Looking forward…AND backwards.

Good morning all. Now I know I’m going to sound like a broken record, but it’s seriously mind-blowing how fast time moves when you’re at college. In less than a month, we’ll be starting finals, and then after finals this year is done. I mean, that’s 1/4 of my college experience basically done. And truthfully I don’t know what to think or how to feel about it. You see, when I was in high school, all I wanted to do was get out and do new things, meet new people, be my own person, just get out of the whole idea of high school. And now that I’m here at BU, I just want to stay. It’s so weird: you’d think I want to head home, spend the summer near my old friends. Part of me does and part of me really wants to stay in Peoria or near the Chicago area, since so many of my friends are now from there. The kinds of relationships I’ve started with people here, it’s just crazy. I’ve never been able to get so close with so many different people. Maybe it’s because we live here together, maybe it’s because the really understand my situation, maybe it’s because they truly care. Whatever it is, it’s what makes me call Bradley University my very real home away from home. Have a good Tuesday, folks.
