How I did it
How to donate hair to Locks of Love
It took me
5 years
It made me

How I did it: I walked into a hair salon. I told them to cut off at least 10 inches to donate to Locks of Love. That was pretty much it. I've meant to do this for years, but my hair grows rather slowly and is prone to split ends (not to mention, been dyed pink, red, and green at various points during adolescence) so I finally just did it last week. :) Read how I did it…

I'm not sure yet...

How I did it: Unfortunately, I did poorly my Freshman year. I was miserable. I've obviously considered transferring a lot since then, but since my gpa was so poor, I was in trouble. Last summer (two years later), I decided to apply to Truman State University and just see what happened. Lo and behold, I was accepted.

So I’m thinking about filling out apps to Truman State, Evergreen, and Webster.

Meet some of my LJ friends
I met greeneyedai on Saturday!

greeneyedai and I (823freckles) bonded over The Office, and then realized that she had spent a semester at the college I go to (Loyola, eckyuck). So she was visiting some friends at Loyola this weekend, and we met up for coffee and chatted for an hour. It was nice. :)

make friends at college (read all 2 entries…)
Friends.

Rachel, Kim, Juan, Amy, Carl, Jim, Kevin, Alex, Corbin, Vicki.

Things are still certainly far from perfect at this school or with these friends. Sometimes, I still consider transferring. But I don’t feel so alone here anymore.
