Rivers and Roads

For my avid blog readers (please know I say that with great sarcasm) you know I have been away for some time now. Drowning in sorority recruitment. I was Recruitment Vice President for my sorority. I would love to give charming and witty stories from the past several weeks, but since I feel as if it almost killed me, I have decided to look back on running recruitment as a great life experience-but neverrr recount every last detail of the ups and downs of the process. Therefore moving on…

I am a senior in college. It blows my mind on a daily basis that in less than a year I am going to be in the real world. Sink or swim. Ready or not.

My older sister Taylor. Fabulous and artsy. Shared a song with me last week. Those of you who know Taylor and I, are fully aware that Taylor has NEVER shared a song with me. Not because her taste in music is so different from mine, but music is just not her thing. So when this song was shared with me, I knew it had to be an amazing song to catch the attention of my tay tay. And I was right, this song embodies every feeling that is coming with graduation and moving on. I am not sure what I am going to do with myself when my best friends and I all move on and pretend to grow up.

Ladies and Gentlemen. Here it is:

Rivers and Roads by The Head and The Heart

a year from now we'll all be gone

all our friends will move away

and they're going to better places

but our friends will be gone away

nothing is as it has been

and i miss your face like hell

and i guess it's just as well

but i miss your face like hell

been talking bout the way things change

and my family lives in a different state

and if you don't know what to make of this

then we will not relate

so if you don't know what to make of this

then we will not relate

rivers and roads

rivers and roads

rivers 'til i reach you

Senior Pledge Class on our last "First Night Out"

Graduating and becoming a little adult doesn’t scare me half as much as saying goodbye to people. The people who have been right by my side during the ups&downs of figuring out some of life’s magical mysteries during college & what I look back on as the best years of my life. I can't wait to make the most of our last year together.
