Family is Forever

After a grueling cell bio midterm along with getting sick this morning (my immune system REALLY sucks)...and sticking it out to get home..I'm finally HOME!

Ate so much already....OY...but just super happy to be back!! Home is definitely where my heart is! I am such a "homey" girl/family type of person. Hehe, so I'm just so happy to be home...I love living on my own so far away because I feel a lot more independent, but...at the same time, it makes me miss home especially since I am super close with my family. I realized that you don't really cherish your home and your family until you really live on your own.

Definitely feel loved being back! Mom immediately began making hotpot for me. My grandma was beaming and just commented how good it was that I was home. My dog, as usual everytime I come home, was just running around and shaking with excitement, and my bro...well, we just hangout a lot. =) I love it. I feel super blessed to have such a warm family to come home to. I'm thankful to God for that.

Tonight, I also got to hang out with one of my closest friends Angela. It was the last time I could see her before she left for China to study abroad so I am very happy that we met up. I'm really lucky to have such a great friend despite us being so far apart so much. We are so similar in personality, but moreover, she is one of those people who I admire and inspire me. She has such an independent, strong mind of her own, and she is so comfortable in her own skin, which is something I need to work on! She never lets other people's opinions define her, and I love that about her! Angela, I love you!! You will be great where ever you are! I definitely cherish our many years of friendship and I'm blessed to have a friend like you! :)

Tomorrow, planning on just eating more, tightening my braces...and hanging out with Felicia, another one of my closest friends. It's funny because a couple of days ago, I had a kind of panic attack. I felt like throughout my whole college career (which is ending soon..), I didn't really meet many people! But after talking to Angela, she made me realize that a few close friends is enough. I'm proud to say that the friends that I DID make in college are going to be my lifelong friends just like how Angela and Felicia are going to be my lifelong friends.

Close friends and family is really better than a bazillion acquintances :).
