Lessons in life
It's 8:30am and I'm sitting here thinking deep thoughts. Maybe it's too early... but I'm inspired by whatever reason, so I'm gonna write.
Graduation from college. It marks the end of a chapter of my life. Looking back over the past four years of my life, i wouldn't have them any other way. And it's those extracurricular lessons that I think are a million times more important than anything else...
Lessons I have learned:
Freshman Year:
--It's hard to get over a person who you really did love
--Jungle juice can (and will) knock you on your ass
--I like beer? (thank you Nick Ford)
--Sometimes, Easter is more fun to spend sitting on the floor of your dorm room eating motzoh and drinking Manischewitz ;)
--True friends are those who listen to you when you're completely wasted and help you out of the dryer when you fall in
Sophomore Year:
--When my parents got divorced, i found family at school, namely in the sisters of TBS
--There are people in this world that believe in you. Even if it isn't your family...
--Life is precious. Don't live a day with regrets, for you never know when your time will end...
--Freedom always will need to be defended. and we must always rise to the occasion.
--Codeine does NOT mix well with alcohol...
--K-Fun... let the K-funtimes begin
--Maybe the whole dating thing wasn't for me. been too long.
Junior Year:
--TBS alumni are crazy and I love them and my old DHB's
--APO... serving others and helping is what this world needs more of. Love, Care, Serve... in Leadership, Friendship, and Service.
--Sometimes Easter isn't more fun to spend on the couch of your friend's apartment...
--HPD is a fun place to hang out.
--Airsoft and camping... and learning to 4wheel
--I learned to eat meat. BACON!!
Senior Year...
-Nights i can't remember, with friends i'll never forget
--Freedom always will need to be defended. and we must always rise to the occasion... that is, it must be within reason.
--HPD is a fun place to... work
--Ireland's too expensive. ($8 USD/pint is not conducive to my drinking habits.)
--Sometimes it's the simple things that you need to be happy. Those nights at skyline drive, reddish knobb, the quarry... enjoy nature in all of it's beauty.
--Silence can speak volumes...
and last but not least:
I have a home. It's here. In all of it's beauty, all of it's splendor... and I could not ask for more.
