Hey

I was always here. I am still here. I will be here forever.

If you were wondering, I mean.

I feel as if winter break will pass by like nothing. What will it take to just cling onto highschool, the bittersweet memories and the seemingly blissful ignorance? I doubt that college life will disappoint, but I know I can't absorb and adapt to all these changes peacefully. It's going to take a lot of work, a lot of patience, and a lot of encouragement.

That's a part of the reason I want to stay close to home. That really does eliminate many of the options (to my disadvantage), but the thought of driving 10 hours just to see my family really upsets me. And I know time flies, but to me four years in college seems way too long. Another thing is the new environment and new friends. I love meeting new people, I really do. But I hate the thought of being away from my friends here.

Oh well. I'll try my best.

Now it's in your hands.
