Last night was probably the last time Nicole, Cindy, Melissa, Marcie and I got together as a group before college. We realize that college is not a death sentence, and we'll actually see each other fairly soon (duh Thanksgiving is like right around the corner), so instead of getting all nostalgic, we played Bullshit instead. It was awesome. But that doesn't mean I have to stop being nostalgic on LJ, so with this last post I'm going to talk about the girls. High school was such a wonderful 4 years full of laughs, tears, great memories, great regrets and everything else cliche` that is supposed to be there (CLICHE` WARNING-this post is full of a lot of the big ones). It was so great because of the people, especially the Chicklets. I know we were a very tight group, and I loved that I got so comfortable with these girls we could all sit in silence for an hour, and still say we had a blast. I know all the great times wouldn't have been the same if I hadn't shared it with them. This year alone from Senior Trip, to basement fun, to Senior Prom to milkshakes outings was fun fun fun!! The other 3 years I'm reminded of Nicole's Sweet 16, school lunches, shopping, talking, gossiping and laughing, etc. etc. Which is one reason I'm scared of college. I know academically I'll do fine, because I'll work really hard, and sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to handle it, but I know I won't let myself fail. But I'm scared for the social aspect. I mean how often do you get a chance to meet such great people and love them as sisters? I know I'm outgoing and things like that, and I know everything will work out in the end (because it always does) but I can't help but be scared. I'm really nervous about everything college related honestly. I can't sleep, and when I do I have nightmares where I don't pack anything expect for t-shirts, and so I can't leave my dorm room. I can't eat, and I worry that the food there will suck. In my heart, I am ready to begin this new chapter in my life, and I know I'll struggle, but I can't wait for this journey, despite the nerves. In my heart, I also can't wait until it's November, because by that time I will have made friends, and will have made a routine. So watch my dive! Watch me dive into the real world!! :)
