It's hard to say it, time to say it.

The end of the year is approaching... fast.

I'm not ready.

Sure, we could all use a break from classes. But summer means jobs, missing friends, and graduation. I only have two weeks to finish my work. To create memories--to say what I need to say especially to those I may never see again. I find myself sad. Time's moving way too fast and I can't believe I'm almost a junior.

So, I encourage my readers to live your life openly. College is such a short time and the people you meet will affect you forever. Take these two weeks and tell each person how you feel about them. There's no point leaving things unsaid, it's not good for anyone. College is such an honest atmosphere. So go for it, don't regret a missed opportunity for human interactions. I learned this the hard way. So please, let's make the most of the time we have. Don't let time be a hinderance, but a reminder.

To my friends not returning next year, I love you and I wish you did not have to go. But it's what's best for you, and I know that. There won't be a day I forget to smile about a memory with you. I hope we keep in touch. You have affected me for the better.

It's been a great semester.
