This summer has been about realizing who my true friends are. It's been a whirlwind of love and betrayal, joy and flightiness. My world is special, and the special friends I have will never leave my side <3 God is ever-present and ever-astounding these days.

We prefer fiction to reality Are we incapable of creating our own stories? Afraid of excitement? Too weak to be a fearless heroine? Afraid of ourselves? Afraid of myself?
So yesterday was my Birthday, the Big 18! or so they say. But yeah it was really hard to be away from my family and friends (although I am of course making them here). I had to do marching band stuff from 9-5, and then I spent like 3 hours on the phone with people from home. After that I was able to have an awesome time, and everyone here was so sweet about it. My roommates went overboard in the present department, AND my marching band people bought me a cake. It was really sweet, but it was definitely still hard not seeing anybody from home. No matter how much I love it here, I still do miss Suffern. It's a great place. I miss my family and my friends....and Ms. Phelps and Mr. McCarter haha. The music teachers/conductors here just aren't the same. Don't get me wrong though, I love being a Boston College Eagle!
I got homesick today. This is so weird for me, because I never get homesick. I cried when my parents left......why? i don't know. I'm just still overwhelmed. Nevertheless, I DO love it here. I love everyone I've met. BC is an awesome place. My roommates are awesome, and I've met some great girls on my floor.
Also, today was the first home football game (a/k/a my first football game as part of a marching band). It was kind of fun, but mostly just hot and sticky and yucky. I feel like i ran a marathon today. Our team lost, but we (the band) did great.
"Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other's gold."
Yes, I just quoted that. Too many people seem to forget it.
However, I am making this my goal: to cherish my gold, my treasure....my friends. I plan to make new friends at BC, and it will happen. Nevertheless, the last four years of my life, God has blessed me with some magnificent people, and its my goal to lock them in my mind always throughout the NEXT four years.
My only fear is that the effort will not be reciprocated. This summer I've already felt the beginning of this in some of my friendships, and I hate it. Only time will tell which relationships will last, and which will fade away.
God's love will never fade away.
Also, it's my brother's birthday today. You know what crazy thing I did for him?? I bought him rockband. yeah....rockband. Dang I'm gonna miss the boy. I love him to death.
