A while back a friend asked me how I deal with it?
"What?" I replied.
"This year has gone by so fast."

I gave a witty quip that I don't quite remember. But as I think about it. The past three years of my life have flown by. I've grown and learned so much. Had experiences I could never have dreamed of, made friends that I don't deserve. And there is only one year left.
Where did the time go?
Will this next year pass as quickly as the three previous?
What will it hold?
What new experiences will it bring with it?

That leads me to think of my friends. The ones that have come and gone, the ones that have stayed. The old ones, the new ones. And how each year the dynamic changes. One more year.
Then off to new adventures. All of us, those staying and those leaving. I tend to try not to think about these things, because people don't enjoy talking about them. But sometimes you can't help it. And with noone around. My blog audience gets my thoughts.

I think about things like spur of the moment trips to Meijer or Taco Bell. Of the silly curfew rules, my freshmen year when I practically lived in second floor lounge. The freshmen frenzy, Wellness at 8 am.

I think about how I found my voice this year. How I ran for Vice President of Legislation. Realizing that nice guys don't finish last all the time. And building up my pain tolerance.
So many memories are flooding back but I don't think I'll be putting them all on here.
Three years down, one to go. Man...
