Summing Up My Senior Year
I haven't felt like updating in a good long while cuz this year's been crazy, and honestly I didn't have the energy to type it all out. Some parts were good, and some were bad, but here are the highlights:
*I found out who my real friends are, the one's who I'm gonna grow old with. They are amazing, wonderful, kind, accepting, loyal people and I can't thank life enough for sending them my way.
*I also found out that aside from those select people who you can call your real friends, there are very few people who you can count on. I've been mistreated and just plain stabbed in the back by a few people who I thought were friends. This came as a shock to me at first, but I figure if people are gonna suck so bad, they were never really my friends to begin with. They were just good at acting.
*This year I fell in love with one of my real, best friends. All I have to say about that is, love isn't the fairy tale it's been made out to be. Don't get me wrong, it can be great and nice and fulfilling at times, but it can also hurt just as much. Sometimes being in love is just terrible.
*I learned that in order for a living arrangement to really work, you have to genuinely like and trust the people you call your roomies. One or two bad apples really can ruin the whole bunch.
*I realized I'm no good at dealing with change. Graduation was, and still is, one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. I liked my life I made at WSC. I liked seeing the people I love every day, and I still feel sad and alone sometimes when I think back on all the good times we've had together. Seeing all the pictures from college also gets to me pretty bad.
*I found out that I have a lot of potential, and sometimes I underestimate myself. I'll admit I'm my own worst critic, but graduating with honors and landing a good job right out of college is nothing to sniffle at. My mom told me today that she believes I'll be wonderful at anything I try, and I gotta say, I believe her.
*That old cliche that goes "It's not what you do, but who you do it with that really matters" is completely true. Looking back on the times I felt bored, or felt I wasn't accomplishing much, I realize I was doing nothing with the best people in the world. Those silly, pointless, useless times just spent sitting on the couch and laughing, are the times that make life... life.
*Lastly, I learned that drinking 3 pitchers of beer yourself is bound to make you black out and not remember who slept next to you that night. And that is the most valuable thing I took away from my 4 years at Westfield State College.
If I never update this thing again, it'll be ok because I feel like this is a good and worthwhile note to duck out on. Love you all.
