Last night home

What does someone do on their last night home before going off to college? I finished packing. I'll spend time with my family. People have been posting on my wall. Family has been calling me and texting me. I know I have an amazing adventure ahead of me. Filled with learning and exploaring what I love to do. I'm excited to finally meet in person everyone that I've been talking to on facebook since April. But it's also really hard knowing that I'm leaving behind some of my best friends and my family that I'm so close with. I'm going to miss them. And I guess it's comforting knowing that if I ever do need to come home I can easily visit. My Mom told me I have a support system and a whole group of people behind me who believe in me. It's a good feeling. I feel blessed and honored for every opportunity that has already come my way and excited to meet those that are coming in the future.

Unfortunately, I did not get to say goodbye to everyone that I had wanted to say goodbye to this summer. But I'm glad to have met and befriended everyone that has been a part of my life these past 18 years. I have learned from you, shared memories with you, and experienced the transition from childhood to the teenage years and into young adulthood. I want to wish everybody good luck this coming year. I hope we can keep in touch as much as possible over facebook and when I come home for breaks. This isn't goodbye because life has it's funny little ways of making sure people cross paths again. Or at least I'd like to think that it does. I just have to know that everything will be okay. Everything will work out. The way it always has.
