College

I've been in Utah for about three weeks, now, and I just got through my first week of (real) college. My dorm is a lot nicer than I expected, but the loft bed is so high up, I can be laying down, and put my hands flat, on the ceiling.
My roommates are all Mormon, but they are all super nice and really cool.
Also, this first week, I had my very first date, ever. It was cool.
I've seen about three other pagan students on campus, but I've only talked to one. I kind of want to start a Pagan association or something; because there's Catholic and Mormon associations on campus, but very little for other religions.

I'm taking five classes, and I hope everything works out enough for me to get a GI bill in time for next semester.

Also, pro-tip for life: star crunch + Nutella = The Nectar of the GODS!!!

I've kind of told my roommates that I'm a pagan, and they are super cool with it, but I know that I'm going to have a hard time of practicing any ritual magick. So I think it will have to be mostly thought and 'will' magick.

 Here's a shot of my desk; super messy, I know. And it took me forever to get my Brave poster up behind the desk!

 See how close to the ceiling I am? My bright yellow sheets and my MLP:FIM poster that my brother and I colored together.

 My closet, filled with shoes and laundry.

Mini fridge for college snacks, it has a dry erase surface for notes.
Yummy College Treat: Take a spoon, get a little bit of peanut butter, and a little whipped cream, and top it all off with some chocolate syrup. Eat quickly, because the syrup will drip right off the spoon!

A Spell for Harmonious Living (Roomate Spell)

So, I'm moving to Utah next month for college, and I keep worrying about how my room mates will be. So I've decided on a preemptive strike. I wrote this spell yesterday, and I plan on doing it next full moon.

Goal: To create harmonious living conditions with room/house mates.
Tools: 1 white candle, 1 quartz crystal to amplify energy (it's not necessary, but I like quartz), peppermint, clove and allspice (a pinch each burned in the cauldron or sprinkled round the circle), Draw on three small pieces of paper in brown or pink crayon or pencil; a hedgehog, an elk, and a snail.

Light the candle and have the drawings near by and say:

I call upon Concordia, to bring harmony between myself and the ones I live with.
I offer an elk (burn the drawing of the elk in the cauldron)
    So that we can observe each others energy and respond in kindness.
I offer a snail (burn drawing of snail)
    So that we can be patient with each other.
I offer a hedgehog (burn drawing of hedgehog)
    So that we can avoid any chaos that night come from anger, fear or misunderstandings.
Grant me this wish of harmony, so that we might live in peace together.
As I ask it, so mote it be.

(Finish your works, open the circle, then bury the ashes of the pictures outside.)

Fate and Future

I've recently registered for college classes, and it's got me thinking; is this how I am starting my future?
The best I can hope for in this life is a cut rate job, a husband who might not love me and (I shudder to think) a child or two. But is that what I want? I'm going to try and get my associates degree in something, but then...
It sounds stupid and cliche, but I want adventure and romance, but not love and commitment. am I really just afraid of the future?
Sometimes, all I want is to get married and get on with, what I hope, will be the best I can hope for.
But then other times, I want to run off to Italy and eat salami and have a crazy fling with a guy named Sergio, who works in a cafe and smokes on his breaks, (even though smoke makes me gag.)
I want a future, but not a future that has been laid out before me.
