“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

- Marianne Williamson

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah

And you're gonna think of me
Oh someday baby, someday

i want to change the world...

Proverbs 3:4-6

³ Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.

⁴ Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.

⁵ Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

⁶ in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

crazy doesn't even begin to describe dartmouth and my DOC trip

when we first arrived at dartmouth we were welcomed by H-Croo (which pretty much are the people who organize everything). they were absolutely insane. they were dressed in all these weird kind of clothing and basically just running around with so much energy. i'll admit, at first i was thinking wtf is going on. they introduced themselves and all that and after some things we slept in a dorm. then they woke us up at 5:45... yes 5:45 AM. the ridiculous part is that they need to wake up at 5:30 everyday for two straight weeks to wake up all the incoming freshman on the DOC trips.

and then the trip started... B-225 (rock climbing) was my group and we started off the trip by hiking for about two hours to get to the top of one of the mountains we were going to camp out. it was cool just chilling with other freshman and my trip leaders (who were the best ever). it was pretty normal day, we just sat around playing games and just bonding. that night we fell asleep looking at stars. the night is beautiful in new hampshire. we fell asleep around 10 and at 12 we were rudely awaken by other people. it was A-225, the rock climbing group before us. they had hiked an hour in the middle of the night just to greet us. that's how much love there is between students. they also left us some food and chocolate. and then after the 5 min welcome, they had to hike back down the mountain. once again i thought, who'd be stupid enough to do that?

the next day we woke up and hiked down the mountain to our next campsite. it didn't take that long and we went rock climbing. it was more that just fun, it was a complete new experience. we climbed for a good 4 hours and then went back to the campsite. we ate and chilled with the rock climbing crew around their campfire. they are some of the funniest people i have ever met. and the common theme once again between them, H-croo, and my trip leaders was how much they love dartmouth. i still thought they were nuts. somehow over the course of our discussion our group decided to go raid C-225. yup, a 45 min hike uphill in the middle of the night just to give a group a bar of chocolate... so we went and scared them and gave them the chocolate. C-225 were confused and didn't understand why anyone would hike in the middle of the night to give another group chocolate. they didn't understand dartmouth love yet. we hiked back down the mountain and got ready to sleep. but we were awaken by.. a guy dressed as a giant pink shrimp saying follow me. so we followed him and this is what i saw...

a whole bunch of people dressed in the most absurd clothing ever. it was H-Croo and Vox Croo (they're basically patrol the mountains making sure everyone is ok) ready to raid us. we walked down and they formed two lines and were holding torches.. yes torches. i thought i was in a scene from the skulls. but really they just made us run between the two lines as a form of initiation. and then the dancing started. we danced until the wee hours of the morning and they welcomed us once again. everyone of them wanted to meet each and everyone one of us. now the crazy part is that they had to hike/drive for a long time just to meet up at our campsite. and then they had to organize all of it, and then after H-Croo still needs to go back and wake up at 5:30 for group D. now that's love. and of course, they left us some m&m's.

so the next day was just relaxing and we ended up at the lodge. the lodge is basically the culmination of the trip where all B group meets. and it was fun having real toilets and just being around new people. now dinner is where the real craziness began. we sat down to dinner.. and the lights turned off. the whole dinner was a show performed by lodj croo (you should be able to figure out this one). ever time they served us food they sang us a song based on the food. i can't even really describe it but it was amazing. then dinner was over and we eventually heard from dartmouth students why they loved dartmouth so much and it was just a common theme, they love dartmouth because dartmouth students love each other. after more fun, games, dancing, and a movie, it was off to sleep.

the next day we didn't really do much except have small group discussions about dartmouth. it clarified for me what kind of school dartmouth is. it's a school that completely focuses on its students. anything you want to do, you can do as long as you work for it. students talked about their trips to south africa like it was just another class. it was at the dicussion that basically everything clicked. i eventually got back to new york, and went to sleep.

i think i'm finally ready have that dartmouth kind of love. finally ready to let go of all the things that trouble me here and move on. finally excited to be around those crazy insane people. i'm finally ready...
