“Other things may change us, but we start and end with family”

Today marks the last day of my freshman year.

Its a difficult thing to watch some of your friends leave and go back to their previous lives, or to be the individual leaving others. I grew with these people. We learned lessons together. Even now as i type Im watching a dear friend scrub and vacuum away he dirt remnants of a no longer existent friendship. At the end of the day this room will be empty, like we had never been here to begin with.

Over the course of this year, we have spent most of our daily lives together, and to have that all change, over the course of one day, is heartbreaking. I feel that summer may be a challenging thing for all of us, however I hope that we pick up where we left off when we return in the fall. For those of you not returning to Turlington the following year, my best goes out to you. May you be successful in all your endevours. Each of you will always have a special place in my heart. To those of you returning, I must say, that I cannot wait. This is my second family. This is my second home. I cant wait to return in the fall.
