other random thoughts.
while compiling my list of things that reminded me of being 13, i failed to include “ty beanie babies” and “jelly roll pens” to this list. two things that i obsessively collected and probably spent way too much money on.

beanie babies are actually really cute. we ended up donating all of ours last summer to an oranization that gives the beanies to u.s. soldiers to give to children in iraq. i almost bought a giraffe beanie the other day at our neighborhood drug store. do i really want to get into all that again?

and i had every single color ever possible in jelly roll pens. the lighting kind. the glitter kind. the solid colors. they were obvious essentials for writing to my numerous pen pals. no joke. i had like eight pen pals. most of which i met on vacation.

so. i finally gave in and dropped my first class ever. for a while i didn’t want to drop because the class i dropped only had six students in it. and i didn’t want to make the professor feel bad. thank goodness chelsea and amy snapped me into reality.

in hind sight, it was probably one of the best decisions i’ve made in a long time. but for some reason, in my head, i kept telling myself that if i dropped a class, i was somehow giving up on what i set my mind to. and that somehow made me a failure.

and yeah, i am giving up, but i think it’s for the better. well, for the better of my mental health at least.

and i think that’s sort of important.
