Christmas was nice. My aunt, her boyfriend, and my grandmother came down and spent the day. We all had dinner together, and opened presents. I spent a good majority of the day passed out, waking up every once in a while to my dog jumping on me, or my family laughing about some completely random topic. My parents got me the xbox 360 elite, accompanied by a $50 gift card to Wal-Mart. I have every...

I can’t believe yesterday was two years. I miss you, Uncle Bill, so much. I hope you’re resting well.
I’m sitting under four layers of blankets, and I’m still cold. Why is it that my room is the only one in the house without a constant stream of heat? It’s silly and I do not like it. So I’m here in my room, dozing off and watching In Bruges, a delightfully good film starring Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes. I’ll probably go to bed soon, I’m going Christmas...
This whole situation has made me realize how strong I really am. I love it. I have no time for people who treat me this way. I can, and will do better. The people who really matter in my life are the ones who truly care, and know how to show it. So thank you, guys, for being there for me. I’m feeling so much better and I know that tomorrow is a brand new day with wonderful opportunities and...
I keep seeing all of your faces. Everywhere. I feel like I see you guys on the streets of Schenectady and Scotia, walking into Bomber’s, driving down the road.. and while I know that it’s just my mind playing tricks on me, my heart still skips a beat. Every. Fucking. Time.
I miss you guys already.
To everyone who I have met over the course of my stay at the New Hampshire Institute of Art:
You have changed my life, in the best way possible. When I first came to this school, on September 1st, 2008.. I was terrified. I didn’t know what to expect. I was leaving my family, friends, and then boyfriend behind for what could either be a great experience, or a horrific one. I was lucky. I’ve met...

“Home. Let me come home.
Home is wherever I’m with you.”
I can’t do anything right.
I just want to go home. I want to be with my friends; this amazing group of people who cares so, so much. I just want to be with people who actually seem like they give a shit; friends and family. I want to work. Going back to work will make me feel so much more useful than I do now. When I’m here, I feel like I contribute nothing. Sure, I do homework, but...
