It is funny to me how much things change in a year. I came to college with dreams and ideas of how things would be. Yet a year later I see that things were really nothing like I thought they would be. Things changed so much from where I was as a scared timid little freshman getting dropped off in the dorm for the first time. I thought my life would be one way, that I would do certain things, be friends with certain people. Yet in reality most of those things didn't happen. I am not friends with the people I thought I would be, I didn't do most of the things I thought I would do, and I didn't expect to struggle with the things that I did.
I am so grateful for the experiences I have had this year. Yes, they sometimes sucked and I shed my fair share of tears. I spent my fair share of sleepless nights crying out to God but I wouldn't be where I am now without them. This year has impacted my life in so many way. I have learned that things are temporary and you really don't have control of life. Things change and you can't stop them.
God puts people in your life at just the right time, I am living proof that he does. Whenever you are beaten down and you think that you can't go on he sends someone to pick you up send you on your way again. He sends you friends to go through life with you, yes it is hard to see them go at times, but just as people go new ones come.
I struggled with feeling accepted and needed for so long. God sent me friends that make me feel appreciated. Friends that make me love life, that I know have my back. It is hard to say goodbye but I know that God has a plan.
