So I leave for Clemson in two days.
Originally I was super stoked to get back to school, but after this past week I have become more nostalgic about the past I suppose. Dont get me wrong, I cant wait to see everyone from school. Just hanging out with everyone from home this past week has been really nice. I realized that I genuinly miss this people like crazy. I wish we all would have hung out more this summer.
Isnt it funny how people from your past randomly pop into your head? Most the time this causes me to smile, sometimes laugh, and occasionally get a little sad. For instance at school this year when I would say 'dude' or talk in that stupid voice all the boys used to use. I made a lot of picture collages this week from high school days. It was a very enjoyable experience.
I definitely feel like I've been confronted with a lot of ghost from the past this week as well. Had those moments that made me momentarily wish it had turned out different. But everything that was so big before just doesn't matter anymore- atleast too much ;)
I go back to Clemson with a much greater appreciation for what my life was pre-college and for all those people in my life. Even those I still don't really talk to or keep up with- you would be surprised how often I think of you.
I was thinking about how we have all changed. Everyone has changed-especially me. But hanging out this week with everyone- the familiarity was comforting. We are all different, but our chemistry is more or less the same. Unfortunatly, we all are slowly moving in different directions, and even if we stayed, it wouldnt mold our futures back together. I've always been okay with moving on. I truly appreciate those I have kept in touch with and remain close with. So, until another fabulous reunion...
