i should be studying. i really, really should. it's nearly one! i don't know what i'm thinking...i suppose since i'm still awake i'll study after this. but do you know how hard it is to study when it is for your LAST exam of your undergraduate career? it's freaking hard.
so instead of studying i have been contemplating how much boone, north carolina and appalachian state university have meant to me these past four years. methinks it a little cheesy, but nonetheless here goes:
1. i have made some of the most amazing friends EVAR. an obvious choice for number one, yes. but i don't think you understand, these people are awesome. and i know i would only find more like them if i were to stay here. people have come and gone, friendships have wavered, but in the end i am happy to have connected with all of these people. i am not the most outgoing person around. i do not make new friends easily, it's just not a skill i possess. in fact, if you asked me i would tell you, "i have enough great friends. that's why i don't bother with being outgoing". this is, in fact, a lie. it's just not a trait i have picked up in my (nearly) 22 years. maybe one day... thus, these friends are all the more special to me, and i desperately hope to keep in touch with everyone of them (again, not my specialty, unfortunately).
2. i have learned A LOT. i have been blessed with an amazing education throughout my life. seriously, it started in kindergarten and pretty much never waned. i have had teachers most people would beg to learn from and i have taken courses that seem unreal. i chose a major that i think is really important. while i don't know that it will get me very far without going to graduate school, i'm still mostly glad i picked it. yes, i'm sick of all the hippie theory bullshit, but it's still a program i see as very relevant today, and hopefully less and less people will ask "what the heck is that?" when i tell them i got a degree in sustainable development.
list to be continued...
