Bittersweet

Well, it's official. I'm done with my first year of college. I can't believe it. It seems like yesterday I was just starting high school then moving to Edmond, and now I'm already in college and 1/4 of the way done. (Maybe more).

As I look around the dorm it kinda puts a damper on my day because I see all the bare doors where people's decorations used to be. Through the open doors I see people packing up all their stuff and saying goodbye. It's bittersweet. It's amazing to know that we've survived our first year of college, but it stinks to know that we won't all be together in the fall.

My roommate and I are checking out tomorrow afternoon. I took a shower this morning and was thinking to myself how bittersweet it was that it may be my last shower to take in the dorms. I'm not going to miss wearing flip flops to the shower, or cleaning someone else's hair off the wall, but besides those minor setbacks, the showers are half-way decent.

I think the main thing I'm going to miss is having all my friends within walking distance of me. My best friends live in the same hall, and all I have to do is walk to their room and we have a good time. This summer it isn't going to be like that. Most of my friends will be hours away, and I'll be here.

I'm anxious to see how my summer turns out. I'm working full-time on campus, so it's going to stink coming to work everyday, and not seeing all my friends. It'll be weird for me to be on campus and nobody else to be here too. But it'll make the fall well worth the wait.

So many relationships have started this year, and a few have ended, but I know it's for the better. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me the next few years, cause I definitely don't know.

Finals have gone well. I'm pretty sure I passed all my classes. Okay, I know I passed all of them, I just don't know if I passed them as well as I wanted to yet. We'll see. I still can't believe how fast this year went, and I'm hoping the next few won't go quite as fast.

So many things to think about this summer... Studying abroad, Rush, Spring Sing, Social Life, and all kinds of random junk.

It's gonna be a good summer. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Yay for making a lot of money right? Gotta save up for Vienna. :)

Well I guess that's all I have for now. Sorry for all the random thoughts :)

We're roommates and best friends.

This pretty much defines our life.

Freshman Year Say What?

I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. It seems like just yesterday I was graduating from high school, and now I'm 2 classes, and 5 finals away from being done with my freshman year of college.

What?

I remember being so nervous about starting school because I wasn't going to know anyone, and I wanted to go to college with my high school friends. I'm really glad my parents convinced me not to. Those friends have gone, and new ones have taken their place.

It's going to be crazy to not see all my friends for four months. FOUR MONTHS. My summer will be spent working full-time, babysitting, and working any other chance I get. (gotta save up for Vienna)

My goal is to save enough money to go to Vienna next summer with a group of my friends. I think it will be an amazing experience.

So I've had a lot of stuff on my mind lately. I guess all the stress has finally caught up with me this week so I've been thinking a lot. Part of it is that I don't have a plan for next semester anymore. I don't have a roommate, which scares me to death because what if I end up rooming with someone I don't like? I can't handle that.

I know God has a plan. It's SO hard to trust him when it comes to this sort of thing. But it'll be okay.

Anyways, I'm pretty sure I won't be blogging for a week or so, because finals are now going to take over my life. But here are some pictures from the last few weeks :)

Freshman Banquet! :)

I guess that's all for now. Here's the song :)

This defines my life right now.

God Is In The Little Places.

Dead week is fast approaching, although I feel like this week is dead week and next will be deader than a doornail week... I guess all the teachers decide to make everything due around the same time just to stress us college kids out. Or maybe we just love to procrastinate so it seems like we have a ton to do all at once... No I'm pretty sure its the first choice.

Anyways I have multiple projects due this week, three tests, and homework. Next week I have about the same, and the next week is Finals. Everyone knows what Finals stands for right... Well if you don't know, ask someone else. :)

Last night I had a pretty good night. I had our Wishing Well Officer meeting because it was postponed from Sunday. We hung up flyers for our event this Thursday. Then I met up with one of my best friends from high school Jamie.

Let me tell ya, I love this girl to death. She's such a great girl, and I'm so STOKED for her to be coming to OC next year. Anyways, I invited her to come to View63 (again) and this time she came. It was AMAZING. She and I were singing like nobody else was there, and I've never felt God move in me so much. He really is everywhere. Not just in big church, or chapel, or devos, or whatever. He's there with you no matter what. I don't know what I'm gonna do without View in the summer.

To be honest, I wasn't sure how my experience was at OC was going to be. In the beginning I was excited to meet new friends, a boy (gotta get that MRS degree), and have a glorious time. But once school started I wasn't sure that was going to happen. I had a few friends, but not the close ones I wanted. But this semester has changed that. I've gotten closer to SO many different people that I know I can go to no matter what. We've already been faced with some struggles, and we resolved them with a very little amount of drama (which is good when it comes to girls). I really am thankful that God has blessed me with such a great group of friends. I can't imagine what this year would have been like without them.

I guess I'm done rambling. :)
