Saying Goodbye

Often times in life we have to say goodbye to people, to places, to our old selves. We say goodbye a lot. So its taken me quite some time to get over HS, I know I know. I'm in college, I should be happy as hell that I've made it. But truth is I miss it, and a part of me always will. As graduation drew nearer I didn't want it to end. I wanted to stay in High School. It was my home. I felt safe and at home. I didn't want to go out in the real world. I didn't want to grow up. I didn't want to deal with change and not seeing people that I loved every day. But I'm ok now. I'm excited that I'm in college and I really like it.

                                                        Ode to High School

                               You were my friend....
                               You were my enemy...
                               You were my comfort zone...
                               You were the place I dreaded.
                               You were always there whether I liked it or not.
                               You were you.
                               You obviously aren't a person, you're a school.
                               You are my school though, and you always will be.
                               And I'll be your alumni.

Start of Something New

   Starting something new is always hard...or easy depending on what type of person you are. Me? My life is currently in a new stage...Been in college for about a month now wooo! And that took some getting used to.
   The transition of High School to College is an interesting one. Your life changes. You are suddenly out in the real world...kind of. You go to a university that seems like a small town where there's everything you could possibly want. It's a school and it really becomes your home more so than your high school or middle school ever did.
   It's an adventure! You want to try new things, everything you learned from High School you can finally apply to life. You have a general idea of the type of person you are or who you want to be. You know the type of friends you want or don't want.
   The thing about college I think is that you have to say goodbye to your life from before. You start a new pattern in life, new goals, and new experiences. And this brings me to the blog...I wanted to start a blog. I've always wanted to but I live a boring life so I figured that it'd be boring and I felt like no one would read it. But now, its ok if no one does. I mean I still want people to read it, but damn it regardless I am going to write a blog! And this first one may seem a little boring, but I will write better more interesting ones.
   I am who I am. I will write what I feel like in the moment, whether its a story and a poem or whatever. And I promise this blog will be revolutionary!

   And for now that is all.
