Ok, so I haven't written/typed/whatever you want to call it on here since December. I haven't felt the need to. I still don't feel the need to, actually. However, I want to broadcast the past few months of my life here. Why, you ask? Why not? eh?
My first year at St. John's was nothing short of completely amazing. I definitely picked the right school/place for me. Sure, there were bad days... bad weeks even. But, all of the good times over-shadowed them ten-fold. I made some of the most amazing friends of my lifetime. I lucked out and got to live with some of the greatest girls in the country, no lie. They taught me so much about myself and I am forever grateful for that. I lost touch with some people at home. I put all of my efforts into remaining in touch with certain people even though the outcomes were not what I expected or wanted in any shape or form. I guess i've changed as a person. No doubt about that, really. This time last year, I was graduating from Central... and I was definitely not the happiest person in the world. My life felt so... habitual and work took over my life most of the time.
I remember crying at graduation thinking things couldn't get better than what I had at Central. I was SO wrong. I am still grateful for my high schools years though. They were pretty awesome as well and as far as high school goes, it doesn't get better than Central. But, this past year at college was what i'll consider the happiest year of my life, thus far. I know that that is difficult to believe, but it's true. I laughed. I cried. I smiled. I partied. I studied (well tried, anyway). I failed tests. I aced tests. I stayed up until sunrise for no reason. I had fun. Through all of this, I became a happier me.
This blog thing is all over the place, but it's for me, not you. anyways...
I found Matthew. I am now a firm believer of finding things when you aren't looking for them. I was NOT looking for him and he wasn't looking for me, but things worked out pretty perfectly. I miss him like crazy and am well aware that the rest of this summer is going to be hard. But, for him, I guess I can try. He makes me so incredibly happy and treats me better than I ever imagined a guy to.
I discovered New York City and all that it had to offer. I also realized how much I love Philly and don't think I could ever live anywhere else permanently. I found such amazing people in Hollis Hall. My suitemates. All the regulars at the 503 parties. All the random people that considered my room their own. annnnnnnnnnnnnd I wouldn't have had it any other way.
