Cue music. Maybe this will help.
Five years.
From
a year in residence, three semesters living with international
students, European travels which had me in four countries in a single
day, serving sesame chicken in the plaza, TA-ing in a chemistry lab,
celebrating my 19th with sheep + Mickey d's cupcakes, my 21st in the Red
Light District en route to Paris, trick-o-treating at an age one would
usually go out to the night clubs, to many many nights of food and conversations with the Waterloo girls.

Where
to start? I came to University not knowing a single person, UW wasn't
even on my radar until I came to visit Toronto X-mas 06 and realized how
much bigger the world is outside of my hometown and felt an urge to
break out of my shell and safety net. I wasn't too sure if I should
write this post but it has been a long time since I've written a 'real'
Dolly post aka deep blog spot. I've met some people that have changed my
life for the better, pushed myself beyond my limits, became closer to
my family, tested out career paths, experienced love as well as heartbreak, accepted myself and my dance moves, been a shoulder to cry
on, cried on multiple shoulders, had eleven job interviews, failed at pulling my one and only all-nighter, ate too many happy meals, and just lived. |
