One Ticket to Life, Please

So this is going to be one of those really tedious long posts so I’m going to warn you beforehand. I have just randomly decided to make a photo blog of my four years of college. Not everything will be in order though I’m gonna try really hard- I just can’t remember everything! But it’s going to be a long LONG photo blog, and if you’re not interested in my life I would recommend not looking through this. 

For a few moments when I first started gathering the pictures, I tried to avoid any pictures with me and exes, but I began to realize that was pretty impossible. They were a HUGE part of my life but I feel the need to put a disclaimer here. Just because a picture of one of my exes are here, and I may be nice about it in my caption, does not mean I’m harboring feelings for them still. It’s annoying I have to make that clear, but I know some of them will take this the wrong way. It’s just a memory.

JUNIOR YEAR

There are unfortunately hardly any pictures from my fall semester in Junior Year because this was when I hardly left my room. I’m not gonna sit here regretting it (though that’s exactly what I’m doing) and let’s pretend that this semester I didn’t have any pictures because I was too busy having a fantastic time.

The greatest picture we ever took

SENIOR YEAR (bear with me here, this is gonna be long)

I just want to say something about senior year really quick. I didn’t expect it to happen to me the way it did. I expected to be miserable, lonely, all around not a fun time. Senior year, in a word, surprised me. I didn’t really realize it until I started going through these pictures, but I’m extremely grateful I got to do all of this stuff before it was too late ALSO, THESE ARE NO WHERE NEAR CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER SO IF YOU’RE CONFUSED, IT’S OK ‘CAUSE SO AM I.

AOB Spring Formal

I’ll probably edit this with pictures from Family Dinner and Graduation, but for now, this has been my college life up until this very week. I’m really glad I did this because it gave me the chance to remember a LOT of stuff that I guess I just forgot. College wasn’t such a bust as I give it credit for, and I actually made some of the greatest friends I’ve ever had and will ever have. And I’ve changed…so drastically…from freshmen year to senior year. Maybe you can’t see it in the pictures, but I definitely can. 

I’m getting kinda gushy now. I’ll stop.
