Hello. I haven't updated for awhile now, but I figured since tonight is officially the last summer night until next year, I will do my annual reflect on the summer entry.
Summer had its ups and its downs, I regret nothing I did, or anything that happened, just lessons learned. This summer I gained many new friends, but yet again I lost contact with people I really didn't want to.
My annual going to Myrtle Beach, SC trip was great, I loved it, I got to see Matt which was nice. Once again i'm counting down the days until which I go to the beach next year.
It's weird, to look back and to think back to when I was writing last years summer reflect entry. I was becoming a sophmore, scared shitless of going to school, and here I am now, a junior and ready to start off the school year right.
In many ways, I have grown this summer. I moved out of my moms house for many reasons, which I've been wanting to for awhile so it was a goal achieved. The reason that pushed me to the point I moved out was because my mom let a guy come in her life, ruin any mother/daughter - sister/sister relationship that we had. She became oblivious to my exsistance, and it pissed me off. In the end, the guy came to be someone he wasn't, numerous lies were made, numeroius promises were broken, and numerous dreams were crashed to the ground. On a better note though, I finally got a job and making my own money, I work at Orange Julius if it wasn't already known. I love working there, and the people are so nice.
This summer has shown me, basically the real world. I don't have a car, nor do I have my license, YET, but making my own money, being able to pay for what I want/need, and trying to figure out how much money i'll have for my own spending in the end has shown me really what it's like to be older.
Before I went to the beach, I had met this guy Brent. We met at a show and he really didn't talk to me until he started randomly dancing to DOH, and kept coming over to me. I went outside then, he gave me a hug and asked how old I was, I was like "sixteen" and he said "oh too young for me haha". I was on the road home from South Carolina when I got this random text. It was from Brent, well we started talking, and since about the beginning of August, we haven't had a day where we haven't seen each other. We can be very random, and very weird/crazy when we're together but it's all good.
So, tonight being the last summer night, I get to work from 6-9:30, damn. Wednesday starts school, i'm excited, i'm kind of ready to go back, on the other hand, i'm going to miss summer. This year, I am pushing myself to the full extent, I can't slack off and not do my work/study, which normally happens, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN.
Junior year, better be a good one.
