secondarily, i value health, academics, religion and honesty. possibly to a fault. now to elaborate:
i went to an all-girls private catholic high school in cincinnati. the friends i made there, i would trust with my life. as a relatively new member of alpha chi, i am not yet there with these girls. living in for just these past few weeks, i can already notice a difference. my roommate, amanda, is the best friend i have here at ohio state. we rarely spend more than a few hours apart and have kept this pattern for the past 4 months. we try to use each other to uphold our values and be the best people we can be. just tonight, we went to a yoga class together and typically head to the gym about 4 times a week. currently, we're sitting on our big green couch in axo, finishing homework, quizzes & sunday night football. (she's an eagles fan, im a bengals fan.. one of us had a better day. especially when you consider the reds.. we dont need to talk about that) we both have similar goals for this quarter and are working towards them together. 4.0 and six packs, here we come!!
now family. i call my mom and dad almost everyday just to chat and see whats up. a lot of the time, i think i call them too much. my dad never answers on the first try.. i know he loves me though! i promise! my mom and dad travel a lot and are really busy, but my dad takes me out to dinner once every other week during his trips around ohio and my mom calls me from every airport so i know shes okay! my baby brothers are seniors at archbishop moeller in cincinnati and i miss them more than is typically reasonable. i keep pictures of them on my binders and force them to text me after pretty much every big event they have. the best friend, amanda, says its creepy that i keep pictures of them everywhere, but we all look exactly the same, so i think everyone knows. exhibit a:
so not creepy, right? yeah. not. so my fam means the world to me. my grandma lives nearby in columbus so i get to see her alllll the time. she is cute. and very small, so i call her the pygmy.
also, raised as a catholic, i try to follow the morals that i was raised with during my catholic education, the ones that aren't outdated of course. a lot has changed since the time of jesus and i think that needs to be taken into account when interpreting the bible.
i feel like im being wordy. i also value health. if you dont have your health you dont have anything. i have this poster hanging in my room, to remind me of how i want to be:
kbye!
JEN! I could post something sarcastic and witty like the bulk of our conversations, but reading this blog has definitely given me a lot more insight into who you are as a person. Also, your family does look strangely alike...Having met you brothers I kind of knew it, but now this puts the icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteSee...this is what a real comment looks like, now "ahh huegle" or w/e you said. Be better Jen
Love,

Woah I definately related to what you wrote about friends, like almost to a tee! No joke! I have a few girls at home, that I trust my life with them. People always say that once you leave high school and go to college, everything changes. But really I hardly found that to be true! It's so nice when you have those friends that you are able to not talk to for a few days/ weeks at a time, and when you do nothing has changed. I too joined a sorority for multiple reasons, one to meet some great girls like the ones back at home! With my sorority friends/ non sorority friends it's still so excited to see how relationships change and grow! That was corny but it's true!
ReplyDeletejen. snaps for just being you. and you weren't rambling. i appreciate the ode to the green couch :) and i love jsut watching you and amanda interact, its funny and genuine all at once. also, id like to get in on this 4.0 and six packs please...however I am not sure I can can see yall every four hours.. :(
ReplyDeletebut i love you all the same! thanks for being honest in your blog, and I would also like to support the fact that you have pictures of your brothers everywhere!! its cute.
love you. litb!
You can learn a lot by these blogs about whats important in life. Family and friends means the world to me as well so I was able to relate.. oh and that poster is awesome! its all so true
ReplyDeleteah i completely agree with your values and you had some great examples backing them up! i looove that poster that you said you had in your room- very cool. But i agree, having friends who you know you can trust with ANYTHING makes life so much easier and worth while. hold onto those bff's of yours : )
