Things I’ve Learned In College So Far

I can I can I can I actually can.

I can practice until I’m proud of how I play, and I am.

I can focus and finish my homework and have good ideas in class, because I do.

I can change my habits and eat better and lose 20 pounds. Because I did. I even think I can lose more than that just by continuing to be healthy.

I can be a good friend. I think of my friends like my family, and even though it hurts when they don’t always think that way in return, I can still hold them close and be there for them the way I think friends are supposed to be.

I can manage how personally responsible I feel for other people’s sourness. I’ve also learned that a good way to drive people away is to always be sour, and I know better than to dwell on the negative things now.

I can be friendly and make friends and find people to confide in who want to be there for me. I can keep their secrets. We can form friendships that can last awhile and probably then some.

I can choose what to tell people about myself and my day, especially the ones I’m not sure I trust with my secrets.

And I can love.

I can.

Two hours left (before my self-imposed End-Of-Freshman-Year-Deadline) to make this paper mind-blowingly awesome.

Leggo.
