Take Back The Night

So here I am, sitting in Mercer Court and I couldn't be happier! If you aren't aware, I attend one of the greatest universities ever, the University of Washington! Let me just being by saying thank you to the beautiful city of Seattle for making me fall in love with you, and helping me call this place home for a second year. Going to college has ALWAYS been a goal for me and I just know that I couldn't be any happier at any other place. The classes, the architecture, the people, my amazing friends...what more could you ask for? This is probably the best place to discover yourself and be creative. I just feel so blessed to be here and it got me thinking, EVERYONE should be able to experience this perfection. I look at my room, my campus, and I just see a place that I call home. I look at my beautiful group of friends I have acquired and I can't help but want to cry. This is a crazy amount of happiness that I have never experienced before. While I can't disclose the name of my close-knit group of friends for ratchet reasons, just know that I am surrounded by amazingness. I usually am not the one to brag, but let me just tell y'all, these people are PHENOMENAL. They understand me, and I can literally be myself around them. I never find myself holding back in protection from judgement, I just simply act how I want -- when I want. That is something that is hard to find... but I found with my PPP's! I love them so much, and I am just so happy that we are all here again, ready to make campus our stomping ground! Last year was nothing short of perfection. We made a little family, and had the time of our lives! We had fights, make ups, hiccups, and turn ups -- and I wouldn't change a thing! But let it be known, this year we are coming back with a BANG, socially AND academically. We will take back the night AND the classrooms. This year is going to be something to talk about and I am just feeling beyond blessed. I feel like so many things are starting to fall in place now that I am here and it just brings me back to myself. 

Everyone should be able to experience this euphoria. It just takes some recycling of your friends. Find people that have your best interests in mind, and see you for the person that you REALLY are. Be yourself, don't be afraid of rejection. Go out there, make this world your stomping ground, and take back your life. Take back control. Take back the REAL you and show the world what you're REALLY made of.
