Summer brings many things. Graduation, new jobs, love, loss, and new found friends.
I've debated whether or not to write this post several times over the past few days because I don't want this blog to involve my own personal issues, but so many times I have been persuaded to keep a journal or to write down my feelings and this post will be therapeutic for me.
The best way to appreciate something is to be without it for a while.
This past semester has not been the easiest for me. While Disney has been a boon for me, you could say that the rest of my semester has been a craps game. Unfortunately I wasn't able to graduate from college in time and therefore missed walking the stage with the rest of my class. I'm certainly not going to bore you all with details so the short of it is after months of being unhappy, I can finally say that I'm on my way towards becoming back to normal. Or at least something next to normal. To be honest, I haven't seen normal upwards of 4 years. So in summary, after boy drama, grades, and health issues I am finally able to let all my anxieties and stress go in preparation for my trip down to Orlando.
I've got my summer job to thank for helping me through this entire process. In a past post, I think I may have detailed my job at VSA (Vanderbilt Summer Academy) Well, I came back this year and let me tell you...IT WAS 100X BETTER. The entire ResLife Staff was so welcoming and understanding of all of my troubles. It was surreal to be surrounding by such funny, witty, happy human beings that it kinda wore off on me. Tbh: it wore off on me a lot. For the first time in forever (yup, I went there) I didn't stay up all night wondering 'what if'. I don't think that this group of people will ever fully grasp what they have done for me this summer. I am eternally grateful.
On a MUCH lighter note,
Here's a bit of what I have been doing this summer in picture form!
Needless to say, I've been having the time of my life and within a few days I'll be traveling down to the most magical place on earth! A post about housing and the entire DORMS process will be posted before the week is up!
I guess I should go back to packing now. Le sigh.
