Say Goodbye, the show is over....
As much as I regret to acknowledge this, it’s something I must do: the 2004-2005 school has ended. Sophomore year of college is now history. The memories made and the trials and tribulations of our lives are all apart of what was our sophomore year. With the end of this time in our lives, comes an end to dorm living. No longer will we scan an id to enter our own “home” after 12am. We will no longer have to check in guests, drink “discretely” in our rooms, or have the “make it” or “break it” point of the day depend upon what’s being served in the caf. Unfortunately, we will no longer be living with 7 of our best friends….
The past two years have been amazing. I wouldn’t trade my experiences with dorm living for my life. I can honestly say I have made some of the most impacting relationships with the people I live with. I have learned so much from each relationship, and for that, I am grateful.
This year, in particular, has been a major growing year for us all. At this time last year, we were still naive freshman, going back home to live with mommy and daddy, and hoping we weren’t going to have a curfew. Now, some of us are going home-and dreading it…while others will be living on their own for the summer. We have internships, better jobs, and another year of “college life” under our belts. Slowly, but surely, we are growing up.
As next year unfolds, so will more responsibility. Paying rent, bills, cooking, and fucking planning ahead will surely be the end to some. It’s going to suck to grocery shop for every single meal…which means there will be a lot of cereal, yogurt and tuna fish in most of our carts-minus MatyJ However, with next year comes the coveted age of 21 for us lucky ones. We can finally rest assured we will not get an MIP! We can stumble around East Lansing drunk as hell (like normal), but won’t have to worry about the 5-0 every two minutes. Ahh…the joys of growing old.
This isn't coming out the way I had planned…apparently what I’m feeling can’t really be expressed into words. So, in conclusion, I just want to say, “thank you,” to everyone who has made this year so great. All the drunken debaucheries, hangovers from hell, TV nights, and endless conversations will never be forgotten. I love you guys!!!!!
