new beginnings

Most of you know I'm still in high school. I have about 1 1/4 years left until I graduated :D

I can't tell you how excited I am to go on to college! Some of you know my real name (Alyssa), and that's what I go by for almost everyone I know. This year I've been introducing myself to knew people as Fai. It comes from my middle name (Faith) and is also a different spelling of my mom's mom's name. When I get to college I plan on starting new and I think if I give myself my nickname now, I will feel comfortable with it in a little while!

The reason why I want a new start is because I want to leave everything in the past. There are people at my high school that I want to forget, people I've met at other schools that I also want to forget. I don't understand how people could ever say high school is the best yrs of your life, because it really isn't. I really dislike the atmosphere at my school. It feels like people are trying to one up each other with their looks and wealth. Like those that have the most money are the "popular preppy kids" and those less than them are the outcasts. No matter how many friends that outcast my have, they are still considered "weird" or "lame". I'm sure this is the same at other high schools but I really dislike it. 

So I am going to be really excited to go to college! I will go by my new nickname, get a matching tattoo with my sister, possibly get another ear piercing cuz why not, I'll try to be more outgoing and make lots of friends. I might wear contacts/get new glasses lol. The list of things I want to do can be endless! AND, I will be going to the same college my sister is going to! The best part is that I know I will be going to school to become what I want to be! I wI'll major in Linguistics, minor in Chinese Studies and probably something else. Knowing that college will get me where I want to be is what keeps me going everyday. If I hadn't found kpop, I would not ever know about my passion for learning languages. I also would be still wondering what the hell I wanted to do after college and would probably explode because I don't even remember what I did before kpop lolol.

Anywaayyy, I hope you all have a great weekend!

Everything you said is SO TRUE. High school is nowhere NEAR the best years of your life. It's after high school, when you have the freedom to learn who you really are, and aren't contained in a box full of people who are trying to make you fit into their constraints and teach you stuff that you will never use again in your lifetime. Once you are out of high school you can spread your wings and be whomever you want to be, and meet people who are going through the same thing - experiencing freedom for the first time. You will love it!!! <3
