I finished my last final last night. I met with the guys from my group earlier to study, and true to our style, we didn't get anything done. That final owned me. But it's ok, I met some amazing people in the class, so it was worth it.
This year has gone by faster then I could have imagined, and I feel like it has been my best year so far. Each year gets better, and while that should mean next year is going to be amazing, I can't imagine not having my friends who are graduating here, Shaina especially. I'm not going to be able to walk out of my apartment in my pj's, trot to her place and watch movies late at night. There won't be anymore House, or Degrassi, of John Cusack with her, and that's very upsetting. She'll do amazing wherever she ends up though, and I wish her the best of luck. She will be one of my New York friends when I head there.
And there's Chrissy my roommate. I've lived with her for about a year and a half, and not having her around is going to be weird. Who am I going to bother when I don't want to study? Who is going to lay in the hallway with me at 3am during midterms and just talk about nothing?
And then there's Brittany S and Sarah Buono. I know they'll be around, but they've helped me so much since coming here and I feel like I won't see them as much as I would like next year. I love them both (well everyone) dearly, and next year is just going to be weird. I feel like I'm going to be starting over, and that doesn't sound like fun.
The rest of my friends are awesome too. We all may have had some issues, lots of issues, but I'm just glad we can still call ourselves friends. This year has been tough, but I've learned a lot about myself and who and what I want to be. I feel like I'm on the right track for the first time, and that kind of scares me.
If you want to know, I'm living with V next year at Fountain Park. My major (the longest one I've had since I've been here!) is still Journalism, with a focus on visual communications. I found graphic design this year, and while I love photography and am good at it, I feel like I want to keep it as a hobby. I'm going into design, like magazine design and layout. Eventually, I want to do freelance work, designing posters and cd packages for bands. Yup, that's it.
