I have officially been home for 17 hours now. I can't even sleep in my own bed because my room looks like a tornado went through it. I spent all that time packing and now I have to spend even more time unpacking and organizing. Great.
This is definitely not a fun part about being a college student. The worst part is saying goodbye to friends. Whether it be for the summer, for forever, or for who knows when. I hate saying goodbye. I hate tears. I hate change. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy for those who graduated, but Roberts will not be the same. I am glad that they have come to a new beginning. The impact that these people have had on my life will last forever.
I have no regrets about this past year, and I can't say that I would want to do it over again. Mainly, because I was able to make so many new friends and have so many more new experiences that will stay with me forever. Some were good and some were not very smart. These people and the experiences I had with them helped to shape me as a person and helped me grow closer to God. If I did have to opportunity to live this past year all over again, I would do everything the same.
God gave me the opportunity to love, and I did. Probably more than I should have, but I have no regrets. I have found that regretting something makes you hurt more, so why put yourself through the heartache. Over these past few days I kept telling myself that it is not goodbye, it is only farewell for now. Or, in the words of Jason Aldean, See You When I See You.
