end of fall semester sophomore year!

it's funny... when the end of the semester comes and you don't know how to take it. this one went by very fast. and it was amazingly complicated. i lost more than one important person... my cousin Jamie and my first real love. as much as it hurts... i'm trying to learn from it all, from the ups and the downs here's what i learned this semester:
  • death hurts. always. even when you know it's coming. even when you've been prepared. it hurts. a lot. Rest in peace Jamie... i'm living my life for you. everyday.
  • love can hurt too. especially when it's over. but it happens. and you try your hardest to pick up and move on. taking that pain with you and hoping that something or someone will fill the void
  • friends truly are the most important aspect of college life. more important than classes. more important than the stupid papers. yes, those things are important... but without strong friends.... we'd all fail. yeah... they take our time, are a huge distraction, and kill our grades. but without them where would we be? who would we eat with? who would make us laugh til our problems went away? who would do homework with us? who would hug us and show up in our rooms without our knowledge of letting them in? college friends make college livable. thanks for a great semester guys! my favorite girlssssss... rw, ab, nd, cj, aa, sm, tr
  • home friends are another hugeeeeeeee thing... without them i would never go home. who else would take me make me a miracle elixer after a wake? who would drive me on my endless rides to nowhere? who would be there for me when the really serious things hit... like, oh hey... a siliver volvo? my true home friends... me, ak, id, lb
  • oh.... and about the whole... classes, grades thing... it's not so bad when you actually do what you're supposed to... lol. why didn't someone tell me that a year ago? hahaha. jk. they did. i needed to figure it out on my own. and i did. thank the heavens!

this semester has been long... but i made it. we all did. and now we go home... recuperate... and do it all again... there are things i know i will change... what will you?
