i wish i had taken more pictures...
i was just looking through pictures from freshman year and it made me happy, yet really sad at the same time. i can't get over how incredibly young we looked and how silly we were. we really had some great times, in fact i think that was my favorite year of college thus far. there were so many pictures! which made me realize, i haven't taken any this semester at all. strange...we had all four years ahead of us then, but we made a point to capture each moment before it was gone. now college is almost over, and i haven't taken in any memories, even though the ones now would be more precious than ever. i started to get that song from avenue q "i wish i could go back to college" stuck in my head, and it really hit for once. today was the last day of class, and i actually miss the people in my discussion group already. i don't know if i'll ever really see them again, besides kathleen, of course. i wish i had met them earlier in college - i bet we'd be really good friends by now. but there's still time left and who knows....it's just crazy right now to think of time slipping by so fast, but it really does. if you told me in september that this semester was going to go by in a blink, i would have laughed in your face. doesn't seem so funny to me now. guess i just wanted to write this to remind myself to enjoy every second of every day that i have been blessed enough to live. to not take people for granted and to always remember the times we shared together. to not be afraid to take a risk for fear of making a mistake, because if you never let yourself be vulnerable, you can never take in all the experiences life has to give. just live. this is the only life you have - enjoy it, treasure it, make the absolute most of it, LIVE it.
