I can't believe how far I've come. It seems as though only last week I dreamed of becoming one of those shiny, perfect hipsters I've read about on LiveJournal. Now I'm one of them. Truthfully though, I'm 18 and it feels so peculiar to be standing on the threshold of college; moreover adulthood, and now -- during a warm midsummer night -- I realize how thankful I am for all the people, ideas, and media that shaped me into the person I am today.

I'm excited for college! After browsing the catalog of available classes, I look forward to an exciting new year of learning. (Especially since AP scores are in and I did surprisingly well)
