<p>I know what you mean! I’m somewhat studious…I study when I need to. I love reading though (My favorite book might be between Wuthering heights, or the hunch back of Notre dame-victor hugo is amazing). However, I love to go out and have fun:)</p>
<p>I’m into reading too, and I love writing 
I’m living in the dorm my first year strictly for the social element of it, and getting the whole college experience, but I am definitely not into crazy, potentially illegal parties. Hopefully my roomie isn’t either!</p>
<p>I love writing, too! It’s a secret, guilty pleasure of mine. Ah, pastiest are okay with me, but I just go to make sure my friends don’t get into trouble. I’d only be in it for the dancing, not into getting drunk. It’s much more entertaining to watch others get completely waste, and make very, very stupid mistakes.</p>
<p>What kind of writing do you do? and I can definitely see the entertainment it that, especially when you can always be like “hey, do you remember that time…”</p>
<p>“Remember that time you claimed to be super man, and I had to stop you from jumping off the roof of the house?”</p>
<p>True story!</p>
<p>Any writing, really. My best is creative writing, however, where there’s no boundries for my imagination. Sometimes articles, though it’s really not my strongest writing. Except one was, surprisingly, published…which is really beyond me, lol.</p>
<p>I totally want to be you when I grow up I’ve wanted to be published since forever, but I write little romance novels and post them on a website named Wattpad… or I used to when I had free time. Are you going to do something involving writing when you’re in college?</p>
<p>Well, honestly…I don’t know what I’m going to do. I mean, I’ve writen a few lengthy novels (Those weren’t published) but writing just isn’t…realistic enough. I need a more stable major to get into. Besides, most of getting published is really based upon luck-I have some awful luck, let me tell you. I might get into marketing, and advertising…something that will allow me to contribute my creativity, because it’s really all I have. I’m really not good at much of anything. I’m not trying to be negative, of course, just bluntly honest. I may get a minor in creative writing, though. I know that, no matter where I end up in life, I’ll always write…even if it’s just for myself. It’s one of the only things that really make my happy. Many people find it as ammature, and pathetic, but it’s true. I just need to major in something that will pay the bills.</p>
<p>You remind me so much of myself! For the longest time I wanted to be an author but it just wasn’t a stable enough career choice, so I looked into the science/medicine field since there’s high expected job growth and I figured that if I’m going to work and it’s going to be boring regardless I might as well get filthy rich doing it Have you ever considered being a publisher/editor? I know it’s nowhere near as much fun as actually writing or reading for pleasure but you’d still get to read all day and maybe one day you could pull a few strings and get your own work published.</p>
<p>I’ve considered that, too. I’ve considered EVERYTHING that involves writing-journalism, as well. The world just doesn’t need writers. When they do, though, they hardly paid enough to get by. Writers, no matter the particular kind, just get the short straw of the situation. A lot of them just let it slide through their fingertips, and don’t grasp onto it tight enough. Many people like to think, “Writing isn’t serious enough”. I literally laugh when someone says, “Writing is easy.” No, it’s not easy-it’s actually very difficult. It’s a craft, and a craft is something you need to mold, and shape into perfection. It’s takes so much self disapline to nail down on it, and people don’t understand that. Surprisingly enough, my father (Who has always told us not to get lost in our dreams, but instead find a stable job) wants me to get into writing. He sees how much I really adore it. For now, though, I’ll just be known as the girl with a wild imagination, who isn’t satisfied with her own world.</p>
<p>Writing keeps us writers sane, and everyone else can take it or leave it. And as much as everyone likes to glamorize it, being a starving artist is not fun at all. I’m glad you aren’t going to stop writing either though, as much as writers are under-appreciated I am struggling to find any good writing anymore!</p>
<p>I know! It’s all just so awful. I mean, take the twilight series, for example. I read that to boost myself confidence. If that can get published, I at least have a chance. The characters are foil, and thin. None of them grow, the plot is dry. It seems like the author just ate a dictionary, and threw up words at random! lol. However, one series that I’ve always thought was pretty good was the Hunger Games:)</p>
<p>Demure: where did u find out about the honors decision? Online or through the mail? </p>
<p>I handed in my application today while I was up there</p>
<p>WRITE: I am really excited for the Hunger Games movie coming out, I only read the first book but it was really good I’m into a lot of the adult romance books, but it’s gotten to the point where I’ve read so many that I’m kind of getting bored with them.</p>
<p>dolphin: I got a letter in the mail from the Burnett Honors college just informing me that I got accepted and there were two papers talking about Honors housing. I hope you get in :)</p>
<p>Only the first?! That is Un-american!
You must read the others, they’re great. The third is very intense, but you really get to see the characters grow. If I see you at UCF, I have all the books-I’ll lend them to you:)</p>
<p>The dorm rooms aren’t that big so if you have a lot of books you’ll have to prioritize which ones you need to bring down Maybe they’ll have copies in the Barnes and Nobles oncampus too, and I can just sit down and read it there if I’m waiting for my afternoon classes or something.</p>
<p>I completely forgot about books:/ I’ll bring the hunger games, of course. Wuthering heights, hunch back…ah, this will be hard! Being out of state, I’m bringing my life down with me.</p>
<p>Even living as close as I do it will be a huge adjustment to decide what I can and can’t live without, but I can’t even imagine what it will be like coming from out of state, there’s so many details that go into moving to a new place!</p>
<p>I know:( For one thing, I need a whole new wardrobe. My whole closet basically consists of winter clothing, which can NOT be worn in Florida, unless I want a heat stroke. So, I need summer clothes. I also need many dorm items, including simple things like a miniature ironing board, to iron clothes. Then there’s finnanchal things to do down there. Once down, during summer term, I need to find a job. Then, I need to open up a savings or checking account down there, depending. I also need to sign up for a debit card soon, because using checks will be too much work. That’s not even that half of it:/</p>
<p>I know it’s weird but I get really excited when I think of all the things I have to do before I move away from home, it’s going to be a ton of work but at the same time it’s a huge deal and I naively see it as a fun adventure–I’m sure my feelings will change closer to startling college when panic sets in :)</p>
<p>Panic is already setting in for me:) I have a mental list of everything I need, and I have none of it yet.</p>
