The Break Up Song

"Gravity" by Sara Berilles

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.

[CHORUS:]
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

[CHORUS]

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on
The ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

Happy Yogurt

I am quickly learning that College Station is a treasure trove of cool Aggie-owned places. From Sweet Eugene's (an eclectic, homey coffee shop) to Northgate Vintage, I have found a few places to fall in love with. My recent discovery, which I credit to Carolyn who found it after a night dancing at a nearby club, is Happy Yogurt.

Like its name implies, it is very happy indeed. An assortment of toppings make the low fat, low calorie frozen yogurt even better and the decor is to swoon for. A white wraparound bar with colorful bar stools creates a trendy vibe that's perfect for chatting or studying before a midterm. Also on the menu are Happy Boba, Happy Buns, Happy Rolls, and Happy Sticks.

Also, it is only a ten minute bike ride from my dorm. Everything about this place makes me happy!

And away we go!

Sorry about the lack of blogging. Let me get a couple of things straight about college before I continue.

1. It's challenging. (I would say hard, but Coach Waldmann always corrected me when I said that about a swim workout and replace it with the word "challenging". Maybe it sounds more mature. It beats me, it means the same thing.)
2. You have to study a lot to make an 82.
3. You spend a lot of time in the library. (Fourth floor in Evans is where it's AT!)
4. Trying to squeeze in a social life can be draining.
5. Dressing up means wearing something besides a t-shirt.

Don't get me wrong, I really love A&M. I feel very alive here. There is always something to do and I am making some really good friends. But, there are times when I look around me and don't see a single person that I recognize. Then I begin to feel this weird tingle in the pit of my stomach and feel incredibly alone. Luckily it usually doesn't last longer than a few minutes or a half hour before I am back to loving college. I wonder if this is how other people at a college the size of A&M feel. I mean over 45,000 students going to ONE school. That is a lot of people.

Anyway, I'll try to update more... after I'm done studying.
