I don't want to be a senior. Sure, when we came that was all we were trying to get to. Senior year, man, the best year of college. That's the thing, though, is that I am confident this year will be magnificent, but that's what makes it so hard. Walking around this beautiful campus, laughing with my friends, hearing people laugh in the residence halls, going to the Flying J at 1:00 in the morning...and just like that, in May it's all over? "Are you going to have to start looking for jobs?" Hannah (my roommate, who is a sophomore) asked me. "Yeah... in January or so I guess I will." what? Can I be a lifelong college student? I mean, wow, college without the classes would be even more fun!
I try and look at the positive, though, so here's my attempt at that. In the words of Scotty D, it's so hard because it's so good. It is going to be so hard to leave this place because the years here have been so good. It's funny because as I'm writing this, "Stop This Train" by John Mayer (my favorite!) came on... it's all about not wanting to grow up. "Try to keep an open mind, but I just can't sleep on this tonight." Man, he knows my mind :). Anyways, the memories I have made here have been unlike anything I ever could have imagined. It's like a 9 month long sleepover every year! I have met the most amazing people in my time here and cannot wait to see what is in store for the next 8ish months. I'm going to try and soak it up... create memories that I will cry about leaving in May, but will laugh so hard about when the tears dry. It's not going to be goodbye, right? Just "see ya later." This is probably the first of quite a few posts for the year concerning this topic, sorry about that :). If you're a senior in high school, you might be feeling the same way - high school is fun too. Just know that you have a lot to look foward to in college :).
here's to memories that last a lifetime,
