Summer 2016: You are one for the books. I will never forget the memories we shared, the laughs we had and the times that will never be forgotten.
I will be honest, finding time with friends was a bit hard to come by. Between everyone's work schedules and other activities, we did not get together as much as I wish, BUT despite not seeing each other as much, the time we did have together will never be forgotten. You all make me laugh until it hurts and forget my worries for a bit. I am glad we all had the opportunity to hang out and have some fun before we all go back to school.
Time by myself this summer was also a bit hard to come by — between my internship, job and social life. I enjoyed having breakfast in bed as well as going to yoga class. These two activities were me time. I probably would have went insane without them. I could just enjoy myself and relax during these activities. It was the best thing ever. Looking back at it, I will definitely be glad for the quality time I spent with myself this summer — trying to figure out who I am one step at a time.
The adventures summer brought me were amazing. I have been overcome with happiness throughout this whole summer. It is unreal. I saw a team USA soccer game, went to my first beef festival, hiked to the top of the Appalachian trail, and took on Musikfest like a champ. I enjoyed every second of these adventures. Yes, I may not have traveled to some other country or done anything out-of-this-world crazy, but I had a beautiful summer full of amazing adventures I will remember forever. The people who accompanied me on these journeys made them all the more awesome.
Summer 2016, I am not ready to see you go, but I can say you have fulfilled me in many ways. I am so blessed for all of them. I am ready to take on the Fall with a positive outlook and sense of happiness all because of this summer.
Seasons will come and go, but memories last a lifetime.
