So, the first year of my college career is coming to a close. With only two weeks left this year is slowly ending and people are finishing up their classes and packing up their stuff. We can all look back on this year and see the long journey we've been through. All of the ups and the downs, we've all made it through and now it's time for a little bit of a break from one another. A much needed break to say the least.
We started off the year with a huge group of 20 to 30 friends. Of course this was too perfect, to say the least. This number diminished to only a few that remain close. Those 30 friends branched off and made smaller cliques and now those are stronger then ever. While we may not be friends with all still, we still have the memories of when we were all together. I do admit I wish we can go back to those days of having a huge group to fall back on but I am more than happy with the small group I'm left with at the end of the semester.
This summer will be the real test for all the relationships that have been created throughout the past year. Not only the romantic relationships, but even the friendships. Miles separate us, but we have cars, money for gas, and love for one another and no distance will stop us from hanging out. I plan on working a ton this summer and hoping to volunteer at a nearby hospital while still maintaining a relationship and friendships. How I am going to do this is the real question, but my friends completely understand what I need to do. I'm sick of being broke at school so I want to work as much as possible to save up for school next semester.
Hopefully next year will be as jammed packed with excitement as this year. I can only hope for the best!

Relationships are Made to be Broken
So judging by the title of this post, you could probably guess there has been a bit of relationship, may we say, excitement within our friends lately. While some yes is exciting, some is not even close. There have been a few relationships within the "family" throughout this year that were either re-kindled or made new. For sake of their privacy, I won't use any names of course.
The first of these relationships was two students who knew each other from high school and have been on and off for a while now. They had finally gotten back together this year and have been doing so well together and were so happy, so we though. Sadly, last night they broke it off because they just couldn't be together anymore. Little did some of us know, they had been having trouble for a while and were talking about breaking up. Honestly in my opinion, it was not worth the fighting and arguing they constantly got into. No relationship is obviously that well off if you are just arguing. There really is no happiness in that. So we'll see what happens with our friendships since they're not on the best terms and we are all friends with both of them ...
Second we can put a name on it, because it's me. I had found a boyfriend the beginning of this year. He was one of my best friends I had met at this school and we just hit it off. This is that story that won't end sadly, and is more exciting. Technically we've been together for only 3 months now, tomorrow, but its really been since first semester, so almost 5, 6 months. We've had the slightest bit of problems that were completely forgotten and couldn't be any happier than we are now. I'm thankful that I am included in the exciting part of this post ...
Next, and finally last, is these two students who also just met at the beginning of this year. One had a significant other when they did met, but finding out it wasn't the first time that person was not faithful, it was overlooked pretty much. We all thought they were happy, and she did everything she could to make him happy. Little did we know till recently happy is far from what they are. He mentally abuses her over and over again and she goes back for more. Last time there was a huge blow up we all gave him one more chance to make up for it, and so did she. Well that obviously meant nothing, he hurt her again, and she ONCE AGAIN went back with him. There is a great deal of tension now because none of us really know how to respond to them anymore ...
Well hopefully all the sad stories will work out and the excitement will continue on. Its frustrating to watch all of this happen, especially with close friends. We just have to remember it's college. There are going to be more opportunities and its how we handle those opportunities is what guides us to where we go and tell how things are going to turn out.
