Sunday at Luther!

Today I went to Luther College to watch my brother play football. He’s the quarterback there, and he plays on JV to get playing time. He’s been working hard for the last six years for this time to come. Seeing him succeed in sports is the best feeling ever. I also got to see my parents. It’s just not the same as it was before. Today they just bothered me, I could actually feel the independence setting in. It was just weird. They tell me what to do, and I just have the attitude of “I can do it without you”. They know about my roommate problems, so they just keep bugging me about it. I just don’t think they understand. I have tried so hard to get her to understand, but she just doesn’t have any consideration or respect for me. My parents just think I can be mean to her all the time which would solve my problems. They keep yelling at me to change roommates, but I’ve talked to people and they can’t switch me right now. After the game, we went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant which was amazingly awesome! I talked to my brother, and we had our special time together. We haven’t had time together for quite some time because football takes up most of his time. It’s always good to have the short amount of time, it makes it mean a lot more. This whole weekend has been really stressful because of homework and a chem. Test tomorrow, but I think I have it under control. College is really all about managing your time wisely, and I think it’s very difficult. It’s going to take me awhile to get used to all of it. Seeing my brother today probably wasn’t a very good choice, but I felt as if it was something I had to do. I’ve been struggling with my roommate to the point where I didn’t even sleep in our room. Seeing my brother made me happy, and he made me feel like I can make it another week. He gave me hope, and I don’t know what I’d do without him! I call him whenever I have a bad incident that I don’t know how to encounter. Right now, my life is really hectic with school, work, and my horrible roommate. I don’t know what to do sometimes. I try so hard to overcome my challenges by myself, but sometimes we need a hand. I go crazy some days just because I need to let it all out. I’m giddy all the time just to make me feel like everything is going to be okay. I have to keep telling myself everything happens for a reason. Seeing my brother today helped me with my mental state, and he made sure I was okay with everything that was going on. I talked to my parents about everything, so I got most of it off my chest. I’m filtered and flourished; I’m ready for the next week to come.
