Haha, actually, most of the “Freshman Fifteen” comes from the amount of drinking people do once they get to college and have such easy access. But I am really not a fan of such parties, or drinking in general, so I’m definitely avoiding that issue. XD
Thankfully, OSU has a lot of range in the available food on campus, so I should easily be able to make healthy decisions. 😀

Your volunteering sounds like so much fun. 😀 One of my favorite things to do when I was a member of Key Club in high school (a community service group) was going to the local nursing home and assisting with Bingo. It was hilarious to see the reactions of those who won, and so much fun talking to whomever I happened to be sitting by that week. 🙂

Ugh, so sorry to hear about your fight, but great to see that you worked it out and are stronger because of it. 🙂 Even if we don’t hear about your “happy moments” together so much, I think that we can still see how healthy of a relationship you have because you DO fight, and work it out and are stronger because of it. 😀

I don’t like driving at night either. I don’t like driving at all much. XD I’m looking forward to giving it up when I move to the city — hello public transportation and biking/walking! 😀

1. I read a lot. It lets me escape from the present and return calmer and much more relaxed so I can deal with the problem rationally and with a clear head. 🙂 I also play music a lot. ^.^
2. My friends are all relatively close; within a fifteen minute drive. One friend’s house seems to be pretty much a central point between everyone, so we seem to meet up there a lot. XD
3. I don’t really have any candy quirks, except when I eat my M&Ms; they must be separated by color, and then eaten in ascending order based on the number within that color group. XD

Aww, that is so cute about the volunteering trivia game. It’s nice they remember your name now. I bet you get such satisfaction from that. I totally would. 😀

Jinny beat me to it, but I was totally going to say the same thing about the visitor tag incident reminding me of a sitcom. I must admit I giggled at your expense! Sorry!

I’m sorry you had a fight with Clay. Fights are never fun but they’re totally normal. The thing I love hearing you write about is that you always talk it through. That’s so incredibly important. Josh and I always do the same thing and I completely agree that it brings you closer as a couple. Josh and I had an argument last night too but we talked it through before the night was over and things are fine now. Plus, guys tend to forget about things WAY faster than we do so he’s probably forgotten about it already. *hugs*

1. When you get upset with someone (anyone), what do you do for comfort?
I get very quiet and hurt. I listen to music, blog, read, or distract myself some other way.

2. How close to your friends do you live?
My two closest friends live 20 minutes and 45 minutes away.

3. What candy-eating quirks do you have, if any?
I don’t really eat a lot of candy at all. Can’t remember the last time I have.

The visitor tag thing is kind of funny, like something that would happen in a sitcom. Sorry it happened to you!

Ah, don’t worry too much about always documenting the bad things about a relationship. I think it’s just human tendency to like to read/talk about “bad things” more. Kind of like on the side of cereal boxes, they have a phone number where you can phone in for questions, comments or complaints. But nobody ever phones in to make a comment, just make complaints. For the person receiving the call, they might think they’re just getting complaints all the time, when really, the people who think the cereal is good just don’t really feel like it’s worth making a phone call.

Did that even make sense? I think I totally rambled off topic there …
