1. Choosing to go college in a different state.

2. Having an on-campus job that I learned from.

3. Choosing to live in my sorority house.

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
