For V

-

She who fought tooth and nail for me
When I needed her by my side
She who didn't listen to rumors
But said she did so she could get the other side of the story

She who asked for my opinion
Like it really mattered to her
She who taught me the art of poetry
To write with her

She who I've known for about 2 years
And genuinely liked from the start
She who once broke my heart
But put it back together tenfold

She who gave me a genuine apology
Not what I wanted to hear, but the truth 
She who let me grow close in my own time
Giving me my space but checking on me

She who gets excited about my opportunities
And actually means it
She who works with me on events
Saying yes as soon as I ask her

She who is my 'hype girl' 
The best photographer ever 
She who gives without hesitation
Her affection and assistance in equal measure

She who told me the truth 
About people who were not who I thought
She who protected me
Even when I didn't know it

She who listened to my tears
And soothed me
She who told me that she would be with me
When I felt alone 

She who let her friends be mine
Selfless and welcoming 
She who loved me through my drama
And stayed close, making sure I was alright

My V, I'll always love you
And I'll always be here for you
I'm only one call away 
Xoxo

Today, I'm beginning a new journey. I'm travelling across the Atlantic on my own, heading to LeTourneau University in Texas for a semester abroad. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit nervous right now. I'm about to get on a plane and end up in a place I've never been before and be with people I've never met before.  On the other hand, I'm super excited. I've never lived away from home before, and I'm really looking forward to this amazing opportunity. I'm sure there are things I will find hard, but isn't learning how to do those things part of the experience?  Initially, I wanted to go here on a whim, but now, it has become more. I want to go to experience life, to make mistakes and learn from them, to become a better person. I want to learn how to be bolder, more confident, and braver. I want to learn how to deal with people who annoy me and learn how to not let them bother me. I want to experience college in a form I'm not used to...

A Tribute to My Seniors

  Before I start, I’d like to say that this is a very personal post, dedicated to a few very special individuals.  Anderlin, Sharan, Shane, and Mugunthan.  Technically they are my seniors, but they have become something more. These guys are the reason I made it through the year and have become irreplaceable brother figures to me. I may not call them ‘Anna,’ but the respect they earned from me is immeasurable. I still remember the first time I saw them. I was at an ethnic walk practice. It was only my second day there and I wasn’t very confident yet.  The four of them weren’t around on the first day of practice.  That’s when they arrived. They appeared, walking in a straight line. They looked so majestic and powerful that they scared me. They came to stand in front of me and I remember chills running down my spine. None of them were laughing at the moment (you’re not allowed to laugh or smile during an ethnic walk.) I was so intimidated by them. There aren’t wo...

Types of People at LeTourneau

-
This morning, I had an activity in class. It was to list all the types of people at LeTourneau in two minutes. We were going to see who could list the most in this time. (I won by the way.) It was interesting to see how many different types of people there were, all in one small place.  I listed out things like 'where is your bag,' 'huge water bottle,' 'sleepy,' 'always on a call, 'texting,' 'chatterbox,' and others. It was really nice to see how all these people had friends who were opposite to them. For example, a sleepy and silent person was friends with someone very talkative.  Similarly, there are people from so many different backgrounds here. There are Americans, Texas natives, international students, and natives from a different nationality originally. All these people living together, interacting with each other, to create this community.  It was really intersting to list them out and then take some time to think about it. When I wro...
