A Little Bit of Everything

I am not going to lie.. but I have writer's block. It doesn't help to see that I haven't posted in a while. So this is my attempt to get rid of writer's block.
While writing this I am sitting by the warm fire, watching Max, my puppy, enjoy the warmth coming from the fire place. I was told that he is too close, and needs to be moved away from the fire. After moving him a few feet, I sat back down to continue writing. Max, being the little trouble maker that he is, decided to sit even closer to the fire. And I am still stuck with writer's block. I was thinking about doing an after Halloween post, but to be honest my costume was not good enough to be blogged about.
Right now it is about 4:30 pm and it is so dark out that I thought it was the middle of the night. This can only mean one thing, winter is coming! I can't wait for the nights when you can't sleep because there is a storm brewing outside, and a snow plow is trying to uncover the ground. Those are the best nights, especially when you are a little kid, knowing school will be canceled the next day, which obviously means a huge snowball fight with your entire neighborhood will take place in the morning.
I have one question that I need to ask. How come we are supposed to choose what we want to do with our lives, when we are only 17 or 18 years old. If you think about it, it is really weird that we choose the path of our lives when all we have done so far is go to school.
One thing that has been on my mind lately is..... college, which i assume is true for most seniors right now. This weekend was a no fun no play weekend, it was basically a weekend where I was on college app lock down. All of this applying and thinking about the future has gotten me kind of nervous. I hope I'm not the only one who is very nervous for what next year will bring. If there is anyone reading this right now that is not nervous at all, please enlighten me.

And on a more uplifting note, the holidays are coming up soon!
Good luck to everyone who is going through any of this college stuff.
