a week of goodbyes.

This week has been a crazy week as far as emotions go. I have been excited for college ever since i knew for sure where i was going, but this week has hit me hard. As i started packing, i stopped to think how life was going to change and how life was going to be different. I felt sad as i started to take down posters, calendars, bulletin boards, and pictures. My room looks so empty. But as it is a reminder that this part of my life is coming to a close, it is also a reminder of a new beginning. I felt sad saying goodbye to people at my jobs, and even leaving the jobs. I will most definitely miss my home and Long Island and the people who live here and make it home. And the food..i will miss that the most : ) Yet i am excited to make new friends, make new relationships, experience a different culture and hopefully come home a new person. I truly hope college will change me for the better, that it will make me a more intelligent, wise, and sensitive person.
So while i may be saying goodbye to new york, i will always remember and cherish this part of my life.
