Moving on is simple. It's what we leave behind that's hard

this is really happening. college is starting. people are leaving. it's actually hitting me when i see pictures of friends' dorm rooms and their roommates. it makes me sad to see those closest to me leave, but i am hoping they will find their way back home. we all say that it's not goodbye, it's see you later. but how much of that is true? a semester goes by, we meet different people and experience new things. do we lose touch with the old friends we leave behind? i like to say that nothing will change and everything will be the same. but i've experience enough to know that isn't true. in the past 17 years of my life, i've met some of the greatest friends i've ever known and also lost some of the best people in life. to see that i've lost touch with the closest people to me at one point in my life, whom i've shared all my secrets with scares me. it makes me think that nothing is ever safe. but then i also met people who were complete opposites of me and who i never thought could be someone i could trust. it's really amazing when two strangers become the best of friends, but it's really sad when the best of friends become two strangers.

don't walk to me, baby, run

so its exactly two weeks until i start class! gahhh! i don't know whether to be stoked or sad? but i'm definitely ready to jump in and meet new people; change it up you know? :) i still have so much stuff to do before the semester starts, like getting my parking permit, paying my term bill, getting my schedule!!!!(which i have been waiting for forever), finding out what my work-study jobb is. yeahhhh crazy how much i still have to do in 14 days.

i wish i was dormingggg, just cause everyones finding out who their roomies are and everything :\ and the whole moving in and dorm shopping. yeah :[ booo haha but i'll live.

okayy with that all said, goodnight.

the song remains the same

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.

27 days left until summer is gone. 27 days left until reality kicks in. 27 days left until college starts. before you know it, it's gonna go by just like that. it's kind of crazy how fast every day is going by. it doesn't matter if you slow down because life keeps going, time keeps running. you just have to keep up with it.
