So I came back to my room today to find all of my roomie's things are gone. She's gone. She went home. And then it hit me, I'm going home tomorrow and freshman year will be over. My God, that is so sad! This year was such a blast and I learned soooo much academically and about myself. I really think I've grown into myself this year. I'm much more self-confident and much more happy because of that. Sure, we all have our feel-like-shit days but there have been more I-feel-great days than feel-like-shit days.
I experienced a lot of "firsts" this year in college. First real kiss, first time truly being rejected, first drunk experience, first B+ in my LIFE! haha! And I made so many new friends along the way. That's what college is all about though, right? Meeting new people and finding your place in the world. I'm going to miss everyone so much. It kind of sucks that I was in a dorm with all people who live in PA and NJ. Maybe I'll just have to make a few trips up there.
But I came back into my room and found a note from my roomie. I was so touched that it made me cry. Fuck, I'm still crying now. If you know me at all...I don't cry often, about anything. I can honestly think of only two times that I've cried all this year. But the letter really touched me. We've grown so much together and learned so much. Sure, sometimes we got on each other's nerves, but that's because we cared. It's going to be so weird not living with Sammy next year. I'm sure I'll have a blast in Logan though. I don't know ANYONE in that dorm, so I'll get to meet a whole slew of new people again! I can't freaking wait!
Now it's time for summer. Jobs. Old friends. And Lynchburg. Oh boy! I'm happy to go home, but not really. I'd rather stay here forever and ever and ever! Freshman year is really great because you find out who was really your friend and high school and who wasn't at all. I've definitely figured out who those people are. One more final, a two games of racquetball and a grilled cheese from D-Hall is all I have left of my freshman year. Sad!!
I miss my roomie already. :(
