Sunshine

Lupe Fiasco- Sunshine

It's been a whole four months since I left home and entered the 'Big Bad World', and four months since I lived like the sheltered highschool kid I used to be. And so, today, on the eve of my first semester, I figure it's a good time to evaluate Life as a young, independant Med student. And in my typical fashion, I'm going to do it with lyrics, mostly Lupe, because he's mostly what I listened to this Semester.

What I've learnt:

You've gotta be calm, you gotta be cool, you gotta stay together.
Because, when you're trying to memorise what feels like an ENDLESS stream of facts and tiny details AND keep your life on track AND take care of yourself AND not become a total recluse, it pays to breathe.

Junk food tastes so good, because it's bad for you.
It's so true. And it's so tempting. And with nobody to hide bad, yummy things away from me anymore (and no little brother to eat everything in sight), that one took willpower.

Everybody Hurts Sometimes.
Remembering that is important in not losing perspective. Things could always be better, but they could definitely be worse. And it reminds me of something Amanda always says 'We're all battling our own demons. Who's to say yours are bigger than mine?'
But then. I also think, the number of Angels far outweighs the number of Demons. Including the Angels in training.

You're my sure fire, superstar, sure shy, firecracker, extravaganza, fantastic, super-size with extra cheeeeese. yes indeed.

I'd do it all again
Looking back on everything that went right and wrong... I don't think there's anything I would change. Because the small stupidities amount to something, eventually. Sometimes it takes longer than expected.


Hood's where the Heart is. Nerd's where the word's from. Don't represent Either, because I merged them.
Running around label-less is fun. And I feel like my life is pretty nicely mixed too. I also love the anonymity of the big city (with the knowledge that I can go home, walk down the street and see at least 3 people I know and love).

And that's it for now, I have hours of missed sleep to catch up on, and my eyes refuse to give into me tonight. There shall me more :) Next post from Berryland, where the air is crisp, the water tastes nice, but the drummers are not the same.

Holiday your hearts out. 'I'm ready for the weekend'
