Let It Go

You know,
I know it's premature to say this but I think that maybe for the time being, Laredo was probably a good disappointment. Now before I get Laredo bashers, let me explain this. While I do eventually want to come to Missouri, TAMIU has not been horrible. I've made great friends, had good times and started to see how life could work out.
The first week was slow with my Tuesdays and Thursdays being long. I like my classes and even so, I'm studying and still having time to go out with friends. But of course I'm finding that sometimes even life's surprises have surprises of their own.
I'm also planning to join a sorority called Sigma Delta Lambda. It's a small and relatively new sorority but it has all the things I believe in. I was invited to their mixer at a club here in town and as a prospective pledge I was psyched. Ale wanted me to go to a party they were throwing at the dorms but she knew how I really wanted to go so I ended up at the club and was surprisingly the first one there. I was approached by a guy at the bar who thought I was an actual member who was going to DJ the party. To my shock and utter awe it was none other than Sammy The House, my favorite DJ for years was there in the flesh! I later explained that I wasn't a Sigma but a Freshman interested in pledging. Well he bought me a drink (non-alcoholic of course. Plus the Sigmas are against alcohol) and we discussed a few things to pass the time and it was after a little small talk that he suddenly said "Wait aren't you the girl who was on Tyra Banks?"
WTF?
Well it turns out my Twitter habits are very Glee specific and he picked up on my posts, looked me up and found out who I was and my story. Talk about a serious wtf moment. At any cost, it got the conversation going. We talked about my experiences, music, radio and my stories of the many adventures I've had. He shared his knowledge and wisdom on life and gave me some advice I'm really trying to take to heart. He said that being sure of yourself is one of the greatest things you can do but by leaving the mystery of who you are, you get to let people in. And by letting go all of your hangups can you really find something better no matter where you are.I later found out that he tweeted and mentioned me on Facebook and he thought I was cool. One of my idols and living legends thinks I'M cool! :D Eventually, I ended up mingling with my possible prospective sisters and when a few of my friends got there, we danced the night away at the club. I ended up coming home around 2 AM (something mother would not have approved of on a school night) I thought I lucked out by not having to explain to anyone being home that late but my next door neighbor (a guy I went to high school with) got nosy and asked me about it. Ugh! Oh well. I at least managed to stay awake during my morning classes but by the time I got back to my dorm, I crashed!
I'm going to take his advice to heart. It can't hurt to let go, right?
