Finale

"December 24, 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time,
Can't believe a year went by so fast...
Time to see,
What we have time to see!
Turn the projector on!"

RENT of course. From the finale.

Fitting, because it is the finale of my freshman year of college.

WHERE THE HELL DID IT GO?! Didn't I just get here? Time goes SO fast. Especially because I did a fairly decent job of wishing it all away in the end part of first semester. Never, Ever wish away time. Because no matter how hard you try, you'll never get it back.

Someone told me that years go faster as you get older because each year is a smaller fraction of your life. I don't know if it's that or something else, but I can vouch for the fact that everything is so fleeting.

I'm going to be a sophomore. Wasn't it like a week ago that I was crying every night, freaking out about where I was going, how I was going to be there, what was going to happen next?

I still can't answer any of those questions. But I guess I'm not as worried about it anymore. It's hard to be worried when I just finished finals and I have three clear months ahead of me to just enjoy my friends and my home.

No, this year wasn't at ALL what I expected. But I wouldn't change anything. Even the stuff that sucked will make a good memory someday. And the stuff that was great was really really great.

So long freshman year! Summer, do your worst. I'll be back in Boston in the fall <3

I knew a pic had to exist of this. Still thinking of you kiddo.
