savannah!

i think when people talk about recreating yourself in college, it takes a lot more effort than it seems like it would. over here, i basically have stayed the same and made the friends i probably would have made in high school if they wouldve gone there. so nothings really changed except the fact that we're at college and we live together etc etc. when i first got to college, i think i felt like you do but things get better and better. hopefully it goes for you like that too. perk up and maybe i'll send you something!

we'll have to hang out over thanksgiving or christmas or something.

when i first read this entry, i thought, wow, that's so different than my experience here. but then i thought, is it really? i love vassar so much now that i couldn't remember what it was like in the beginning, if i struggled at first just like you. so, i went back to my old deadjournal entries from the very beginning of freshman year to find out. and, what do you know? turns out i had a reeeally hard time here at first too, feeling like i didn't belong and missing home and especially the people just so so so so much. it's crazy how foreign that all is to me now - i honestly can't even put myself back there enough to really remember how that felt. it's all changed so much since then. so, i guess what i'm saying is... it'll be hard for a while. that's normal. you're thrown into something completely new and expected to make friends in the blink of an eye and the truth is it just doesn't work like that. i can't think of any of my best friends here that i met in the first week, or even in the first month (or maybe two or three ( ... )

Savannah!
I'm going to send you a letter soon. I promise. Probably not the Royal Tennebaums, however. ; )
I miss you too. Being the oldest kids in the school on Thursday was both awesome and scary. But mostly just awesome.
And I want to let you know (you may already know) that you gave me the best advice I've ever been given about boys: It will happen when you least expect it to. (it did. we broke up, though. but it was worth it. we're still really good friends. not a lot changed.)
And I have full faith that you will make friends who love you the way I do. Friends who make staying up till 4 AM worth it, and friends who make you feel included. I'll say a prayer for you tonight.
Much Love, Kate

I have the new Sufjan Stevens cd if you'd like me to burn it and send it to you..with lots of love of course.
And don't worry- it won't take long for everyone to realize what an amazing person you are.
