10 Days

Wow.. graduation is 10 days away. Well.. it'll be 10 days by the time anyone reads this. Currently I'm still considering this Tuesday night (2:13 a.m.) but it's because I'm pulling an all-nighter. It's weird. I want to be awake a lot these next couple of weeks and I will be so tired.. I know. But you can sleep when you're old. Well probably not, because then you have kids to tend to, but sleep is nothing fun.
Don't get me wrong.. I love sleep more than pretty much anyone. I will forgo almost anything to nap, go to bed early, or sleep late...but lately, I don't want to waste my time with sleep. I want to be awake and enjoy all of the people around me. These people who have made tremendous impacts on my life. I don't think any of them read this.. or rather, no one reads this, but that's ok. I want these feelings documented for when I look back years from now. When I am no longer a "twenty-something." This place. This town. This school. These people. These memories. Unforgettable. These past 4 years have been amazing. Sometimes hard, of course, and sad, and lonely even, but more often than not (actually like 98% of the time honestly) things have been easy (being a 18-21 year old) and fun and enjoyable and warm with tons of people around to enjoy life with.
I have lived so many experiences and who I am today would be unrecognizable to the 17 year old I was 4 years ago, just about to graduate high school. I love who I am today. I am not saying that in a egotistical way at all... but I love who I have become because of this place and these people. Made me this person I am proud to me.
