The End of an Era

Well I never wrote in this faithfully after the college writing course that this blog was created for, but it time to say goodbye. I did finally graduate after dropping out for a semester and then finishing up after my 9th semester (it's complicated) and I'm no longer in Christian school. Here are some closing thoughts.

  • The solid friends I made that first week of school are still my friends, for which I am forever grateful.
  • I never got the guy that I was crazy about from the summer after freshman year on, and I'm still trying to be ok with that. We don't talk anymore and I miss him often, but self care is always more important than the opinions of others.
  • My only regret in college is that I didn't take more pictures at graduation, and that's pretty great. 
  • Even though I'm surrounded by people who tell me that I'm too fat to be pretty, I was on homecoming court. 
  • I owe my professors and some of the staff at Eastern more than I can ever repay them for the life I have now. 
  • Don't be afraid to shave your head, it grows back.
  • Do something to be proud of. 
  • Don't be afraid to talk to someone who's different from you. They might just safe your relationship with Christ and become your best friend. 
  • If you're the kind of person that takes a lot of photos, put the camera down, and enjoy the moment.
  • It's never ok to hate someone because they're different from you.
  • Write things down, you'll thank yourself later.
