i can’t believe after such a crazy semester, its finally time to come home. these past few weeks have been a whirlwind of fun and memories. i kept pinching myself and thinking “it doesn’t get better than this”. last night, a few of us were playing games and listening to iron and wine and the lumineers and it was one of those moments you stop and just can’t help but to feel so content and blessed. these people have become like my family and with every goodbye, my heart breaks a little. thank God quite a few of us are coming back (including my awesome roommate) but its weird to think we won’t be a group again. we’ve all grown so much as people over the semester and it will be awesome to see where we are all at the next time we reunite. that being said, i’m so excited to come home! i’ve always loved home but the more i’m away, the more i appreciate it. coming home so soon before christmas, my favorite holiday, is just the icing on the cake. now i just have to conquer the 12 plus hour flight and i’ll be home free… literally
