A Gator’s Girl Power

I read about the coolest thing in the newspaper today… Actually, I had heard about it last nigt, strangely, but that’s not really important… the story is!
So, here goes…
Some 26-year-old guy was let into the Thomas Hall dorm (at University of Florida) Friday night, and he grabbed an unnamed girl by the throat from behind. HOWEVER… she hit the guy in the stomach several times, ran him back into the wall behind her, and then ran up some stairs and called the cops. The guy had a knife. UPD was there in one minute.
This is totally awesome on the parts of both the girl and the UPD!!
I love hearing about girls who hold their own against guys and call the cops instead of becoming another victim. Go nameless chicka! You rule!

Maturity Is..

I’d like to know a college girl who realizes that maturity is something that she still must try to attain instead of convincing herself that it is something she already is.
I guess this is the way that nearly all people are. Always wanting to be at this place — maturity — without really spending much time arriving there. The arrival is always spoken of in the past tense. It is used in stories about mistakes, or perceived mistakes, embarrassments, accomplishments, triumphs, etc.
I am still in transit. I am in the process of arriving, but I am constantly realizing that I am probably not there just yet… wherever that may be.
