With my junior year of college about to begin, my girlfriends and I finally are getting our own home. When I moved in, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with emotions. When we were freshmen, we had a new start. Life was exciting and new but now, with a new home to make memories, we start anew again.
I see our new kitchen and I think about all the wonder that will come out of it. The new foods, the laughter that will come from giggles between friends and all the meals that will go down as some of the best of times. I think about the living room and all the mid day naps, and board game names or pregame dance parties that will come alive in that little room.
The living room is where we will cuddle and watch the bachelor or where we will cry over boys and be there on the couch to comfort each other. Or I think about the porch and what great times and great beers will be there.
The bedroom I'll study in, silently cry over my homesickness or even just wrap myself up in blankets and watch "Grease" in my pajamas.
There's so much I can't wait for and that house is the key that holds all these new memories. I can't wait to look back on my years in this house and remember all the wonderful moments it holds and think how great it was living in a house with my four best friends. So, here's to new memories with old friends and how wonderful and sweet this life will be.
