Today is Tuesday May 8th, and holy crap is it a droopy rainy day outside. On rainy days all I want to do is sleep and watch movies.
So lately a lot has been happening, well more like this past year. I can say I have had a lot of ups, and a bunch of unfortunate things happen to me this school year. I can't believe I am a SENIOR in college now, that is the first and last time you'll hear me say that, I feel old when I say that haha :). I've realized the older I get the harder it is to say goodbye to people. I have made a lot of memories with seniors this past year, some that I will never forget. When I went to graduation this past Saturday it was hard to sit up in the stands and constantly think about how that is going to be me on the football field a year from now getting ready to graduate, heck I have no idea what exactly I would like to do with my life..TBD.
As I heard the seniors get their names called, I couldn't help but think. "Will I ever see them again?" "Will I ever get to talk to them again?"..it sounds stupid but its a thought that I believe should be questioned. Growing up through high school we move onto big and better things as we go into college. I have some friends from high school, but people move on start their lives somewhere else. I have a lot of friends up at college, whether they are big or small, someone I talk to for 5 secs a day or someone that I hangout with all the time, along with all of those inbetweeners. I could go on name all the fun times I had with all of these seniors and underclassman, but that is not the point of why I am writing this blog post..so here we GO.
Dear seniors,
There are some that I am going to really miss because some of you all I would see everyday and don't know what its going to be like next semester not seeing you every semester. There are some that I barely talked to, but when I did I loved to. There are some that I maybe used to talk to, but for some odd reason this past year didn't as much. The list goes on and on, but the important thing to know is that you all have made an impact in my life one way or another. I understand that life goes on, and that times moves on but seeing friends go is not the easiest thing to do. Of course, people will say that they will keep in touch or that they will visit, but I'm a realistic person, it will not be that easy. Heck, you all are going to be starting your lives somewhere else doing BIG things.
So I would like to say this, thanks for being a part of my life, and whether you are a senior, or someone my age, or someone that is an underclass that you all have been a part of my life one way or another and life would not be the same without you all. Through the good and bad as your journey continues always remember what got you this far. Family, friends, dedication, the will to not give up etc. Never forget the people who have got you through the hard times, the people when no one else seemed to be around they were always there.
So my point to this all? Yes, time is moving fast, and while sometimes I wish there could be a pause button its a fact of life that at some point we all have to move on. I am going to be in many of your seats next year, and I plan to live my life to the absolute fullest for my senior year at Shippensburg University.
My one friend likes to say the quote, "You know what they say about worrying?..DONT!
I can sit here writing this with a smile face knowing that while you all have touched a lot of people in your time here, your going to do even more as you move on, whether you continue on to grad school or the work force. Through the good and bad times, I can say I have made some of the greatest memories with all of you.
So do me a favor, if you ever need something, dont be afraid to ask, ever need a laugh you know my number, ever just want to talk, you have a phone probably and hands to operate it.
Bottom line, not am I only going to miss you all, but many people will. So keep on this journey, and always remember that there are people out there wanting you to succeed!
Time may be moving fast, but nothing else you can do about it except live your life to the fullest. I will still be around, and I HOPE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER YOU CAN TOO.
DONT BE UPSET THAT LIFE IS MOVING ON, BE HAPPY FOR ALL THE MEMORIES YOUVE CREATED AND THE MORE THAT ARE TO COME.
I've learned in my life that, sometimes you have to make an effort for things to work out. This is not a typical blog that I like to write about, kind of boring and I realize many people won't even get this far, but if you are that person, whether you just graduated or just another friend, close person, family member..anything..THANK YOU.
talk to you all soon
