I know this is pretty much the same as friendship, but whatever, get over it. I have more than one friend.
I have found some of the best friends here at Valpo.
I love all of them a lot, and despite only having knowing them for a month, we can already be ourselves around each other, and talk about personal stuff with each other.
I don't know what I would do without my friends here.
Everyone needs someone there for them. Without any social life, we would probably go crazy.
But also, I'm probably going crazy hanging out with these people.
...in a good way.
The people I've met here are going to impact the rest of my life. The ones I know now, and the ones that I have yet to meet.
This is real. My new friends are just as real as my old ones. (which i miss dearly.)
God brought me to this school, and He brought me the friends that I would love.
College is everything I expected it to be. I love it here.
This is a short post, I know, but I just wanted to say something about my newfound friendships.
I love all you guys. You're amazing.

The Art of Mirth
I have not had this much fun in a really long time.
This weekend was probably one of the best I will have for a while.
It started off with a train trip back to Bloomington to pick up the car, and have a dinner out with Mom, Dad, and Kendra.
I needed to see them so bad.
I love it here in Valpo, it's my home away from home. But I miss home and everyone there terribly. Seeing them was something that I really needed, and totally brought happiness back to me.
We went out to dinner, and it was really nice. Me and Kendra exchanged school teacher-stories, and stories about life in general since the 3-weeks that I had been gone. It was awesome. She's my closest friend as well as my sister, and is needed in my life.
She brought about mirth in my life.
I really wanted to see my parents, too. I wasn't sure how much I was going to be talking to them while I was here, but sometimes I just call my mom just because I want to talk to her. Just cuz I miss her and Dad.
So that was also awesome. [and mirth-...ful...?]
Then tonight was absolutely incredible!
I love road trips with people I love. Me, Daniel Segner, and Chris Hartman drove to Indy and saw My Chemical Romance and Blink 182 live.
And it. was. UHmazing.
They were so good! We screamed, and danced, and yelled, and sang along, and took a bunch of pictures, and saw their tour bus........it was just awesome!
They were great live. Their music is amazing, they had a laser show, their drummer was drumming on a ledge that tipped him sideways.. everything was just fantastic.
I can't come up with enough positive adjectives to describe the concert.
We danced up in section G, surrounded by adults who loved the band, but were "too old" to dance, and didn't care. And laughed the whole time.
The whole trip and weekend was just a fabulous time.
Laughing was something that happened a lot this weekend.
That's what mirth is all about, right? It's being happy, especially when you're laughing.
And I definitely laughed this weekend. It was a great time, and something I will never ever ever ever forget.
Best time of my life.
[this totally beat out the 'we the kings' concert]
Next concert, we'll be in the front row, and he'll give his guitar to us instead of those other people.
Life is meant to be enjoyed. This involves going to concerts, and listening to the music you love.
Because life is an art. Art is meant to be enjoyed and remembered.
This is something that won't be forgotten.
We paint everyday differently, and everyday is meant to be lived a little differently.
Laughing should be a part of everyday life, though! Mirth is something that should be around...a lot.
Enjoy life! Paint a great picture that you can look at, and always know that it turned out great!
So who knows what tomorrow will be like?
Let's live it out, and see what it looks like when the time comes.
