Bye to the best Summer ever

Two weeks, that’s all that’s left in what feels like the shortest summer of my life. Really though, I feel like it was just May and then I blinked and now summers ending. But like most people who have been in OC for a summer, I really can’t wait until the calmness of Fall takes over, but it is really a bit bitter sweet.

 Ever since I was little, summer has always been one of my favorite times of year, but this summer seemed a bit more special. Like I’ve said before, this summer has been one where I’ve spent mainly trying to figure out who I am. I’m no longer a college student, where my biggest problems were passing my finals and scraping together cash for the bar. I had been awkwardly in limbo between those years and the start of being a “grown up” when this summer started.

I made a conscious choice at the start of this summer to learn something from everyone and every situation and I can honestly say that I’m more inspired now than I ever could imagine. The people around me are all doing spectacular things and, don’t get me wrong, I’m stoked for them. But as summer ends I can’t help but feel a little down. Maybe I’m just super sentimental, but this really has been one of the best summers yet (when everyone seemed to click and things seemed easy) and seeing it end is the last thing I want to do. It doesn’t help that a lot of us are starting to do our own things and this very well could be the last time we’ll all be in one place. I guess this all just makes me more grateful to have had the past couple of months. 

I’m not naïve. I know that with time a lot of us will go our separate ways (its already starting to happen). This is easily one of the saddest things about growing up, maybe that’s why things are a bit more bitter for me now. But I am really so grateful to have made the friends that I have in the past couple of years.

While I might be sad now, I know that in the long run a lot of these friendships will last more than just a summer so before I get too sappy too late here’s to Fall and starting new adventures.
