The end of the best year yet.

[softbalprincess]

So I'm sitting on my floor in my room in my apartment in Allendale for the last night. It's my last night here and I can't believe how quickly it has flown. I really don't want it to be over. My roommates have been the best I could ever ask for (minus rando. rhizzazou) and my experiences here topped any and all expectations I could have ever had. I learned so much about myself and about what I want to be. I made an amazing lifelong friend in jaimee and strengthened the friendship and sisterly bonds with katie. i learned how to be more domesticated than I've normally been. i learned that the right people will actually love me for me even if i act like my crazy self 24/7. that sometimes silliness and illogical thinking ARE, in fact, the answer. and that nothing can make a night better than a round of midnight margaritas (a tradition that i will always hold near and dear to my heart after this year!) I learned that bumps and brusies can occur within friendships, but the real ones will hold on until everything is healed. And that lazy days are better shared than used alone. I don't even know how to begin explaining the year I've gone through with these girls...but I can say I really wish it wasn't ending. This will be a year I never forget for all my life; this year is the reason I will look back so fondly on college. This, ladies and gentleman, has thus far been the year of my life. Even through all the shit and ups and downs. I can't think of a better way I could have spent this year than in this apartment with these girls.

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.

It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
