing over the future and allow recruiting to determine my self-worth. What have I become? And when did I become a shadow of my former self?

When did I become this person? The one that compares herself to everyone else? That constantly second-guesses her ability? Sure, I could attribute that to the Haas mentality and the competition all around me. But at the end of the day, I only have myself to blame.
New motto for the semester: Focus solely on the improvement of myself, so that at the end of the day, I am so satisfied with how much I have grown and learned by MY standards, that nothing else matters.
“The only person you should ever try to be better than is the person you were yesterday." And knowing my self-standards, I am sure I will be pleased then.

“DOMA singles out a class of persons deemed by a State entitled to recognition and protection to enhance their own liberty. It imposes a disability on the class by refusing to acknowledge a status the State finds to be dignified and proper. DOMA instructs all federal officials, and indeed all persons with whom same-sex couples interact, including their own children, that their marriage is less worthy than the marriages of others. The federal statute is invalid, for no legitimate purpose overcomes the purpose and effect to disparage and to injure those whom the State, by its marriage laws, sought to protect in personhood and dignity.”
- Justice Anthony Kennedy
We’re not quite there yet, but it’s a start.

How do I climb out of this hole I’ve dug myself?
