At this point in the semester, it’s hard to think about anything besides laying on a beach this summer without a worry in the world. We’re all dreaming of being care-free and tan instead of pale and stressed out staying in the library for hours on end. But, since we can’t get to the beach, Sanford Mall on a 70-degree day is pretty great too.
As easy as it is to rush this year to an end, pack it all up and head home for some much-needed bubble baths and home cooked meals, honestly it all becomes pretty bittersweet when you think about leaving friends behind who live across the state, maybe even the country. It’s weird to think that in just a little over a month my freshman year will be over and I won’t be able to just walk out my dorm and see my best friends anymore, and no more “McAlister Monday” dates.
Now, don’t get me wrong I’m as excited for summer as the guy who already isn’t wearing shoes to class, but it’s important to sit back and enjoy every moment before the school year ends, because before we know it we’ll be graduating and really leaving our friends for good to go out and conquer the real world. So take a break from studying and go enjoy some time with them before we pack up our perfectly decorated dorms and head home for a few months.
