I forgot what it was like to be in high school. I forgot what it means to cry. I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy and pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart. I forgot that you can't forget the past. I forgot that you can't control falling in love and that you can't make yourself fall in love. I learned that I can love. I learned that good food doesn't really seem great until you can't have it anymore and that even I would grow to love grilled cheese and tomato soup.
I learned that going to college means amking choices and that making choices can get you into trouble. I learned that it is ok to mess up and it's ok to ask for help and it's ok to feel like crap. I learned that sometimes the things that you want the most, you just can't have. I learned the greatest thing about college isn't the parties or the drinking or the boys, it's the chances. Taking chances and making the most of them. I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things we need to talk about the most. I learned that once you get to college, things don't automatically get better, it's what you make of them. I leaned that letters from friends are the most important thing and that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better. I learned that home isn't necessarily where I went to high school, but wherever I wanted it to be. I learned that I miss my brothers. I learned that high school was good for me and that the challenges in high school are nothing.
Somewhere along the line, I learned that if you look for love, you'll never find it. I learned that some people will do anything to try and make you see their point. I learned that it is really hard to explain yourself. I learned that it is easy to have views and it's easy to have friends, but it is hard to stick up for them if everyone else disagrees, but I learned that it's worth it to stick up for both of them in the long run. I learned that I don't always have to be the center of attention to have fun, and that the center of attention isn't always fun. I learned that laughter is the best medicine and that friends who make you laugh are the best kind to have. I learned that sometimes its not always possible to agree and sometimes it is necessary to compromise.
I learned that everyone has a few problems in life, and that everyone laughs about them later. I learned that kisses aren't contracts. I learned that I am my own person. I found out that I am just starting to find out about me. I learned that it is never to late to change. I learned that sometimes change is good. I learned that no matter what happens, your friends still care about you. I learned that you should tell people how you feel about them. I learned that sometimes I need to me alone. I learned about life, I learned about love, I learned about me, I learned. I learned that some of the most valuable lessons in life are the ones you can't teach in a classroom. I learned that no matter what I want to be, I will have to take a class I don't like in order to get there. I learned that there is still so much that I have to learn. I learned that college is different from everything I thought it would be.
I learned that life isn't always about me. I learned that I should stick up for myself. I learned that is hard to do. I learned thst people should like me for me, and that I should like me for me. I learned that naps are good, and that when I get angry, I shouldn't take my frustrations out on someone else. I learned that things change and people change and that its not always possible to stay in touch with everyone. I learned that some people are your friends for life, even when you doubt it, through fights, and being apart what seems like forever, they are still there. I learned that though you may doubt them, you will always know in your heart that because you are friends, everything will be ok. I learned taht friends make everything better and that I should thank all of my friends for being there for me and helping me learn.
