Today I officially ended my freshman year of college. Wow. That is so weird to write. I walked out of my last final today into the sun and took this huge sigh of relief. Now I have to pack my life away into boxes and move back home for the summer. It feels good though. I’m ready for a break ( Read more... )

This probably won’t make sense to anyone but me…I kind of like it that way though ( Read more... )

I had such a long, good talk with Ellie tonight and she made me cry and she was crying. There are so many incredible high school memories that I will never forget, so many experiences and people and feelings that will stay with me forever.

Two of my favorite actors were in the movie, Ryan Gosling from The Notebook and Jena Malone. The movie was so beautiful and so tragic at the same time and in the end I was ( Read more... )

Ellie came to Redlands on Wednesday and hung out in the dorms with my friends and me. It was so great to see her and catch up and reminisce on so many old memories. It was strange having her at my school with all my Redlands friends, like I was mixing worlds in a way. Part of the situation felt completely natural, as though Ellie had gone to my ( Read more... )

In far northern California, almost on the border of Oregon, lie the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. They are so white, it almost hurts your eyes to look at them, all that foam and white sand and fog. I’m sure walking on them might not even feel real, almost like floating in a dream world, everything so still and cold ( Read more... )
