Lasts

It's funny that springtime, my most favorite time of the year, is not only a season of happiness and renewal, but for a lot of people like me, it is a season of saying goodbye and of ending memories.

Today I had my last final! Woo hoo. Obviously it's not my last final ever, but I wont have to worry about another one until December. Ahhh, how good that feels.

Tonight is my last night in my bed in this apartment. A few months ago my roommates and I were ecstatic to find out we were getting new mattresses. The moving guys came and replaced our old ones with what feels like a twin-sized brick. I survived it with no back problems, and am rather happy to be saying goodbye to my "prison bed" as we like to call it.

I am no longer a sophomore in college. I'm a junior. From what I hear, this is supposed to be a good thing. It's a lot different than high school, though. Being a Junior in High School felt so powerful. Now I just feel old and like I'm hanging by a thread. 2 more years, I can do it! I have to tell myself that.

I've said goodbye to friends and neighbors. I'll probably see most of them again, but it is always different than before.

So many more "lasts" I could mention. But, sitting here looking at my empty room reminds me that all of my stuff is headed somewhere new. I'll get to start all over again with Hello's and firsts.
