A quick guide to understanding my posts:
I am in my last few weeks of school at Oregon State University. It feels like home--in some way, it's felt like home since the second I set foot inside Dixon Lodge the first time I moved to Corvallis. I am so sad at the thought of not being a Beav anymore. It might be weird to have an emotional connection to one's place of higher education, but it's going to be so hard for me to leave this one behind. No more free student tickets, no more sleeping on the MU couches, no more running around the 500-acre campus. It's been a really good 2 and a half years. This sounds so cheesy but I've really "found myself" here, even though I still consider my parents' house "home."

I have two main groups of friends here at Oregon State who I love equally. First, there are those people associated with the OSU Newman Center (Catholic campus ministry). This is my second year of living with a group of girls that I met through there. Em and Melissa lived with me last year, and this year we added Kansas (Jenn) who has been the perfect addition.

The other group of friends are the people I lived with in Dixon Lodge my first year here. Despite how they joke about themselves, I think they are truly wonderful people. I wouldn't be friends with people that I couldn't look up to and admire at least in some capacity. I see so much striving for growth among those guys. Not to mention, they are so, so fun.

You may have guessed by now that I am Catholic. I am always working to make God #1 in my life, and I wish I could say I was there. By His grace, maybe I will be some day, but my faith does take enormous precedence over almost anything else in my life.

My family means a great deal to me. I have one of the most stable families I've ever heard of. I'm super close to my mom and brothers, my cousin Katie is my best friend. I live for the 2 big family reunions every year, and I miss my Grandpa (who died last May) SO SO much every day and every time I think about him. He was an amazing, hardworking, God-loving man. When I get the money for it, I want to get a tattoo of a hop vine on my foot to represent my roots...my grandpa worked hard in the hop fields for many, many years to support his family. I hope someday I have half that stamina, on some level.

I've always struggled with body image. I don't have the bone structure to completely conform to the current ideal, and I don't know why I've always let it get to me so much. I had a brief wrestling match with an eating disorder, but I try not to let any of that seep into my identity.

I want to be a counselor. I'm like...T-minus 3 weeks to having a bachelor's degree in Sociology, and I want to go to the Portland State Graduate School of Social Work next fall, that is, if they'll have me. I used to let people with problems walk all over me--now I'm just a patient listener who draws good boundaries. Hopefully, I'll learn some skills to help others proactively change their lives for the better.

Ummm...I think that's all you really need to know. My journal says a LOT about me, even though I tend to only write in it when I'm doing really crappy. I am generally an optimist, even if it doesn't come through in here. If something doesn't make sense, please feel free to leave me a comment and ask.

I am open to having random friends on here, but you must tell me *why* you are interested in reading my journal before I will add you. Probably 90% of entries in here are friends-locked.
