Semester in Review

5/13/11 

I am officially done with my sophomore year of college. I am officially halfway done with college. I am officially scared out of my mind (the real world?!)

I feel uninvolved with USC, unenthralled with my major, and not ready for the future. There are many things that I hoped would happen by now that haven’t (boyfriend, internship, more close friends, etc). But there are also many things that I didn’t expect to happen that did. Sometimes good, sometimes terrible; all in all, it’s been an exciting two years.

I always say I’m looking for a boyfriend. Someone who will always be my date to invite, will want to hang out and watch TV with me on the weekend, will always be up for an adventure. It upsets me that this is so important to me, seeing how much of a progressive woman I pretend to be… but it’s something that I’ll always be on the look out for.

I always wait around for something to happen to me, but that’s not going to get me anywhere. The problem is that I don’t know how to start the search, how to meet new people and create meaningful friendships/relationships with people unless the universe intervenes just a little. It’s not like I’m meeting anyone though my classes or the earthquake center. And it seems too late to get involved on campus. WHAT DO I DO?!

I am unbelievably excited for the summer, and being at home for a little while and then spending my time traipsing around Los Angeles and doing exciting things with my friends who are also staying in LA. I hope that it lives up to my expectations and surprises me in great ways. I also hope that Regal Rita #12 becomes the next Troy 209.

I recently went through my journal and read some old entries, including the one above. What struck me about this sophomore year wrap-up is that a lot of the slumpiness of sophomore year has been completely changed amidst my junior jolt. I’ve become more involved (concerts committee), made awesome new friends (through concerts committee, but I’ve also become closer to other friends that weren’t in my “core” friend group before), met an awesome guy, and found some awesome internships to get myself into the music industry.

It all speaks to the power of the universe. Beginning with my amazing Goldenvoice internship, I met the director of Concerts Committee. She encouraged me to apply, and I joined E-board. Because of that, I’ve met amazing people that have become my friends, this concerts family, and I’ve had so many awesome experiences because of it (concerts bonding, late night pho, taking a limo around Los Angeles and getting in-n-out).

The universe also showed me that someone I had completely friend-zoned is actually perfect for me. He texts me nice things, takes care of me, compliments me all the time, and is always down to watch TV and snuggle. He is the guy I’ve been waiting for, and if the universe hadn’t thrown us together multiple times, I never would have realized how wonderful he is.
