How Firm Thy Friendship

I think everyone has those few days or weeks in their life that they will always look back on and remember as being just perfect. Everything probably wasn’t perfect and their were probably a few, if not several minutes or hours during those “perfect” days that were far from perfect. But those imperfect moments don’t matter because when you look back, you will only think of the good. I originally started thinking how I would call this last week perfect. Due to my lack of finals, I ended my week in Columbus with lots of friends, lots of laughs and lots of memories. 

so happy we finally karaoked 

senior crawl with my favorite fake senior and the rando we found 

But when I really think about it, I haven’t just had just an extremely above average week, I have had an extremely above average year. Have I had horrible days this year? Yes. Have I cried this year? Of course. Have I had one of the best years of my life? Absolutely no question yes.

And the best part of this list? It’s only the quote-on-quote big events. It doesn’t include the dozens of times I ended up crying from laughing so hard talking about the dumbest things in our living room or the number of worthless hours spent in the baby pool in the front yard or random Tuesday nights at 4th Street that turned into some of the best nights of my life. I literally pinch myself looking back on this past year and how many wonderful opportunities I have been given. Thank you all for making my first three years at OSU the best I could ask for. I can’t even wait to see what the next two bring. Congratulations to all the other wonderful graduates, you are all destined for greatness, I know it. 

Peace&Love
