You've got growing up to do...

So, another school year has ended, another year of memories come and gone and what have we got at the end of it? I can list a few things, bags under our eyes, an addiction to caffeine, and a brain that has turned to mush. It's not all bad news though, which I will be getting to.

Yes, it's true - third year does kill you. It does try to take away your soul, and for those to whom it succeeded, my condolences. Another year of school though brings even more late night memories, even more trips to either the 24hr grocery store for brownies and ice cream or McDicks, and somehow it teaches us even more about yourself.

Honestly, every year that I come out of school, I feel like I have somehow matured? I don't know how it's possible, but I look back on things that happened in September and I wouldn't have dealt with them or treated the situations as I did then. Friendships come, friendships go, and at the end you wonder how much more could change in the following summer.

It's kind of exciting when you think about it, because you think life will always stay the same, and it doesn't. Everyday you learn new things about life, and about yourself, and even when you're 45 you'll still have lessons to learn. Crazy huh?

So my point of this very random post - as Joshua Radin would say, we've all got some growing up to do, and as for me, I am happy that it is with the Ladies of Jane that I can do this sometimes painful learning experience with.



How much will I have grown by next year?
