As I'm writing this, I look behind me to see stacks of packed boxes, ready to be brought home. It's quite bittersweet, thinking about how this semester ended up. I've got one more final tomorrow afternoon, but after that I'm hopping on the train back to NY.
Four months. Four months has already passed us by. Four months that have changed our lives forever.
I know for the fact that everybody has grown in some way shape or form. Whether or not it's your first year in college, or you're not even there yet, there's probably been something different in these past four months. I never imagined college to be quite like this. It's definitely a lot more than I thought it would be, but nothing I can't handle. It helps you get a better perspective of yourself: who you really are and how you handle yourself in front of everyone. I can't say this semester has been drama-free, but it's so much different than high school drama. Everything is so much different. It feels like one month is equivalent to three, yet time goes by as slow as ever. There are times when you want life to fast forward, and there are other times when you just want to hit pause.I have a whole lot to thank God for this year. The list is endless and it'd take me until the new year to write it out. I guess I realized the true meaning of love this year, and not just because I have a boyfriend now. The true meaning of being unconditionally loved by God. The feeling of having a loving family, and loving them back. Having loving friends back home who still miss you even though they're miles away, and having friends you see every day who love you. Having that special someone who doesn't have to say "I love you" to show how much they mean it, you can see the love in their eyes. Just love.
I've found out how to love and be loved.
