The unfair roads to my life.

Lately I have been spending TOO much time on trying to make sense out of my future. Being stressed is obviously a common notion for one that is in college. But I feel like, at some point, I need to think about my future and ask myself if this is what I REALLY want to do. How will we ever know if one asks us this question? I would not know how to respond. It requires a step-by-step instruction booklet. I can't find one that would fit me!
Going to a different subject, I haven't come around here in a while! I have been TOO busy=/ But thankfully, the semester is over in about two weeks:)
One amazing thing that happened to me last week...
Alpha Phi's semi formal was just around the corner and I knew that Mike wasn't going to be able to come down to San Antonio because he has visited me various times throughout the semester and  his money was slowly vanishing. He felt so guilty that he could not come (of course, such a Mike thing to feel bad when it's not his fault at all) but I soon got over it and decided to go date-less. Who cares!
I, not having much money myself, had to resort to wearing one of my high school homecoming dresses. The good part was that it fit me (hooray!!). Friday, the day before semi, came around, and one of my best friends, Bernadette, and I decided to take over the main lounge in our residence hall and cuddle with some blankets and snacks while we watch a movie. Mike had been texting me on and off about how much he missed me and blah blah....I'm not saying that I wasn't caring at the moment; I was just caught up in the movie. So then he calls. Another Mike thing to do. I love hopeless romantics:)
"Hey, so what are you doing?"
"I'm watching a movie with Bernadette and Patrick, what about you?"
"Oh, just got out of the movies with Brian. That movie...it reminded me so much of you....I miss you so much..."
"I miss you too, Mike" (crunch crunch crunch, loving these chocolate-covered raisins!)
"Well you know your Christmas present we've been talking about?"
"Yeah?"
"I decided to give it to you early."
Click.
"Are you serious?? Bernadette, he just hung up on me on the verge of knowing what my Christmas present was!"
Bernadette - "Brissa..."
"What?"
A gentle voice whispers into my ear..."Merry Christmas."
I turn around...only to find Mike above from where I was sitting.
What?! He surprised me?! NO way!!
My instant reaction was to cry. So I did. A lot. He held me so tight and I could hear his heart beating fast. Yup, he had definitely been nervous. Oh gosh, could this be true?? Yes, he surprised me!
Vivian apparently had gone to go pick him up from the airport while Bernadette brought me out to the lounge to watch a movie. Patrick was in on it too. This was just amazing.

Now knowing that I had a date for semi, I was overwhelmed with emotions. First off, I knew I was truly blessed for him spending so much money on coming to see me AND paying for his semi ticket behind my back. It was something I could not explain!
Semi came about, and it was so much fun! My sisters and my boyfriend all had a good time and everyone was in awe of how sweet Mike had been to have done what he did. What can I say, I have been blessed. ♥
