T-33 days
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have 33 days left of COLLEGE! These last four weeks are going to fly by. There is so much to do in that period of time (Easter Break, Senior Ball, NYC trip). I guess in a way I'm glad it's going to be filled up because then I won't have as much time to dwell on how inconcievably fast these past four years have gone. It's weird though because on the one hand I feel like "finally I've come to the end of these four years", but then another part of me is saying "what the hell happened to the time?" It just feels like it's all passed by so quickly, which in some respects has been a good thing, but now that I'm down to the home stretch I almost feel like hitting the breaks big time. At least I can say that I'm leaving college having had an amazing experience- seven great friends that have been there to share many, many laughs as well as other things.
We were talking about things the other night and I said that I came to SJC planning to transfer after freshman year (at that point it was just a place to go, as I was CRUSHED that UMass fell through). If it had not been for Marybeth, I would have followed through with that plan. But she was like my "instant best friend"- we've lived together and done everything together since the first day freshman year. I don't know how to imagine my life without her being in the same room with me- all those crazy late-night talks! It will be an experience I will always treasure and truly miss.
Now I feel like I'm at a crossroads. I'm very much looking forward to getting married in June and settling down with Ben, and even beginning my career. Yet I am also finding myself wanting to stay where I am. How do I finish this chapter in my life? Four weeks left to live it up and enjoy every minute. What will become of myself and my friends? Will we really keep in touch like we plan to? I guess this is something I'm just not going to know until I experience it.
Four weeks left, girls. I hope you all know how much your friendship means to me.
