Being sad with the right people is better than being happy with the wrong ones

I woke up an hour late today, with only ten minutes until my first class of the day started. As I forced myself out of bed and sprinted to class (I made it only ten minutes late!) I was convinced that today would be a bad day; my hair was a mess, I felt sick from eating breakfast and running at the same time, I was sweating and runny nosed by the time I sat in my assigned seat. 


Luckily I was wrong.


At the end of that first class we got essays back that we wrote before spring break and I made an A! I really needed the good grade after doing not so great on our last test. It is an honors history class and I have been really struggling to keep up with the work load, but it looks like I might actually do well. 


After my second class I went to the main dining hall for lunch. With his wonderful timing, my boyfriend texted me right after I filled my plate telling me to meet him and some of our friends in one of the other dining areas. I considered eating on my own but decided to get a to-go box and headed over to the other area. I'm happy I did, because this is where the title of today's post comes in. Fortunately, none of us were sad, it was just good company and lots of laughs; something I, as the shy girl, have had some difficulty finding here at college. Spending time with three boys and being the only girl is always interesting. We discussed everything from why boys are so attracted to butts to traveling to China. Later in the day I had a short but nice talk with a good friend about relationships and love. I'm the kind of person who is really quiet but craves conversation and secret sharing. I hate holding things in or not getting to know other people as well as I would like and lately I have felt like I haven't been connecting to people as well or as much as I should. Today showed me though, that having a small but wonderful group of friends is much better than surrounding yourself by people who you can't really talk to or who don't appreciate and love you. Having good or just silly talks with people always puts me in a great mood, my supposedly bad day turned into a really nice day spent with some awesome people.
