Last night, the Sarah's and I sat in Caroline's room while she told us her friend drama. She's having a hard time at work, classes etc. Later, after we had all gone to bed I was thinking about it. She's a freshman in college, has to make new friends (something I am just not very good at), and has to spend the next 3 years here. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Western. I've been here long enough. If I knew I had to spend another 3 years here I would probably quit especially if I didn't have any friends and would have to make new friends. I couldn't do it. Making friends is hard. Being in a new place without any support is hard. Classes are hard.
I'm so so so thankful that I made my friends my first semester at Western. We clicked, well I made sure we clicked haha, but seriously, how many people can say I met my very best friends my first semester? At the same time, I'm so thankful that I'm leaving. I've loved my time here at Western; it has changed me- I've grown and learned valuable lessons. Lessons that if I had stayed home I would have never learned. I'm thankful for the classes I've taken and what I've learned from the professors inside and outside of class. I'm so thankful for the 4 years I've gotten to spend in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. If you haven't seen them, make a trip. It's worth it. Seriously, Cullowhee is so beautiful. It may have been boring at times but it doesn't make it any less beautiful.
I can pick out everything wrong with my life and name them off in a split second. But, picking out the positive, good things in my life- it's a lot harder. I am thankful though. I know I have a lot to be thankful for.
Hope your day, rest of the week, and weekend is beautiful like you!
