I get by with a little help from my friends ..

This semester has been a mix of emotions, and once again I was in a depressed rut, because friends were being not so friendly, and "sisters" were being not so sisterly.  Nothing made anything better not sleep, not healthy food, not exercise,not Mom's care packages, and home only made me want to not go back to Clarkson.

There is just something about Clarkson this year that isn't the same

 .....

Until I got a surprise visitor yesterday, Michael!  One of my best friends from last year came up to visit the old brooks 3 gang, and got them all back together.  We all had a great night catching up with tons of laughs, leading to our old traditional Sunday RoBro Breakfasts.  Seeing my family from last year made me realize I have all these people that support me, and are my friends.  I don't have to see them everyday, or hang out with them every week for them to care about me, and they all know I care about them.  Sometimes you just need that reminder that even though things in life change, your family will always be there for you.

After an unreal weekend, I decided to call my mom to tell her about the visit.  She started crying on the phone (which in turn made me cry) telling me:

 "See Mary I don't know how you can be upset with all of these wonderful people in your life that care about you and are your friends"..."I understand that people hurt you but there is so much more to life, it truly is wonderful" 

and my favorite line "If this doesn't get you out of your rut, I am not sure what will"..  Which of course made me laugh, mom had to throw in her sarcastic remark, I think it's an Adams' thing.  But you're right mom, your right.  This got me out of my rut and I have less than 2 weeks before I head back to the glorious metropolis of Canajoharie.  

So here's to friends, the people that you meet that love you for who you are, not just love you because your related.

I think life is pretty wonderful too, mom.

Anybody with Me?
