the months of february and march my sophomore year....thank god i had friends who pulled me out of that black hole of not eating (ever), sleeping, or even doing my school work.

sitting on the quad, just HANGING OUT in general....going to EATS to study and it seeming perfectly normal for a gaggle of gals to sit around munching on soul food and reading upper-level biology....my 3rd floor winship gal pals, that sense of wonderment....giving you the feeling that the world is right there...waiting for you to make your way through it...
