once more to happy valley
so this weekend i went to penn state.
i had mad fun. i don't think there was a dull moment. in summary, i went out with amazing people and got twisted. i laughed a lot. i saw almost everyone i wanted to see. i relived my youth.
my only regret is that i have not yet developed the ability to freeze time. if i could, i would have been there a lot longer...
NAME DROP:
shauna and scott- thank you so very much for housing my entourage and me. your accommodations were more than i expected and your company, as always, was lovely. i miss you two so much, keep a couch open for me.
it was also lovely to see ben, bear attack, and bill. i only wish i could've seen more of them. regardless, thank you gentlemen.
and ryan and lauren, though i see them pretty regularly, they added to my fun. despite running through town with pizza and arguing about AS, we still made it home alright.
and of course, my homies, crazy carl and dre diggs. i know i see carl fairly often, but it was still nice to be stomping around the old stomping grounds. it's not the same. it's really different and by different, i mean hard. i suppose it didn't really hit me until i saw andrea walking down to meet us on saturday. i haven't seen her since the beginning of august, but this weekend, it was like we had never been apart. saying goodbye on sunday was harder than it had been in august. reality is finally setting in.
on the drive home, i realized that it is not state college i miss so much. in three years, things will be totally different. the reason i hate leaving state college is because of the people i'm leaving there...or just the memories of people. although i will never be able to recapture those moments, those feelings, that lifestyle, i consider myself extremely lucky for having been able to experience them in the first place.
memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.
