Back in session

You never really know what to expect when a new school year begins. It's a blank slate and while you may not be able to reinvent yourself from geek to jock the way you wanted to when you began college, there's always room for change.

I noticed summer's ending. It just sort of happened. One day I was putting on pencil skirts and going to an internship and the next I was trading in my windowless office for a dorm room...again.

Maybe you found summer love. Maybe you found summer heartbreak. Maybe you found something you never expected. Maybe you found yourself. Maybe you moved on from something. Whatever the case may be, I hope it was a summer to remember.

If you're like me and heading back into a lecture hall in a few days, take some love advice for the semester. I should tell you that you can do whatever your heart desires when it comes to your love life this semester. Yea, I should tell you that. But, it's a lie. Because who knows who or what will cross your path. Just stay true to yourself and stay happy. Because if you aren't true to yourself and you aren't happy, you'll never be able to fully offer yourself to someone else.

Oh, and to regurgitate advice I've been given before, don't waste your time on people who don't deserve it. Love or otherwise. Don't always expect the worst from people but don't always try to bring out the best in them if they simply are not worthy of you.

Get your head in the game, kid. School's back in session.

Love freely,
