Hopefully I keep the aphorisms to a minimum
I remember all those thoughts of what post-graduation life would be like. Now, we are living it, and I can say, I miss everything about high school - already. Looking through the yearbook is already depressing. After attending orientation at UOP, I felt almost depressed how it will truly "never be the same." It won't. Friends that I have made, can never be replaced. I know that's too early to say, but the uniqueness of all these people can never be matched. As the wall in the library at EV says: "Like the butterfly, I will emerge from my cocoon.. Transformed." It is so true.
"I'm going to tell you right now Ryan, that period of ugliness was significant and vital to the development of our bond, because the best of friends are made from fights and arguments; they bring friends closer together," as Jason told me. This is applicable to experiences in life as well. Difficult times can only make you stronger- like developing callous hands from playing too much tennis- I must always remember this.
I know college will be very different and very arduous, but this is the destiny I have chosen. It will never control me, I will always control it- no matter how insane I my become. In the end, I know it will pay off. Again, referring to the quote, the best of people come from many many many many trials and turbulations, they bleed, sweat, and work damn hard. However, live life, love it, appreciate it. Always be in control, because as soon as you let go, you are blind.
I enjoy life right now. Summer is the best. I have been able to do soo many things that I haven't been able to do before. Mainly, hang out with friends. I went to the movies probably 5 times already this summer, surpassing my total amount from freshmen to junior year by 3. Parties were extremely fun. I try to enjoy it to the fullest. I love my friends. I really appreciate being able to drive. I remember the times throughout junior year when I so desperately wanted to drive, because I had my license. But nope. I had to wait until mid-late senior year. But it made everything I did at the end of senior that much better. It is a recurring theme in my life of how we all must go through a period of difficulty to enjoy all the fruits of our labor has to offer. Does it taste good? You betcha
College, I'm ready. Bring it on.
