new college, new start

I attended the student orientation this past weekend (Connecticon as well) and I found 2 new friends Lita; Quinn as well as meeting up with Alyssa (we share the exact same birthday the same year and everything) Quinn and Lita go to anime cons as well. we ended the two day-venture with "breaking into bay path" where our partners held a board while the other would break it.

I dislike therapists

and here's why: it is my belief that I don't need to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to some shrink to solve my own problems.
but then, I remembered how much my junior high counselor helped the pain of my late grandpa's death back in 2001 (no he didn't die on 9/11, he died of unknown causes but we believe he suffered a heart attack or his heart just stopped working.) I was a month short of celebrating my eleventh birthday and I miss him a lot from time to time just like I miss my grandma too.
I would like to say that there isn't anything a therapist can do that I couldn't to help my own problems but that would be a lie.

occupy movement: suicide prevention

the occupy movements have been going on for a long time now. I heard that not one but two young sixteen year olds committed suicide in less than a few weeks apart. I am deeply saddened over the whole thing. Not that I knew them personally, but I went to high school with the girl's older sister.
I found a facebook page in memory of the girl's suicide. It's mission was to promote prevention of suicide, obviously. Now this makes sense that a few of the people on my facebook friend list have said they'd go to the suicide prevention hug day at the local mall. It was probably in their memory. I remember Kelly, she only lived down the street from my house. Whenever I take a walk, I sometimes pass by her garden her friends made for her. I say a prayer for her and her family.
I always thought what could be going through a person's mind if they're contemplating ending their life. Thoughts of loneliness, isolation, revenge. Not only does your life belong to that individual but to everyone surrounding them. So I hope nobody comes to that awful conclusion. No matter how terrible one's life might seem, there's a healthy way out.

I was accepted!!!

horray for me I was accepted to Bay Path college for next fall to further my degree in early child education! I am also eligible for 1 to 4 scholarships. Now my next goal is getting my driver's license. I have to ^^ I will have to take the MTEL tests and pass them, if I do that successfully I will be certified to teach in the state of MA (:

time goes on, and no recent entry?

yeah, sorry guys but it looks like I neglected this blog for months. I guess I don't have much to talk about but I went to the casino this past weekend to gamble for the first official time. Despite I lost more than I won ha that's usually how it goes at those places. It was fun though, got to see friends I haven't seen in a while and I'm in my second to last semester at ACC yay me for almost being done. I just hope I finish pretty decent. I'll tell yah, taking biology about four years since the last time I took it (my sophomore year) the information comes back but it's kinda rusty ):
oh and I forgot to mention about that earthquake, turns out it was on my 21st birthday haha. A friend of mine said "the earth is saying happy birthday by giving you a handshake" lol
while at the casino, my friend of mine who's twenty-six wants her first child soon and I'm kinda worried for her since she informed me that she's greater risk for postpartum depression since she's short and skinny. I hope the best for her.
