don't wanna grow up

i wanna get out
hey, take me away

I love the way plans change. I love the way that living on your own and on campus gives you a million ways to spend your day. For instance, today I was planning on studying, alone, all day. Of course TNT was part of the plan. But I had no idea of anything that would actually happen tonight.

First of all, my solitary studying plans were interrupted by two consecutive texts. One from Blake and one from Emily. Emily asked me if I wanted to study Poli Sci before TNT. Blake asked me if I wanted to study after TNT. Answer to both: YES! I love studying with other people. Especially Poli Sci. Classes like that are so in depth and analytical that it's great to find out how other people understand different ideas.

So me and Emily meet to study in the lobby. Meredith (my lovely neighbor) sits by us and asks me if I want to go to Splatter Beat. I had been wanting to go to this event for a long time. I wasn't sure what it was but i knew it involved paint and white t-shirts. Sold. The three of us decided to go and do Splatter Beat and then go to TNT.

Splatter Beat was incredible. Picture at least 100 college students in white t-shirts. 20 garbage cans with the lids turned upside down filled with paint. Sticks with tennis balls at the end of them. Loud music. Pure joy. It was like we never even left third grade. There was no restraint. People were throwing paint, banging the cans, slipping and sliding, and having a ball. After about 20 minutes of this, we decided to chill. A group of about 10 of my friends were there. We went to TNT covered head to toe in paint. Pictures to come.

After TNT I studied with Blake. I feel really prepared for this test. Let's hope so, considering it's midnight and I am down for the count.

I love my life. I love my school. It's nights like tonight that make me wonder why I even applied to another school.
