(no subject)

So sometimes I get nervous and stressed and worried and anxious about college, and I worry that I'm going to spend four years and stupid amounts of money accomplishing nothing but being lonely and sad. When that happens, I think to myself: ladyjaida  went to college, and look how awesome she is! She wrote Shoebox and a book and fell in love and graduated with amazing grades and a major in a really cool and interesting topic. So when I hit a bad spot, I think: What would Jaida do?

Usually the answer is, "be more awesome," which isn't precisely helpful, but I find it vaguely reassuring anyways.

I can't decide if this makes me more pathetic or creepy. I am such a DORK, honestly, but it does help, in a way. At least, it helps to know that someone made it through college in such a kickass fashion, although I can hardly hope to live up to even a fraction of that example. And she blogged about college sometimes, and sometimes it sucked and sometimes she loved it, and that's realistic enough that even I can relate to it after a grand total of a week and a half in higher education.

So... thank you, ladyjaida , for managing to inspire me by sheer virtue of being an accomplished woman, a fascinating blogger, and an enviably cool person overall.

(Oh my god, DORK, I am such a. *flails around awkwardly*)
