| When we were kids, we used to sit around and dream on what we would be when we grew up. I was torn between being a ballerina/astronaut and Connie Chung. I’m 21 and I’m sitting around thinking the exact same thing. This is the story of my college career. “Christi Chizelvax!!!??!” I exclaim as my dad calls my cell phone to tell me that my roommate assignment had arrived. That was my very first college scare--the first time I felt like I had no control over the huge changes that were happening in my life. You don’t know how much I’d give right now to have that again. Because these days, I have all the control in the world, and it scares me more than I ever thought it would. Hey so I have this dream. I want to be a ballerina/astronaut. Do what I love, and reach for the stars? No way Man. I want to be Connie Chung. Rough Tough Nothing Can Break Me I’m Connie Chung and I work on CNN. I married Maury Povich. And guess what… he’s met Oprah. I stopped watching Oprah after she found her spirit my freshman year of college. I was a silly freshman girl once. I was so dramatic. I think my whole life I will have problems handling my emotions. Want to know why? It’s because I try so damn hard not to. One day I became a brave sophomore. … And then I had to start all over again. When I was a junior, I wanted to remember everything I thought was FUN. I wanted to do anything someone told me was FUN. You can't be unhappy when you're having fun, it's just not possible, right? I was the social coordinator of the year... I’m a senior this year. I don’t mind staying home Friday nights. I don't like to coordinate anymore. Sometimes on those Friday nights, I watch connie chung on cnn, and I really don’t think she’s that great. CNN is better with the volume off. And I ordered my $600 Aggie Ring last week. It's not really to remember my time here, its purpose is more towards getting me a job one day. it might not work... because we know oprah hates texas. I don't know if I could ever be on TV anyways--I couldn’t bear to think someone might want to turn the volume off. ...............................................Did you know this is my last year of college? |
