Home is where the heart is
When I first arrived here at AU, I went to sleep at night dreaming of my queen sized bed in Ohio. I dreamt of random streets and my house and my friends. I didn't sleep well, I missed home that much.
Now when I go home for the weekend, I dream of AU. I dream of the quad and the dorm and my friends here. It can't believe we leave in two weeks.
Before I went to college, or probably even before I got to high school I would read Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. Now I know that is so silly, but I loved them. I loved the stories, the quotes, everything. But there was this one story about a girl who came from home to college with a serious boyfriend. They were good for a while but then they broke up. And who comforted her wasn't the people she had left at home but the friends she had made in college. I had always hoped that would be how college was, all new friends, all new adventures, and that's what it has turned out to be.
When I have issues with Mike, i don't run to call Jenna and bitch about him. I talk to Mare or Jess or even Danitha. Because they get and they usually have extremely insightful things to say. Sure I still love Jenna and Tom, but my love for them has changed, just like it is supposed to. It goes along with that stupid quote "true friends can grow seperate but still grow together" or something like that. I usually mix um my idioms.
Anyway, I just love it here. let me say that a few more times. I've met wonderful people, even people I already knew but didn't know they were this amazing. I've met awesome guys and had great adventures. And I'm going to be really sad when they are over.
But next year will be a new adventure, with new people and fun times. But I love the friends I have made this year and hope that everyone knows how much they mean to me.
Ok I'm done being sappy!
This is what going to a Deaf Church does to a person. haha
Love to all
