It's MARCH Madness... or something!

It is almost March 1st, only about four minutes until midnight. I can't believe it's already March. I can barely believe that I'm in my second semester of college, much less almost halfway through said second semester. The year has gone by so fast... too fast.

That being said, I started to look back at the year and found myself amazed at how it went. Some good, some bad. In no particular order, because I'm writing them as they come to me, here is free-written list.

I see my best friend of 10 years for the first time in 4 years. My sister is in a horrible car accident. I meet and start seeing a guy who will end up cheating on me. I befriend a bunch of Marines. I make a lot of new friends. One of my Marine friends is killed in action. One of my friends from high school dies unexpectedly. My sister gets pregnant. A very good friend of mine is put in the hospital on life support. He walks out of the hospital two months later. I dated a Marine who got too forceful and after I hit him, he tells me he isn't coming back to Greensboro. I go to a house party that is broken up by the police. I sleep in the back of a car, more than once. I join a club on campus that makes me really happy. My lowest final grade first semester was a B. I get my cartilage pierced. The Saints win the Super Bowl and I laugh until I cry. I meet a guy that I trust and start to see him. He dances with me in the snow under the stars on Valentine's day.

That list is actually not everything that happened, of course. If I told you what happened every day that I've been here, we'd be here for a while.

I've lost friends, I've gained friends. Boys have tried to break my heart and one just may have stolen it. I've struggled with assignments, I've passed tests with flying colors. I've fought, I've laughed, I've danced, I've sang, I've partied. I've stayed up all night and I've slept all day.

And just to think, it's not over yet. It's only March. I still have March, April, and then some of May.

Plus, Spring Break starts this weekend. One week with my friends in Virginia Beach. Excited doesn't even cover it. :]

All in all, I'm happy with life right now.
