Here's to the nights we felt alive.

Today, I finished my last day of my first year of college.


This school year started out in September, and the first few days we moved in were meant to be getting used to dorm life and checking out campus. I spent those days meeting people and talking. One of the kids I meet, I no longer remember who said "College doesn't feel real yet, this feels like summer camp." Everyone agreed, but it was college. We all created our own groups, had drama, partied too hard, and stressed over classes. I really don't know when it happened, but I became a college student. We all did.

Now it's June and everything I brought is back in boxes, and my room is beginning to look like just a room again. It doesn't feel like anythings changed; I don't really feel that I've changed. I know I have. Well...I must have, right?

Today, I finished my first year of college; but I feel still can't shake the feeling that this was just summer camp.
