It's finally summer!! I honestly didn't think that this day would ever come. Because my school is on a quarter system, I don't get out until June 12th. All of my friends from back home got out of school in May while I was suffering during midterm season and studying for finals. Even though I'm ready for school to be over, I don't want to leave.

I have made some of my best memories during this past year. As much as I love my parents and my friends from back home, I seriously cannot wrap my head around the idea that I won't see the people that I've grown to love the most for three months. Literally the people that I've met in college are some of the greatest people that I've ever met. It's kind of crazy to think about the fact that I've only known these people for about nine months, and yet, I know that they are going to be in my life forever.

The only reason why I'm super stoked for the summer is because my family and I are going to Spain for three weeks. I know that that is going to be a blast and I can't wait to spend some time in Europe. I'm also glad that I'm going to Spain because it will serve as a distraction from the fact that I'm away from all of my friends.

I'm afraid that if I have moments to myself or times when I'm bored, I will let my sadness take over me and I won't be able to think about anything else besides missing my friends and school. Nevertheless, I am so so grateful for my first year of college and the people that I have met.

Even though we will be separated for three months, I know that as soon as we get back, it will be like no time has passed at all. Freshman year, you will be missed. See you in the fall, SCU!
