Apartment life in a nutshell.

It’s pretty fun, way different than dorms. I find that the biggest issue is conflicting personal preferences, like cleaniness vs. messiness, having it your way vs. letting other people have their way, etc. The issues aren’t bad though, and if everyone is honest and open in their communication, there’s no problem.

Life is pretty much.. Cook.. go to class.. work out.. see some people.. come home and sleep. It really is relaxing to come back to the apartment and I find myself missing it and wanting to go back after a long day of work or play. People in my apartment are zany and hilarious, so that always makes life interesting.

I think I can go to all my classes this year. It just takes major discipline, which it’s about time for me to develop.

Summer lessons, 1-4.

Whoops, been a while since my last post. I guess since summer is closing to an end, it’s a good time to reflect on mistakes I’ve made and the things I’ve learned.
Lesson #1: Giving advice is great; learning to listen is even better.
I’m all about giving advice; in fact I think I have been through a lot and have come out of it all with some words to say. However, regardless of how ‘important’ I think the stuff I have to say is, sometimes people just don’t care to hear it. Sometimes, a good word of advice is simply not what they need to hear at the moment.
Sometimes when I gave people advice, they chose not to take it (even though I’m pretty sure I knew what I was talking about.) Then I feel like crap because a) they didn’t heed my advice and b) I’m 99% sure they’re going to receive the badstuff that I warned them they would. I guess it’s also important for people to make their own mistakes and come to their own conclusions about what they did wrong. I think actually going through the mistake sometimes leaves a lasting impact that will spur someone on to change faster than simply listening to some old dude tell them stuff.
