Time Flies

These aren't supposed to be used as "diary posts" but it seriously amazes me to think that I am wrapping up my junior year of college. The expression "time flies when you're having fun" is one of the most accurate quotes I can use to describe my past three years in college. Although there were absolutely points throughout each semester where I wanted to rip my eyes out and drop out of school school completely, I will never forget how much fun I had and the memories I have created. When I first came to college I thought I had most of my four years already planned out; I was going to major in education and math, play lacrosse, get good grades, and get involved. Although this is almost exactly what I have done, I could have never predicted how much it would impact my life.

I came to college having no intention of joining a sorority, because I was going to be playing lacrosse and my team was going to be like my own little sorority. For two years this held true. However, I lived with a girl who was in Delta Phi Epsilon, and each year I realized I wanted to be a part of it more and more. When I finally joined my first semester junior year, I seriously had no idea how much of an impact it would have on me. The friends I've made and the person I have become has amazed even me.

As this semester comes to an end, I'm ending a chapter sooner than I had anticipated. No, I am not graduating college, but things will be different next semester. For the first time I am living off campus and have decided to commute from home. My roommate, who has grown to be my best friend and my sister will not be there every night to talk to. It sounds like something small, but you truly don't realize how much you appreciate something until it's gone. My roommate and I will absolutely keep in touch and still see each other, but nothing can compare to the past 3 years I've lived with her. It is crazy to think that next year I will be starting my senior year of college. Time has absolutely flown by, but when I stop and look back, I am extremely happy and proud of everything I've done.
