Ahhhh Spring Break.
This was one of man's best inventions. I have never been so happy to not have to go to school in my life. It seriously was such a relief to be able to sleep in this morning.
While my life is being pretty boring at the moment, I'm welcoming the boredom with open arms. Sometimes I just enjoy doing nothing. And over the past few weeks, although they haven't been EASY...they have been a lot better. Just overall, with everything. Myself, my (close) friends, dance classes, school...just everything.
With Spring Break here, it has made me think of college more and more. I am getting so excited, it's ridiculous. I found out that my college is one of the most haunted campuses in the entire country, and I think that's pretty cool. I surprised myself, because I didn't get as freaked out as I always thought I would! The idea of ghosts, and haunted cemeteries and residence halls are certainly creepy...but I think my excitement of finally going to college is overshadowing the creep-ish parts!
I joined a Facebook group that is for my college and for my graduating class, and I've gotten to see a lot of the people that I will be going to school with! It's really neat to be able to share things like that with people that don't even live in the same state as you. I'm so glad the internet exists.
Along with my excitement for college, comes some bittersweet moments. My two best friends and I have come even closer over the past few months, and I think that has to do with two things.
1. My other close friends, that I hung around with all through high school are basically drifting apart. There are fights, there is unneeded drama, and there is no point in trying to keep a friendship that is obviously not meant to be. It's sad, but on the up-side, it's brought me and my other two friends even closer.
2. We're all going to different colleges, and I think it's finally sunk in that we won't see each other every day, and every weekend.
It's a devastating realization. These two girls and I have been close for almost 6 years. We've known each other for about 10. It's crazy to imagine making friends in college. It's insane to think that I will probably end up with close friends, just as close as my friends now, but they'll be in college. I can't imagine having friends that I am closer with than the girls I'm close with now. It's all just very mind-blowing, and we find ourselves having many baffling conversations about it. We usually end up with no resolution, nothing to ease our minds, and then we just push it all to the back of our heads, and wait for it to pop up again the next weekend.
I can only hope that college doesn't rip our friendship to pieces. I know I will make new friends...I know they will as well. But my mom always tells me that if a friendship is meant to last, it will. I truly believe we will remain friends, and I can just hope that they feel the same way. I hope that when we're all adults, married, with children (or maybe not in my case!), that we can get together, and our kids can be friends with each other, and that we can still hang out and feel as though no time has passed. It's hopeful thinking, I know this. But I can dream can't I?
It reminds me of the book Best Friends by Martha Moody. (Which I highly recommend to anyone).
And that reminds me of another book of hers, called The Office of Desire, which I'm reading right now, and it's just so amazingly good I can hardly put it down.
I just love books. And unfortunately, for the past few months I was stuck reading Main Street by Sinclair Lewis, which I think is a great book, but not a great book to do a research paper on. A fifteen page research paper. So, grudgingly, I have spent all of my time trying to get through the 500-some page novel, all the while struggling to find a thesis for which I can research and come up with fifteen pages of sufficient work.
I'm just happy graduation is approaching, and then summer. The last summer before I am officially a college student.
It's crazy. It really is.
