There's a road we've been travelin';

So college is obviously amazing and the best four years of anybody's life, basically. We were taught to be prepared for college. Prepared to work. Prepared to study. Prepared to meet new people. Prepared for balacing finances. Prepared to live without parents. Prepared for "the real world". Why weren't we prepared to say goodbye?

Goodbye to the friends you've spend the best years of your life with. Goodbye to the little things at home which make you love it. Goodbye to family, close and distance.

It's the goodbye to friends that are the hardest. It's not a goodbye that you say forever, it's a slow goodbye. There was Thanksgiving where we see each other and say "Can't wait for Christmas break!". Then it's Christmas break where you spend a few nights hanging out. Then there's spring break, and you hang out with whoever is home. Then there is May, when everyone is home for months. And the process repeats. But lives change and slowly and slowly you don't see many people you wish you could.

It's unfair, but it's life. So make the best of it? Yeah, I think so. And life is best in New York City.
