i love you guys
i'm supposed to be doing work, but i've been meaning to update for awhile so i'm going to do that instead. basically, my life is amazing right now. i just feel like things are perfect...they're not, but it seems that way. i've had a few amazing nights with my friends in the past few weeks that made me so unbelievably happy with my life right now. the first was last week, the night of the presidential ball. the whole night was spectacular...so much fun, i can't even describe it. but there was this moment where i almost felt removed from the whole dance, like i was watching it happen, like a movie. and it was like the end of a movie where everything works out right and everyone is happy and together. some slow-ish song was playing (i really need to figure out what song it was...something from the 90s that everyone knows the words to and its just a really good song) and i was dancing with joe but a bunch of my friends (drunk and sober) had gathered to dance in a circle (like in middle school...or like in college when everyone is drunk and happy and in love with each other) and were dancing right next to us. everyone was slowly swaying, arms around each other, singing the words, smiling and laughing at whoever drunkenly was in the middle of the circle at the time. some of the people in the circle werent even good friends of mine, just good people i know, some were old friends, some were new. and i was just entranced by the moment. i don't know how else to describe it. i was just like wow this is what you always see in movies and wish it was real..and it was. i just looked slowly looked around the circle, at each of the smiling, laughing faces, and thought about how much i loved these people and how lucky i was to have found so many genuinely nice and good people to be friends with. you always worry coming into college if you're going to make friends or be happy or if it will be the best four yrs of your life or what...and i can tell you, in that moment i knew that i want to be friends with these people forever. no matter where like takes each of us and no matter how far away, i will make the effort to keep in touch and see each other as much as possible. college has been amazing and i know i will always look back on it and smile. the next 2 yrs hold infinitely more possibilities for making new memories and having more amazing times together before we spread out into the world.
wow how do i transition from that? anyways..the other time when i just had so much fun was bowling the other night. we had 2 lanes of people and it was just such a good group. i love them all so much. we had so much fun...now it's all just a blur of dancing, singing, bowling and laughing but i'm so glad we took a bunch of pictures. pictures are amazing. i love to look back at them, remember, and smile. i hope i make the most of all that is awaiting me in the next few yrs and that life continues to be as amazing as it has been lately.
also, this is not to say these are the only times lately that have made me happy like this. every night or day that i've spent with friends anywhere...whether it's dinner at la salsa, homework at the townhouse, movies in the apartments, or an amazingly perfect day at the beach...they've all been amazing. and i know many many more await me.
to all my friends: i love you all. to all those i don't see or talk to as often as i should: we need to hang out. to all of you, near and far: i hope we never ever lose touch because you are all the most important people in the world to me, and i can't imagine my life without any of you.
