it's been a long time since i wrote in here. i've just capped off the three most amazing years of my life - i graduated college. it's still really crazy that i can say that, like it just hasn't really hit me yet. there is sadness, though, in taking this step. because it means i have to say goodbye to a big chapter of my life. and i'm scared. and i wonder if i'll keep in touch with everyone. because i've come to know some really incredible people. it's these people who made my college experience what it was - the most fun, crazy, and life-changing three years of my life. and i don't even know how to begin to thank them for that. these people know that i love them, but i think a lot of them don't understand just how big of an impact they made on me. i can honestly say i've learned something from almost everyone i've known - whether it be my sorority sisters, my friends, my roommates, my classmates, or my professors. and i will carry that with me always.
i have a tattoo on my back that's just three simple words: live, laugh, love. during my time in college, i had the opportunity to do all three - a million times over. and knowing that i was able to do so is the greatest feeling in the world.
i look at the amount of money i spent to go to rowan - almost $40,000. but, in the end, it's so worth it. i have so many priceless memories, and many good friends. it's these memories that will carry me through difficult and sad times in my life, and i couldn't be more grateful for that. so to those of you who helped me make these memories, thank you. you've truly touched my heart.
