Not sure why, but suddenly nostalgia takes effect. It's been an interesting summer. The first part is easily lumped into being another UNH time allotment, as it was spent in summer session. That was June. July was spent in up's and down's. Most of the up's include being with friends I haven't seen in a while and being able to know my family better, as well letting them know that i'm not a complete psycho. Emphasis on the complete. The down's can be sorted into wisdom teeth extraction. Thankfully, I won't have to relive that and they're out. I'm not sure if they would ever fuck up my teeth alignment, but better safe than sorry. August was a lag, the longest of the three. It's not even completely over, yet I find myself pining for UNH. Talking with many people on the topic, I found that many people actually found this summer to be one of the longest ever. My neighbor actually quoted this best, in "Remember when summers were actually fun?" The old friends, the old faces and feelings have some facsimilies which appear in the home life, but they're exactly that. Copies. They're not unique by themselves. I've been told before that college changes your life on many levels, but that never really sunk in until I experienced it myself. The people I meet there and call my friends are people I will more than likely call friends 10 years from now. It just leaves you with a very interesting feeling, to have somewhere to go to at the end of a wait. Whether that wait be long or short is the real trouble. It's funny that this wait is relatively short in the huge span of things, but it can be a real fucking bitch at times. Is this really what young adult life is like? Then what the hell awaits the young adult into the "maturity" to actual adulthood? Am I asking too many questions? Maybe I'm just growing up... hopefully not.
One of my best friends waits ahead at UNH. Seeing her again will be joyous and will make all the troubles dissapear. I've shared a lot with her and she's been there for me when I needed help. You know who you are. I love you.
And we'll all float on alright
