As i sit here in my empty, well, almost empty dorm room it's hard to fathom the fact that it's already been a whole year here at CUC. It feels like just yesterday i was driving up college ave and being greeted by my awesome roommate, about to start what i didn't realize would be such an amazing year. I had no clue what to expect. I didn't know who i would meet. I didn't know how school would treat me. I didn't know how friends and relationships would form. I didn't know how i would change. All i knew was that i needed to get away and that CUC was God's way of giving me a fresh start. Now that i've had a whole school year here and i'm sitting here, reminiscing over all the amazing memories i've made this year, i can't help but smile as tears well in my eyes. Everything that has happened this year has shaped me to be the person that i am today. I've been through a lot and it definitely hasn't been easy.. but usually, things that are really worthwhile aren't easy. To all of the friends that have gotten me through this year, through all of the good times and the bad times, there are no words that could express how much i appreciate you. I LOVE you all. KB, AT, NS; you three have changed my life and i really don't know what i would have done without you. Thank you for always being here for me, even when i got myself into ridiculous situations. I didn't realize that i would find girls as amazing as you but i'm so glad i did. You will all be lifelong best friends! CM; thanks for never judging me and always being willing to listen to my stories.. even though they were always about the same thing. JN and MB; you guys always new how to put a smile on my face and you both know that i needed help with that a lot this year, so thanks! My Moosemen; you guys made me feel more accepted on a hockey team than i ever have before. I love you all and i'm gonna miss you so much! You've helped me grow as a hockey player and as a person. I can't imagine what this year would have been like without you. TM; my bestie! I'm so grateful for your friendship. I'm so proud of you for everything you've accomplished this year and i'm so thankful for the role model you have been for me. RG; my ting ting! You're the best. I really don't need to say anything else. You're always there for me and we've had some unforgettable times throughout this year. I'm still gonna marry you buddy! RD; my big brother here at school. I can't even express how much you mean to me. You've helped me get through so much this year and i am going to miss you so much over these 4 months. I feel like i have someone to look out for me no matter what. Thank you for being such an amazing friend to me! And lastly CE; you know that you've become my best friend. Nothing i say to thank you for this year will be enough. Thank you for everything you've done.. there's simply way too many things for me to list. You're really the best and i hope you know i'm so happy for you and proud of where you are in your life. You helped fix me this year, for real, thanks.
As my head is flooded with all these great memories of this year, it's such a bittersweet taste. I can't wait to go home and see my family but i'm gonna miss it here so much! All of the people, all of the memories.. it's just so hard to leave. I'll never forget what my freshman year at CUC was like. It was truly amazing and i can't wait for another year that will be filled with even bigger and better things. All i can really say is thank you CUC. I've realized that God has an amazing plan for me and i can't wait to see where it's going to take me.
Until next year. Can't. Friggin. Wait.
