one day i realized that i only write down my sad and bad moments. i know this is how i express my feelings sometimes, but i figured that it would be nice to leave some happy moments so when i look back at my old posts, i remember these good moments i had.
second week of sophomore just ended, yet it felt like it's been a long time since i've been back at penn state. people say that time passes by faster when you're having fun, but i think sometimes it doesn't describe the happy moments quite well. maybe when i find a better way to describe how my happy moments feel like, i'll write it down.
i don't remember much from the first week, but i'm just so happy to be back at the happiest valley and have my freedom and see all my friends! during summer, just the thought of starting a new school year, living with a new roommate, and making new friends sounded so scary, but i'm just more than grateful to be living with my now-roommate, Alison, now. She is so nice, ambitious, funny, and easy to talk to! plus she sleeps and gets up early, which i hope will be a good influence on me! shihan is living on my floor again so i eat most of my meals with her at the commons, sometimes on weekends we would go out to eat. i really enjoy having her company, or else i would be basically forever alone. on a side note, i never realized that i was a slow eater until i came to penn state where literally everyone around me eats so fast like they haven't eaten all day.
i've got to meet up with some old friends also.
julia and bernicia now lives in west, because of how heavenly the chocolate chip cookies are (they went all out for the cookies smh), but honestly i'm not a big cookie fan so i think they'll probably grow tired of it pretty soon. since who can really stand eating cookies every day?! but it's just so nice to be around them. even though i miss being with them basically 24/7, i love love love my new room and my new lifestyle (i guess) now.
I met up with lauren for a lunch date also. even though we aren't like those friends who never run out of things to talk about, but whenever i speak, i always feel that lauren is paying 100% attention on what im saying, and her comments are always so nice, so gentle, and just so understanding, i'm not sure if this even makes sense. but i absolutely love her and our inside jokes and good memories from last year.
i also got to see ronnie a lot, and it's just great. i still can tell him random stuff and joke with him, and i listen to his new crush and his old crushes and his frat and other things. somehow he talked me into rushing. and we'll see how it goes though. it's just a wonderful feeling knowing that someone trusts and appreciates me enough to call me one of their best friends.
fall semester also means football season! this year i managed to get up at 4am california time during summer to get season tickets. although it was a lot of money, it's just great to not have to worry about tickets and getting ripped off like last year. the first game was against UCF at ireland (i don't know why) but we won with a field goal in the last 3 seconds. the game kicked off in the morning around 8 i believe and being the lazy butt i am i didn't wake up to watch it. i was awake when the game was ending, i could hear cheering sounds from downtown! i immediately texted jack because he keeps up with the scores but at that time we were losing by 1 (or two i forgot) points with 3 seconds left. after 3 seconds (hahaha) there's "we are" chants coming from downtown! this is why i love my school so much. even though there's so many people, we are have the same love towards penn state ahh i love it so much.
this weekend we had the first home game. in the morning i met up with ronnie and listened to his story from the night before, and later before the game i headed over with shihan, claire, and winnie. we were kind of late so we got seats on the last row
^^my eyes are cut off in a selfie i took...smh vivian, from left to right, me, laura, claire, winnie, shihan^^
during the game, i got so hyper for some reason and i ended up almost losing my voice and i got kinda sick (idk if it's related to screaming so much) but i didn't realize how much i missed football games until i was there.
i'll end this weeks post with some photos, and maybe i'll include some other details in next week's if i remember them.
\
^^winnie and claire got separated with us so we ended up sitting in different sections but it's just right next to each other. but shihan and i took some fun selfies!^^
^^
^^when the game was coming to an end, shihan and i went to find my old roommate, julia, and floormate, linda, and my hallmate, krunal (haha pennypacker reunion!). from left to right, krunal, shihan, julia, linda, me. this is probably one of my favorite pictures of my friends and i even though i look kinda funny, but oh well that's what happens when you're the only friend who's into taking tons of group selfies haha^^
^^lol thanks to shihan for such a flattering picture of me (not)^^
^^saw a guy wearing the same shirt as me so obviously i had to take a picture with him!^^

ooops! forgot to mention, for the first home game we played against akron, and obviously we won! with 24:3! happy day for penn state!!
