Last words

This blog can’t possibly describe how ready and excited to have almost completed my sophomore year.  Since this is my last blog, I have decided to make it fun.

 This year has definitely been one of a kind.  While it has had plenty of obstacles and struggles, it’s also had its fair share of life lessons and wonderful memories.  In all honesty however, sophomore year has been my worst year with stress.  Despite this though, I've learned so much about myself during this year and I will list these things below:

1.       I’ve learned that there will be many incidents that test your relationships with others.

2.       The person who you never imagined would change does. 

3.       No matter what a person does, they’ll always be one of your most treasured friends. 

4.       There are only a few people who you can actually depend on.

5.       Responsibility and managing your time wisely is a must in order to stay on top of things.

6.       No matter how hard and strict your teachers are, they really do want the best for you. (Some of them)

7.       Having your mom teach a floor below you is actually quite fun and enjoyable.

8.       I’ve been able to overcome every paper, math test, chemistry test, history test, etc.

9.       Deadline writing is not very easy.

10.   Your weekends are literally what get you through the week. 

As I sit here writing this blog on my deck soaking up the sun, it makes my want for summer even greater.  I can’t wait to spend every day with my family, Sam and his family, my friends, and my animals. I can’t wait to be down at the lake riding the jet-ski and wake skating.  I can’t wait to train Layla, my puppy, and make her the best dog possible.  I can’t wait for our annual beach trips and so many more trips.  There is one negative thing about sophomore year ending and that’s the fact that I’m growing up.  Soon, my friends and I will be graduating high school, which is such an unreal feeling.  We’ll be off to college and then facing the world on our own.   As much as I want to finish sophomore year, a part of me would like to freeze time and absorb every little detail about my life.  I love thinking about the future, but it’s scary at the same time.  I guess that’s life though- Yes, you don’t know your future, but God does.  He will never give you too much to handle and He’ll always be your backbone through everything that comes your way.  THAT is the most important thing that I have learned during my sophomore year.  

Forever

Forever

Definition: For all future time; for always. 

Is there really such thing as forever?  Is it nonsense to think that you and another person may last forever?  Or, is it scary to think that you may or may not have a, forever, with someone? 

When I think of forever, I think of spending the rest of my life with one particular person.  Many people say nothing lasts forever and many people think it’s ridiculous to believe that two people may actually have a forever, but to me, it’s a feeling of comfort.  I love thinking about the future when I’ll have my family, my home, and my animals.  It brings me joy and gives me a goal to work towards. 

With my forever has to come a person and in my life it would be my boyfriend, Sam.  With Sam, anything is possible and forever doesn't seem as difficult as people make it out to be. We're practically the same person, except for the fact that he is a boy and I'm a girl.   I wouldn't mind spending everyday with him because it would mean spending everyday with my best friend.  When I think about my future, he’s always in it.  A lot of people would probably say things like, “You two are way too young to think of a future together,” or things of that nature, but to us, it would be abnormal to picture a future without the other.  I see us growing up and growing old together; him being a major league baseball player and me having my own television show.  I see us living a happy life filled with things that bring us bliss, like cats.  I see us cooking together every night and finishing off the meal with a batch of brownies cut into fourths.  I see us watching Nicholas Sparks movies or re-watching our annual Thursday night Glee episode and catching up on a Braves game. I see us having a movie night with his family and watching, "Rain Man," for the first time.  I see us making our own forever and I couldn't have it any other way.  Spending time with him is easy.  There are no lies or secrets.  Simply being with the other is enough for the both of us.  Whether we have a fun filled day or a day where we watch movies, it’s always perfect.  My definition of forever is a life filled with my best friend, my confidant, and my other half- Sam.
