Hi everyone! Wanted to rant a little before I go crazy.

I've just come home from my second semester at college (woohoo, I'm a sophomore now!), and I am super bummed. Why? Because at college, I actually had a life even though I was in a really crappy dorm and took way too hard of classes. At home, I'm like a recluse. I have no life and no one wants to hang out.

At college, I got to make friends really easily because I joined marching band (I know. Sounds geeky, but I love band). I made some of my best friends due to MB, and I'll never forget the freshman mistakes we made together. We saw each other all the time and it was great! 

What was even greater was that I joined an international dance club at my university, and I loved it ever since. I was so nervous to be in the club, but after 2 semesters in I absolutely love it and I cherish the friendships I made with upper classmen. I even choreographed a dance to EXO's Overdose (different from their choreo), and I will hopefully be able to perform it next semester! 

I love college so much because I met so many great people and I got to study things I am actually interested in! It was great!

At home is so much different. I don't have a job because my town is really small and doesn't have a lot of job openings for people that only stay in the summer. I don't have a care to drive most of the time because my dad is at work and my brother goes to school. So it's just me and my mom at home, chilling. It's fine that I'm chilling and relaxing from the stress of college because then I can focus on learning different things, catch up on reading leisurely, start writing again, and start dancing and exercising! But that always goes down hill, doesn't it?

My mom absolutely refuses to let me go on a walk or hike by myself. Granted, I know that in society's eyes it's dangerous for a young adult woman to go outside all by herself, but sometimes I need a break from the world from any persecution. I want to be able to dance outside without my mom telling me it's too provactive, and I want to be able to go for a car ride to the beach and just hang out by myself or with my friends. 

My parents are both great people, and they are very supportive of most of the things I do, but they are sometimes too involved. I just want to be by myself sometimes. I sometimes need to do my own thing without anyone judging me. I need some peace.

Sorry for the rant. I just hate being stuck in the house all the time. 

Good news though. I helped my dad fix up the pool and hopefully it will be clean in the week. 

I'll get to go swimming! Ever try dancing in a swimming pool? Really good exercise!

Anyway, that's it. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm going to try and enjoy my vacation <3
