So True!
Somewhere between the procrastination,
and the homework
and the new friendships
and the nasty dorm food
and the calls home complaining about roomies & boyfriends
Somewhere between the phone calls to old friends
and the "i miss you's"
and the "i love you's"
and the "i can't wait to see you again's"
and somewhere between all the changing and growing
Somewhere between the classes
and the skipping classes
and the studying for tests
and the pretending to study for tests
and downright NOT studying for tests
I forgot
i forgot what it was like to be in high school
i forgot what it meant to cry
i forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy
and that pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart
I forgot that you can't forget the past
i forgot that you can't control falling in love
and that you can't make yourself all in love.
I learned that i can love
i learned that good food doesn't really seem great until you can't have it again
and i learned that even i would grow to love soup and mac & cheese
I noticed that i get along better with my mom now than i ever did before
and it wasn't because she changed - it was because i changed
I learned that going to college means making choices
and that making choices can get you into trouble
i learned that its ok to mess up
and its ok to ask for help
I learned that sometimes the things you want most in life you just can't have
I learned that the greatest thing about college isn't the parties
or the drinking
or the guys
It's the chances
Taking those chances and making the most of them
I learned that the things we want to forget
are the things which we most need to talk about
I learned that once you go to college things don't automatically get better
it's what you make of them
I learned that letters from friends are the most important thing
and that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better
But basically i just learned that my friends
both old and new
are the most important people to me in the world
and without them i wouldn't be who i am today
So this is a thank you to all my friends for always being there
I love you.
