college has been a trip, to say the least, and as it draws to a close, something resonates with me in a way previously so unfamiliar — “in the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia”. and though i look back on my four years with rose-tinted spectacles, i am fully grounded in the reality of this chapter of my life.
like the little scar on my knee has taught me to be careful when I’m running, others on my heart will teach me to be kind. some days were long, some nights were hard, and that golden hour during which the sunset is gazed upon so lovingly by so many — well, my first month here, i spent every one of them wishing i were home.
but as may 2017 is no longer an enigma in the distant future, there is nothing of which I am more certain: the years flew by. it’s a cliché, but one you’ll have to forgive me for using, because I know this isn’t goodbye. i’ll be back someday. so there may never be a right time and you may never be entirely ready. but that’s exactly it.
that means every moment is also the right moment to do whatever it is you’ve been waiting for. don’t wait like I did. start enjoying it all before you look back and realize, man, those were short years.
