"Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"

"And I always say, if it isn't Baroque, don't fix it!" - Beauty and the Beast
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING BLOG TALKS ALL ABOUT FEELLINGS.
I knew moving day would elicit a variety of feelings. Of course the most prominent feeling is one of pure FREEDOM. Yay for summer! With this feeling, I long for sunny, lazy days with lemonade and sleeping in. Oh how wonderful it will feel to have my first year over, out of old farm, and on to new adventures. Another strong feeling I feel is a mixture between melancholy and thoughtfulness. I've been packing away stuff constantly for a few weeks, and as my side of the room grew progressively more and more empty I realized it's over. My freshman year of college is over, and I will never get it, or the experiences I had back.
Yet this bittersweetness is kinda confusing. Yes, I am sad to see it end, and I will miss a lot of things, but I'm also very excited for summer, the possibility of a new job and new adventures next semester. I grew a lot as a person this past year, and even though I know I still have a lot to learn, I feel more confident and happy with myself as a person.
The thoughtfullness feeling comes when I think of what I will miss. I will miss the Keileigh-Kelsie gym appointments/nightly cereal, Wednesday dance parties, Chelsee-Kelsie movie nights and walks around logan/looking at houses. I'm also going to miss roommate park hopping and skookie nights.
I feel really ready to move when I think of what moving home means. I will get to see home-slice a lot more often, I will be able to help with the yard and such, plus free housing and food. Hopefully this summer will mean working and playing a ton, neither of which I have been able to do much of this year.
Overall though, I'm happy it's over and I will have a good 4 months of down-time before school again. Happy it's over, glad it happened.
Aloha
