Bored?Quitcomplaining,geta hobby

I could ramble on and on about all of the problems with Cabrini but I won't because for some reason I actually like it here. For all of the first-year students who are already thinking about transferring, think again about the past few weeks.

It may seem like all there is here is a ton of work, bad food and nothing to do. But, actually, there IS a ton of work, bad food and nothing to do.

So what you should do now is try to make these things change.

You can't change the food and the work will be there anywhere you go, but the boredom is a curable thing.

As a part of Cabrini's ultimate I plan to make the school a "regional " school I have found ways to make my many days and nights here actually fun.

You see, I am not the usual Cabrini student, because my home-away-from-home is far from home.

Adams, Mass. is where I am from and where I go when I absolutely have to leave the wonderful world of Cabrini life, so going home every weekend is not some- thing that is all that easy for me.

I mean, I could, but I'd like my car to last more than a year.

I finally have a reliable car, my fourth car in four years, so I will be staying here most of the time.

Since I chose to be here, I decided right from the start-after I with Beanie Babies.

It all began when someone I know had ''Nuts" the squirrel. I instantly fell in love with it and actually stole it from the person. Now, eight months and 67 beanies later, I am even more hooked.

I can't even get out of the mall without stopping at every Hallmark store or place that sells Beanies. Most of the time I buy one, too. I have even purchased Beanies through Internet auctions.

My Beanie habit even cuts into my school work. My Beanies cover my entire desk so I am forced to find other places to study.
