Refelctions

I can't beleive it's over. That went by really fast. Sometimes I think it's for the better, other times I wish I could have slowed time, but I think in the end it was just right. I think back to the beginning of the year and it felt like it was so long ago, going to football games, tailgating, that first couple weekends where we walked everywhere just looing for any party we could find. I think about how I felt like it might be hard to keep in touch with a lot of my friends only to find out that it wasn't that hard at all and I realized that if you are good enough friends with someone it is easy to keep in touch. Thinking about that the other night, I was very thankful for all of my friends, new and old, I don't know what I would do without them. Although it did go fast, even last semester seemed like a long time ago, but then again I can remember moving in like it was yesterday. I was so nervous to see what things would be like with my roommate, school and meeting people. And I do have to say, that feeling carried almost all the way through the semester. Thankfully I had a wonderful roommate to keep me sane, that helped me more than she will ever know. And once I started to get the whole school thing down, I was feeling better, but man is it hard at first to meet people. I mean, yeah just meeting someone isn't hard, but acutally keeping in touch and growing close to them is something that I would have never expected to be as hard as it was this year. I did make some really good friends, some of the best I will ever have in my life, but I only made a few really special ones. I think this is a good place to put the "it's quality, not quantity" saying in because I full heartedly beleive that to be true. I would rather have a small group of people that I am super close with rather than just a bunch of people who I barley know. I'm rambling now, too many thoughts going on in my head.
I would just like to say thank you to all of you who have made my freshman year so worthwhile, so fun, so memorable, so meaningful. No matter if you go here or not, you know who you are and I could not be more grateful for all the friends I have.

The other night we were (once again) talking about all of the things we would miss and I found myself looking back on memories as I shared them with Ashley and Lauren for more than an hour. They would just keep popping up into my head, and I realized that these truly are the best years of my life. I remember when my mom told me that about highschool and I just shook my head as I told her I had too much homework. And by the time I realized how fun it all was, it was already too late. So I am glad I am taking this into account now, and how I should be so thankful for the life that I live.
Ahh, what a year what a year. I am also very pleased with all of the people who came up to visit me. That was always a good time, and once again proves my friends are the best! I am going to miss the crazy nights were I barely remember anything, as well as the laid back nights were we just hung out in this great dorm room of ours and talked about anything and everything. I would have never expected the year to turn out like it did, it's funny how little things work themselves out like that.

Ok! Enough on my sweet ass school experience. Tomorrow is the big move out day and it still hasn't hit me. Except last night when I got a little upset. But we shall not talk about that. It was a good time, we decided to party it up to celebrate for no more school. I sometimes celebrate a little too hard, but it was fun and I found out that I am not too shabby at the duck hunt game! Tonight Red Robin with Katie and her 'rents and then we shall see where the night takes us!! Last night in FoCo, so I better enjoy every minute of it.
I am going to go cry now. Just kidding, but I am going to get ready I will be back in the near future cause I feel like making a list... eventually. But I have a quick question before I leave, why when you get the hiccups do you get them more than once in a day? I do not know, boggles my mind.

Me and my favorite roomie! Love ya Lauren! 

Ha, I love this one. John looks like a model, and poor Matt, his shirt got spilled on, he looks very concerned. And then Lauren and I are just doing what we do best--having a good time!! 

Party at Chip's! 

Dance party in the room with my favorite girls (minus Ashley, we cleared a spot but she had to take the picture)
