Beautiful Days

It's so refreshing to walk outside on a January day to surprisingly warm weather. Yes I know, global warming is all the buzz and something terrible may be happening to the earth that makes it close to the 50's in January, but who can complain?
What I love most about warm days like this is the not only the fact that a light jacket will suffice, but that everyone (myself included) is just so happy. I love walking around campus to smiling faces and hearing so many people talk about how gorgeous it is outside.
I'm so motivated in nice weather. I want to go running for hours, soak up the vitamin D, and just appreciate nature. My mood is significantly better, and my troubles seem to magically melt away. I can even handle my schoolwork, in fact I look forward to getting it done.
But now, back to French class, work, commitments..
And most importantly, enjoying the rest of my day.

On the surface and as a whole, I'm a simple girl. I know what I like and what I dislike, I go about my days in a very routine manner, and I rarely find myself in trouble.
But I'm more than that. My thoughts, opinions and dreams are intricate and scattered beyond belief. My life is more than what it seems, and I keep many things to myself.
But I just want to write. I want to put my thoughts somewhere besides my head, where I can have the satisfaction of releasing mental weight from my mind. I want to write about obscure thoughts, opinions, relationships, college, change, and everything else that comes to mind.
So let me start, I'm eighteen years old. Born in Florida, raised on the coast in Southern Maine. Currently a first year student at Truman State in Missouri. Not a clue what I want to do with my life besides enjoy it. I'm a thinker, practical, homesick, somewhat spontaneous, confused, and overall happy girl.
I'm Emily.
