Just Keep Swimming

I've been a lot happier this summer than I've been for a long time. I'm not sure what I can attribute it to. I can think of a few things, but only a few that I'm actually going to mention on my blog.

1. Friends - This last semester of college made me remember how much I love my friends. But not just friends in general. I've realized that there are a few people that are always going to be there for me. There are some friends from high school that I'll still see on occasion, but there are two or three friends that I will always be able to turn to when I need them. And that means a lot to me.

Okay so only one that I'm going to write about.

College has taught me a lot. And I wouldn't trade this past year for anything. There were a few times when I was sure that I was going to throw in the towel, but I never did. And I'm stronger because I never did. I learned to be a lot more independent; yet, I also learned that I have to rely on other people sometimes. Going it alone just doesn't cut it, and it's not enjoyable.

I learned other qualities about myself too. Maybe I'll write about them in another post, maybe not. But college has really been an important step in my life. I'm learning and growing far more than I ever did in high school. High school taught me the lessons that it was meant to teach me, but now I'm moving on to bigger and better lessons and experiences.
