It's that end of the school year post...you know, I cannot believe my first year of college is over, I move out on Thursday. My finals, except my vocal juries, are done. Nothing to do tomorrow but Dean Pots. I kind of dont know how to feel right now about the end of school. I cant decide where I'd rather be, here or home. There are now bad and good things about both. What I do want to do is to look back on this year and the people who made it all worth it. A lot has changed over this year and I will never forget it.
Nessa, Shayla, JJ, Erin, Trevor, Chip, Bill, Jeremy, Seth, Kim, Dave, Jorden, Dan - I know we arent friends anymore but I had a great time being your friend for most of the year. Because of you guys, I made it through that tough first semester. I did have a lot of good times, and you guys were great friends, part of me will always miss you all and think of what things might have been like. I'll always care about you all because of the care you showed me when I needed it most.
Lindsey, Amanda, Kayla, Maggie - I will miss not being able to walk down the hall and see you guys next year. We had some real good times and I hope that we will remain friends next year.
The Theatre Crew - You are all so amazingly talented and I have loved working with each and every one of you. I cannot wait to see what we will all do next year. Crazy times.
Erica, Laura, Brian, Diana, Brian, Danielle, DeDe, etc - We have had some of the most insane times, and although some were scary (haha Brian "what is happening, did I just talk to PS, why are there CA's and RD's outside my door), I would not trade them for the world.
To everyone else who was a part of my life this year, as there were soooo many of you I cannot even think to name them all, thank you for making my first year here at school a good one.
When I started this school year off I had the worst attitude. I didnt think I would find anyone I could really form a connection with. I was heartbroken from a break-up. I stayed in every night. So things progressed, friends were made, connections were formed. It was time for a lot of firsts and a lot of learning and growing in a short amount of time. Yeah, I started to be a little careless and maybe got out of hand a few times. Went through some of the hardest shit going in and out of the hospital. Winter Break changed everything for me. Reunited with old friends, made new ones, but most importantly, figured out that it doesnt take medicine to make someone happy, life is what you make of it. A lot of people, specifically being my family, might not think I'm doing so well right now, that I'm going down the wrong path, but I will tell you that I have not been this content with my life in a very long time. I'm looking forward to next year, the fun to be had, the challenges to face. One more year to party my ass off and then I'm off with Up With People to travel the world.
What I learned this year was nothing from books or teachers, but from my own experiences and mistakes. I am at a point in my life where I'm okay with things now. Roll with the punches and have a motherfucking good time. No regrets, I'm living for me now.
