The Lucky Ones

Today is going to be a good day. I can tell. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I don’t have to be anywhere for another 5 hours, and that’s a relief, but today just feels good. It also feels like one of those days that nothing is going to get accomplished in. I’ve had a lot of those lately…mostly involving my best friends and obscene amounts of alcohol. But I’ve also had some of the best days of the semester in the past few weeks.

With the end of the semester seeming to dance before me, taunting me with the many things that it brings, I can’t help but be wary of this new beginning, and I can’t help but think that this is the end of something. I want May to be a beginning, but I just don’t want it to be the end. And yet with the pending approach of the last day of school (44 days in all), I feel excited for an ending.

It’s not an ending though!! I’ll be gone for just under two years…the length of time I’ve known these crazy people I call my best friends. I know I’m being redundant. And I know even more that I’m stating conflicting thoughts. The only thing I can comfort myself in is that Life is happening, whether I want it to or not. It’s going to keep on rolling, and I just have to hang on and make the most of it.

I have to love the challenges life throws at me, and I have to create challenges for myself. Part of that includes blogging a little more. There’s something about a paper to pen that I crave–that I love–but if I can get my thoughts out quicker on a computer, then that’s the really important thing. So here’s to the challenges of life–here’s to life kicking me in the ass, and here’s to the friends that will always be there to help me up.
