I don't really know what motivated me to start doing this... I actually looked up an old blog I had to write for a class last semester. I remember high-school blogs like livejournal and xanga and laugh! God people were so dumb back then. Its ok for me to make fun of them because I was a high-school blogger, too. I would pour my heart out onto those e-pages just hoping someone would look at them and be like, "wow. she is so cool. I HAVE to be friends with her." I don't even know if anyone is going to read this now. Anyway.
My name is Caitlin. I am twenty years old and attend the University of Florida. For those of you who go here, you KNOW it is not the picture of serenity. People are rushing in and out of class, power-walking through Turlington Plaza, bitch-slapping anyone who crosses their very direct paths, and doing the mexican standoff with anyone who is walking in the line of fire.
My job, I have decided, is to learn how to take all of the craziness in, do some work on it inside my head, and translate it into some peace and quiet. One thing I struggle with the most, though, is worrying about how other people are seeing me while I am out doing my day-to-day campus tasks. The reality of it is that nobody gives a shit. I know I couldn't give two green apples what other people are doing!! Ill try to remember that the next time I purse my lips trying to be as cute as possible for the attractive guy hopping onto the bus. I need to stop obsessing about the trivial stuff and keep my focus on my goals; Get A's, learn how to be mentally peaceful, and for the love of god find some fucking meaning in this crazy mess! Here's my first step to finding serenity:
