All Good Things....

Alright, so this might be a few days late but give me a break. I've been busy.. ya know, with taking finals, packing up, cleaning, tunnel adventuring, and that whole running from the cops thing... but anywho, back to what I was saying, All good things...

So the past 8 months have been the most roller coaster of consecutive months of my life. Shall I start from August and make my way to now? I think so.

August:

I quit the wretched hell hole I was forced to work in all summer long. I started packing up to start my Sophomore year at USU. I was kinda hesitant, not gonna lie, but I sucked it up and moved into Pineview. I knew all of my roomies from the year before, all except one: Marissa Lou Floodman (I'll elaborate more on her in a later post). Classes started and yeah that's about it.

September:

Well, for those of you that had any type of contact with me during this time then you know what what happened right around this time (for those of you who don't... well that's just too bad). So ya, that whole thing went down.

You know what, my attention span is way too short to go through all the major events of the past 8 months haha. Let me just try and sum it all up in 1 paragraph.

So like I said in the beginning, this year was an absolute roller coaster ride. There were days when I didn't even want to get out of bed, there were days when I thought life just couldn't possibly try and get any better. But through all these times, good and bad, I had the best friends anyone could ever ask for. They were there even when I wanted them to leave me alone. They came to my (pathetic) intramural basketball games. They put up with all my dancing on tables (or joined) and great singing abilities. To simply put it, they were the type of best friends some people search their whole lives trying to find. They're the type of friends that I know I will keep the rest of my life, whether we want to stay friends or not :).

I'm even lucky enough to have 2 groups of friends like this. I have my friends from school, the ones that stay up late with me, either to get into mischief or to just talk. But then I have my friends from home. These friends have been here since day one practically. We went to high school with me, they all live within walking distance from my house (yes even you, Cookie), they tell me exactly whats up and how I should be acting. I don't keep in contact with many people from high school but there are 4 that I will be friends with even when I'm old and someone will be changing my diapers.

So back to the whole title of this post thing. I names this post " All Good Things..." for a reason. You see, I had to say bye too my college friends last week, a new one everyday from Tuesday to Saturday. Now, those of you that know me well know how big of a cry baby I am, for those of you that don't... I could give any poopy-diapered baby a run for its money. So there I was last week, crying every single time I had to say bye to someone, someone that had helped me in some way over the past 8 months. Some people might ask the question, why were you so emotional when you'll see/live with/live near 99% of these people again in like 4 months? Well here is my answer. First off, I'm leaving for the summer and I'm going to be away from all these people for a long time. Must I remind you that these are the people that I spent every single day with for the past 8 months? Second, things change. Yes, a majority of us will be together again next year, but it won't be the same. We won't be living right next door to each other, or down the hall, or the next apartment complex over. So yes, I cried, I cried every time I had to say bye to one of my best friends (whether you saw the tears or not, believe, they were there), I cried even at some of the stupid things; who cries at a HSM song (thanks Huss)? I do, that's who. I cried when I got home, I cried last night, I'll probably cry for the entire drive to the airport. But don't blame me, blame the damn onions (inside joke).

This is quite possibly the longest post ever...

So I guess what I am trying to say is this; yes, all good things must come to an end. But they must eventually come to an end so new great things can begin. Its ok to be sad when you say bye to the people that you love, even if it is only for 4 months.
I just want to end by saying thank you. Thank you for being such good friends to me over the course of this crazy roller coaster ride. You know who you are, so I don't have to name names.
I love you all and I can't wait to be reunited in August.

  1. My dearest Sian... although quite lengthy that was a great blog post. The onion joke is quite possibly one of my very favorite. Next time i cry as hard as you were crying i will remember to use it. (although since i'm not a very emotional person, i doubt i'll ever cry that hard. ha ha) and yes, we had some great times together- the best actually. I'll see you soon...

  2. I wanted you to name names so I could know if you were talking about me or not. I came on here to show my mom the post about me and jo and to my surprise there was a lovely goodbye note! I am really going to miss you these next few months. Say hi to Mex for me when you see her around town.

  4. Sian! This post almost made me cry :( I'm going to miss you SO much this summer, you have no idea. I hope you have one amazing time in California! For the rest of my life, whenever I hear "If I were a Boy" I'll think of you... I love you!! Thanks for making me loosen up a bit and stop studying for a while this year.
