Where have the sunny days gone?



This was about a week ago, it was magnificent. I miss the SUNSHINE! Ah well I guess the dreariness has its' own sort of charm.

College

I wish someone would have told me how hard it is to grow up.

It is amazing to me how much pain the time between two happy lifestyles can cause. After high school my friends and I set off with dreams and plans, some are still on the paths they set out on; others have a new plan for their lives, and others are just lost. One thing is certain though, they’re all in pain. I don’t understand how finally having the opportunity to set out on your own and make your own decisions, finally having the ability to truly live and fly from the nest and all of that can make everyone so sad. Walking through a college campus there are friends and classmates and opportunities and beauty and growth but more-so there is an overarching sense of loneliness, indecision, and confusion in every individual. Why are we even at college? What is the point? Who do we want to be? Where do we want to go? And most of all, Does anyone care?

I know that this will be one of the greatest journeys of my life and I guess when I feel so alone it helps to think that I am alone with thousands of other of age children, trying to learn to grow up.

Morning fog on campus

The sunlight finally breaking through the fog was stunning. Campus had been shrowded in a cloud for almost a week, and the sun made quite an entrance.

The blue of the bay is incredible. It makes the mornings so much more enjoyable to look out the window to sunshine and happiness.
