College philosophical discussions about differences at the cafeteria
Going to college has taught me to be more tolerant of people who are different of myself. Looking back on the beginning of the year, I'm shocked at how untolerant I was of others. Shocking, I know.

i still mix up all the old embarassing stuff with my new favorites; i can't help it! something about blink 182, for example, still makes me smile. i'm no longer "aghhh grr i am little punk only they know my inner teenage angst!" but i can enjoy it for what it is a lot more now.
also, i found glitter mini 9's "kiss the liberator" cd at goodwill (in olympia! crazy, right?) and they are even better than i remember. also, i can listen to them now and not worry about my parents hearing every time they cuss.
(on a side note -- i'm not dead! i swear! i just decided to take 20 credits. man, that was dumb.)
