done and done

so today I finished my last exam of college. I'm pretty excited to take the next step in my life but I can't move forward without taking a good look backwards. my two years of cegep were the most emotional years of my life. I went to school in a place where I didn't talk to anyone. I simply went in got good grades and left. which isn't to say I didn't get involved. I was considerably involved in clubs and volunteering. I was surrounded consistently by people but felt so out of place. I made and lost some great friends in the process of this. on my drive home today I thought about all the people I would never see again. these were the very same people who I never wanted to see in the first place. it's ironic how when things come to a close our perception of it changes entirely.
