Where has the last semester of my life gone? I feel like I missed it, however I know I accomplished so much. They said college goes by the quickest in your life, even faster than High School and after last year I really did not believe it. Then again, it is also said that the first year of college is the toughest. This semester feels like it just started. I remember August and it being hot as hell like last year and moving the shit in. Now it's December and cold again. In between I rode a horse for the first time, met a lot of new friends who have been awesome, learned new drinking games, learned to tackle yield signs, had my first run in with Student Judicial Affairs, met a new girl, worked with people with disabilities and helped them ride horses, volunteered for an airplane crash scenario as a victim, designed and ran from start to finish with a group from my Rec Class a haunted house at the Boys and Girls Club, set up my fieldwork at the Boys and Girls Club, decided that Recreation is what I want to do with my life, finished off my own fifth of Jack on Halloween night, dressed up for halloween for the first time in years, bought my own hookah, decided on going to a Conference in Chicago, drove to Kentucky to go to a Haunted House, met and named T R AshMcCan, tried jello shots for the first time, then made jello shots, became part of the One Flip Wonder team for Flippy Cup, tagged a refrigerator with Hubiert, got a new job, passed an ethics test for the state, completed an actual proposal for a recreational activity like what I will have to do in the real world, spent a day in a wheelchair and stared crazily at the kids while doing it and many other amazing things.
So many amazing things have happened to me in the last semester and I finally feel comfortable with my life. I walk through campus and see plenty of people I know and can say hi and have a conversation with. I rarely had that last year and I felt alone when walking to class. True I had a much better roommate last year, but next semester fixes the current roomie situation. I just am really pleased with how life has turned out now. I can only imagine what will happen next semester. Oh well looking forward now, I have some finals coming up that I am not too worried about, and then a month off. True I will be working and I don't really like Baker's Square at all, but I get to see the friends again! Until break, I bid you farewell.
