Lot of love!
This past year has been one of the toughest that I think I will ever have to encounter in my entire life. I decided that I needed to thank the people that have helped keep me sane this year….
Kristen- you are amazing and we have gone through so much together. I cant wait for you to be home this summer and to see if we have really made it through…..
Gilly- you have been the person that I have turned to with almost anything and even if you didn’t agree with what I was saying you tried to help me make me calm down. You have been by my side all year and I don’t think there is anything that I can do to repay you….
Crystal- you are the funniest person that I have ever met, you have also been there for me all year. I am going to miss you next year buddy!
Tracy and Rhonda- We haven’t gotten as close as we have with other people but you both are amazing….
Danielle- We met during summer orientation and have been friends since….we have been through a lot and you better keep in touch because if you don’t ill get yelled at by my dad again….
Erin- You truly are and will always be the best RA ever!!!! You helped me and the rest of the suite out so much….you were greatly missed this semester….
Gina- you never left our suite, but it was well worth it….you are amazing and made me laugh every time that I saw you…
Jess- when I first met you, I didn’t like you, but know you have become one of my favorite people ever…..we have gone through a lot here and always managed to get ourselves in trouble….
Gwen- I always called you while you were working or in class, but it is alright….You always took time out of your day to make sure that I was alright even if you were busy or it was the middle of the night….I cant wait for this summer, sorry I never made it to Drew, every time I tried my car died …
Val and Shauna- You guys always cheered me up as well...we didn’t talk that much, but when we did it was always fun…I miss you guys and I’m sorry I never got to visit you….
Katy- We finally became friends again after a few rough months….I love you to pieces and this summer is gonna kick ass….Lets never fight again…
Maria and Marissa- You guys have been my sanity for the last couple of weeks….you are like the only people that I can tell stuff to at Fitchburg and it doesn’t go anywhere….I will get you straightened out, I promise I do know you apart, I just suck at the name game……I will miss you guys over the summer…..
Freshman- I don’t even think words could describe it…..we have gone through a lot this year and always with each other….I <3 you!!! And don’t worry, when you move, ill still come steal you…..
Smangela- I <3 YOU!!!!, you are always right there when I need someone to listen to me….or help me through a situation…We are going to have a kick ass summer!
Miss Malone, Mrs. Ardagna, and Mrs. Young- You guys have kept me here at FSC….you make me smile with the little things you do, like the cards and the emails….its so nice to know that someone else is thinking of you and making sure that you are doing alright….thanks for all of the encouragement you have ever given me, it means a lot…..
Auntie Linda- thanks for all of those nice phone calls that I made when I was driving back to FSC every Sunday….I loved it! I miss you guys sooooo much but I am hoping to come down there this summer.
And finally, to my parents- although we don’t normally get along, I love you guys will all of my heart, and I know how much you have gone through to make sure that I will be fine at FSC….this is the first time that I have had to solve my own problems and figure things out on my own, but you were always there with guidance, even if I didn’t want to take it or I called you in the middle of the night crying and just wanted to cry….I love you and I always will……
Ok that was my rant….If I forgot anyone, I am sorry, I will add you…..I <3 All of you!!!
I guess my In a Few weeks has reached a week....:`(.....A year has past and now we stand on the brink of returning to a world where we are surrounded by the paradox of everything yet nothing being the same. In a few weeks we will reluctantly give our hugs and, fighting the tears, say goodbye to the people who were once just names on a sheet of paper to return to people that we hugged and fought tears to say goodbye to before we ever left. We will leave our best friends to return to our best friends. We will go back to places we came from and go back to the same things we did last summer and every summer before. We will come into town on that same familiar road, and even thought it has been months, it will seem like only yesterday.
As you walk into your old bedroom, every emotion will pass through you as you reflect on the way your life has changed and the person you have become. You suddenly realize that the things that were most important to you a year ago don't seem to matter so much anymore, and the things you hold highest now, no one at home will completely understand. Who will you call first? Where are you going to work? Who will be at the party Saturday night? What has everyone been up to? Who from school will you keep in touch with? How long before you actually start missing people bargaining in without calling or knocking? Who will get breadsticks with you at three in the morning? How long until you adjust to sleeping in a room by yourself, or how long before you realize your three best friends aren't in the bed next to your room?
Then you realize how much things have changed, you realize the hardest part of college is balancing the two completely different worlds you now live in, trying desperately to hold on to everything all the while trying to figure out what you have to leave behind. In the matter of one day's traveling time, we will leave our world of living next door to our best friends, walking across campus to eat, instant messenger, 8:00 classes, and perpetual procrastination to a world that will seem foreign to us despite the fact that we have lived in it for nineteen years.
But it is different now... We now know the meaning of true friendship. We know whom we have kept in touch with over the past year and whom we hold dearest to our hearts. We've left our high school worlds to deal with the real world. We have had our hearts broken, we've fell in love, we've helped our best friends through the toughest times of their lives, something their even best friends at home couldn't be there for. We've stayed up all night just to be there for a friend. We've partied the night away, doing stupid stuff, but we were always there for each other afterwards. There have been times when we've felt so helpless being hours away from home when we know our families or friends needed us most, and there are times when we know we have made a difference.
A few weeks from now we will leave. A few weeks from now we take down our pictures, and pack up our clothes. No more going next door to do nothing for hours on end. We will leave our friends whose random emails and phone calls will bring us to laughter and tears this summer. We will take our memories and dreams and put them away for now, saving them for our return to this world.
A few weeks from now from now we will arrive. A few weeks from now from now we will unpack our bags and have dinner with our families. We will drive over to our best friend's house and do nothing for hours on end. We will return to the same friends whose random emails and phone calls have brought us laughter and tears over the past year. We will unpack old memories and dreams that have been put away for the past year.
A few weeks from now we will dig deep inside to find the strength and conviction to adjust to change and still keep each other close. And somehow, in someway, we will find our place between these two worlds.
In a few weeks.... are you ready?
