Difficult Conversations

I have been having a lot of difficult conversations lately. Some over text, some in person but all equally difficult. I think it might be making me braver though. Possibly more confident but definitely they make me feel relieved.

Have you spoken whats on your mind lately?
I have.

Dear Rest of the summer,

Hurry your ass up. I want to go back to Chicago.


When I am back in Denver I realize just how cool living in Chicago should be. Why is it so hard for me to get into the city. I can't believe I live by all that culture and I never take a Saturday to saunter around a beautiful city.

So I'm making a list of next school year resolutions:
1. Hit the city at least once a month.
2. Get involved in the gallery scene downtown. I love art damn it.
3. Go on more late night adventures. (including but not limited to Omegas, the White Palace Grill in the city, and the Chi Cafe in Chinatown)
4. Meet people from the U of C. By this I mean creep on their college a bit, hang out in their coffee shops and things like that until I make some damn friends.
5. Read more. I've been reading a lot this summer and I miss it.
6. Don't act cliquish towards freshmen. I HATE Trinity's cliquish ways and I refuse to go into that cycle.
7. Get breakfast with cool people I care about. (i.e. Leah Laky, Alissa Vander Wilt, Courtney Roosevelt, all my Froomies)
8. Do my laundry more often. I think it will be easier in Alumni
9. Save my flex for the end of the semester.
10. Don't forget about my Denver self. When I am in Denver I find myself looking for adventure and being outgoing. That person faded into the distance when I went to Chicago the first time. I don't want to loose me.
11. Finally do better at keeping in touch with people from back home.

I know I am early on this list but trust me more items will be coming. I just really miss school. Who ever thought I would miss that tiny Trinity campus?
