Life…

As graduation draws near,  I can’t help but think back to… my whole life. So many different memories come and go, and I have basically narrowed it down to one thought: the best four years of my life are about to be over. Even with all the studying and stress and emotional problems, college really has been the best time of my life. Sure, I quite possibly could have an even better time in the next four years of my life, but let’s be real… Probably not.

And now, I have one week left. One week left to spend with friends who have made life so great, even as we scramble to finish up the last college finals. So many things I want to do, so many people I want to see, so many others with whom I wish I had spent more time. Reconnecting with old friends.

And, as always, wishing I could go back and do it all over again. But such is life… By the time I feel like I know exactly how to live the best life, I’ll be on my deathbed.

Having an unexpectedly deep conversation with a friend at such an odd time of the day just sparked my brain… Now I can’t sleep…

Despite the countless grammar mistakes and the simple language, The Hunger Games Trilogy has left room for much thought. Reading these books have taken me back to those middle school years, when I could afford to spend ample amounts of time reading for the pure pleasure of reading. Like the young adult novels that seemed so trivial and thin on content on the surface but full of hidden wisdom, this trilogy directs my thoughts in a deep and pensive direction tonight.

It’s been a long time since a book has moved me to tears and consumed my thoughts and imagination… Only three months left to enjoy such simple pleasures.
