Dear Best Friend,

A year ago, I lived in a box and you tried to pull me out.

A year ago, I turned bright red at your flirtatious jokes.

A year ago, I always insisted I didn't get along with my peers.

A year ago, I was too scared to change my life.

A year ago, it took me forever to make friends with guys.

A year ago, I was a kid.

A year ago, I got the biggest smile when your name popped up on my phone.

A year ago, I had no goals, no purpose, nothing...

And because of you...

Today, I'm forcing myself out of that box.

Today, I flirt with no shame. ;)

Today, I'm making so many new friends my age.

Today, I'm still scared but more willing to change.

Today, I can count my guy friends on more than one hand.

Today, I'm starting to become an adult.

Today, I get the biggest smile on my face when I remember you.

Today, I have huge goals, a purpose, something to work toward.

Thanks Bestie! <3

A few minutes before I run to class...

I am a college student now.

Homework, classes, homework, homework, mid-terms, early mornings, late nights, homework, sporadic meals, stress, new friends, crabby professors, homework, wonderful professors, fun classes, homework, boring classes...oh, and did I mention the homework? :P

And in spite of all this school craziness, I've decided to be even more crazy and participate in NaNoWriMo this November. However, I will only be doing the 50,000 word goal and it will definitely be low on my list of "must-do's". Homework comes first. I have a feeling, I'll only be writing on the weekends.

And just what is my story? Well, here's the book cover:

I do not have a summary as of yet, other than it's about a young woman named Regan who has guy drama. Slight comedy/slight drama...who knows what it'll end up as! :P

The leaves are slowly starting to change, there's a smell in the air, new clothes are in stores, school starts next week...it's almost fall!! And, with fall comes the NEED to watch one of my all-time favorite movies:

You've Got Mail

Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.

What will NY152 say today, I wonder. I turn on my computer. I wait impatiently as it connects. I go online, and my breath catches in my chest until I hear three little words: You've got mail. I hear nothing. Not even a sound on the streets of New York, just the beating of my own heart. I have mail. From you
