as if it were a phenomenon

So, I know I have not posted in forever. Well, I am back, because I miss blogging a lot. I know no one probably reads my blog anymore, but that is okay. 
Many things have changed since I last posted.
1) I no longer reside in Vegan House, and instead I live with my boyfriend and his brother in a townhouse about a 10 minute drive from campus
2) I, surprisingly enough, have a job.
3) My hair has gotten longer. I dress better now because I have to look good for work. I have gotten in trouble several times, and in the end out of frustration, I just did a semi wardrobe makeover.
4) I have been accepted into a MLS program, and will most likely be living in San Marcos for the next 2 years
5) I am a lot happier now. I am still a student, but things are looking up, for once in my life

I am supposed to be studying for an exam right now. However, it is excruciating boring. Antigen receptors and MHC? Yeah, no. 
Stress is still plaguing me and millions of other 20-somethings, but it is a bit more manageable now. 
Because I now receive a paycheck, it means I can actually afford things now. Namely, good food.  I went to Whole Foods with Leighton and Lena yesterday, and it was way more fun then it should have been. I purchased a bag of scallops, walnut brownies, cake, and coffee as a present for Leighton being patient with my shopping habits.
Things I love now: etsy (as always, I keep buying things from there it's kind of an addiction make it stop please), Bed Bath & Beyond (because yes I am a middle-aged white woman), pricey sushi (because whoa I did not know sushi could possibly taste this good), and mochi ice cream.

I still have a lot of problems. I am still awfully awkward in social situations, I still don't know how to do small talk, and if Plan A does not work out, I have no Plan B to resort to.

But I think I am getting the hang of life, something I thought would never happen. Gone are the endless days I spent moping around in my bed, full of anxious thoughts and dreams.

I will be posting more, so be on the lookout, darlings :)
