SO LONG SWEET SUMMER

SO LONG SWEET SUMMER.
i stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays



if last summer was the summer of discovery, this summer was the summer of growing up.

this was the summer i graduated from high school and the summer before college. i wanted to make it one of the best summers i've ever had. and i succeeded.

i've made so much memories this summer. from june to august, hardly a day went by that i wasn't having the most amazing times and conversations with some of the most amazing people i know. i've had a summer of new experiences and new friends. i've let myself go a little bit, becoming more free and more open-minded. i've learned to accept myself and become a better person all around.

i've going to start san diego state tomorrow and even though i may not like and certainly would not have chosen it if things were perfect, i'm going to stay driven and passionate, even if it means spending more time on schoolwork than i'm used to and limiting social life. i'm going to prove everyone wrong and prove that one is capable of doing anything one puts their mind to.

i'm going to let go of my dreams of ucsd. i'm going to forget that i ever wanted to go there and that once upon a time, that was my college. i'm not going to let something i can't change take over my life which is why i have to let go of this dream.

i spent the last day of my summer reminiscing and in the company of a good friend, talking about life and hope and every little thing in between.

these four years are going to be difficult and stressful but i'll think about the good times to come and all the amazing experiences waiting to happen. it's time to start a new album in my soundtrack of life. and i know it's going to be the most spectacular yet.

(so long sweet slumber)
i fell into you, now you're gracefully falling away
