" The weekend before finals week began--a psychology paper, a history paper, and an English paper. What is the only thing that could tear me from my laptop? LUPE FIASCO CONCERT! Because of my roommate Mari&amp;#039;s obsessive love for Lupe, we headed to the concert an hour and a half early to get a good spot on the floor. And by good spot, I mean as close to the microphone as you could be without being on stage with him. I was pretty certain being the little person that I am that I was going to get squished to death, but I took my risk to see a musical genius up close and personal. He was absolutely amazing; I have no idea how he maintained that level of energy for over an hour. He was here at the University of San Diego to raise money and support Invisible Children, a charity for children in Uganda that started right here in San Diego. While I loved every minute of it, nothing can compare to Mari&amp;#039;s experience. Not only did he touch her hand and give her his towel at the end of the concert (gross and awesome at the same time!), but he pretty much serenaded her, made eye contact with her, and paused for her to sing the lyrics during &amp;quot;Kick, Push&amp;quot;! It was INSANE!  Even though I had to stay up until 3am finishing the papers I neglected, it was awesome. Though a lot of people are already done with their freshman year, I have a solid week and a half before I pack up my stuff and head home for three months. It hasn&amp;#039;t really sunk in yet\u2026 but I&amp;#039;m already very aware of how much I&amp;#039;m going to miss living in the dorms for three months and the beautiful and mild San Diego weather. I can hardly believed I&amp;#039;ve survived it without failing any classes, getting into too much drama, or being a complete and utter wreck like I thought I would be. I also only managed to embarrass myself in front of cute boys a few dozen times. I absolutely love that I have a documented record of all the crazy and fun things I&amp;#039;ve done here on Seventeen and that I&amp;#039;ve got to share my freshman year with all of you. Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime that will change everything you thought you knew about yourself, the world, and life. This easily has been one of the best years of my life and words cannot describe how excited I am for the next three! Love, Jessica "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
