Mack-I really wanted to watch FNL tonight but I am not going to. I won’t betray our pact yet…
a story for tomorrow. (by gnarly bay productions, Inc.)
I think that I have posted this one before but it is just too good not to post again.
Crying or laughing? It’s your choice to decide. Either way I’m going to miss this girl an INSANE amount. @mackenziezendt (Taken with instagram)
It is weird how sad an empty room is. My parents came this weekend to pack up my room and take almost everything home since I am going to Windy Gap on Wednesday for Work Week. The walls in here are bare, I don’t have any of my regular sheets and my closet is cleaned out. It just gives the room an overall sad and depressed feeling to already add to my feelings of sadness. My friends and I are trying not to be sad and trying not to make a big deal out of saying goodbyes but it is still hard. I am not one to cry at goodbyes/cry in general. But, I am so sad I have to leave these amazing people.
Before I came to college the number one thing I was worried about was finding a community of people and finding friends I wanted to do life with. I prayed about it constantly and worried plenty but, in the end the Lord provided like He always does. I could seriously not be more blessed.
First of all the Young Life community here is amazing. We have 21 leaders here and they are all amazing. I have gotten so close with all of them throughout the year and hold them all so close to my heart. This year would not have been close to as fun as it was this year without them. Some of them are leaving next year and are going to be missed a lot but I will always remember being with them this year!
Also someone who made this year so sweet was my roommate Mackenzie. Mackenzie and I started talking in the summer before we came to Elon and I was so excited to live with her!! And the Lord blessed me so much by putting her in my life. I have loved getting to know her and she has been so encouraging throughout the entire year. She was always there to listen to me and talk and we had so many hilarious times in the Nook. So many classic Nook moments. I’m going to miss living with her next year so much but I love her like crazy! She is also going to have an AMAZING summer in ITAY!!!! I am so jealous! We are going to be pen pals and it is going to be awesome. Love her. She is also so beautiful. Let me just though that in there. I love that she always is looking like a beauty queen and sometimes I don’t shower…whatever. Hehe.
What made my freshmen year the sweetest was 4 people that I love so, so dang much. I really can’t even talk about them with getting excited and a little sad that we all live in 5 different states. I am going to miss these guys SO much this summer but I know that are friendships are all so strong that I cannot wait to come back next year and go so hard first semester. Thank you friends for making my first year of college blow me OUT THE GAME (yeah that doesn’t really make sense but it is the phrase that matters…). Y’all were always there for me, you built me up, you made me laugh everyday and you probably won’t make me cry when I leave all of you but my insides are crying. I am BLESSED to have all of you in my life and love you tons. And I like being sappy cause I want y’all to know how much you mean to me but I won’t be cause I bet you won’t read it. Instead I am going to elaborate on a lot of the times we had in a separate post. Maybe you will read it maybe you won’t but I don’t care cause I’m freakin’ Karell and I have my own CD.
