portrait of a college freshman, right now

I didn't change out of my pajamas until after noon, and I've spent 75 percent of today in bed watching my church's semiannual broadcast and knitting a scarf I've been working on for over a year. I wore socks with bicycles on them with my birkenstocks to lunch, and I haven't washed my hair in a few days. Makeup is just not happening. I'm procrastinating my homework with logic puzzles and sorting through old photos. My bed got so rumpled that washing my sheets and starting over seemed easier than making the bed. James Bay's "Let It Go" is on repeat. There's a half empty bag of chocolate pretzels in between the little bites muffins and stack of cheese crackers on my shelf. My desk is a mess and my to do list only has like 2 things checked off. My roommate and I were up until 3 am talking about the latest edition of BYU's dating magazine and pinching ourselves because we'll be done with our first year of college in 17 days. This is real life right now- messy, imperfect, and really happy.

Sincerely, mad
