summer.

so this school year is practically up.

how weird is that? how did that happen already?

i can't believe i have finished one year of grad school and without any gray hairs.

so about this summer thing...

it's almost here, i can feel it in my bones.

one thing that i ironically love most about summer is the realization that we are all getting older.

i know that seems crazy to enjoy, but at the same time we should embrace it.

we should not dwell on the past, but enjoy the now and prepare for the future and all the amazing things that will come with it.

summer seems like it is also a time for rediscovery...remembering things that we have forgotten, finding old music from freshman year that used to be on loop constantly, planning for the future, making fun trips to see friends and road trips with friends, laying out by the pool, making new memories and appreciating the old, and most importantly taking a step out of the lime light and rediscovering yourself.

summer is a vacation and that is why it is ironic. a vacation from life? that never happens, cause life always happens.
