The smell of rain

There's a light drizzle outside as dormitory residents say farewells, pack up, and head home. The smell of the rain is fantastic. I just want to sit on a bench and read a book or just take it all in. It being the smell of the rain, the end of freshman year, and all that I have learned here. 


I am in love with the rain. Thunderstorms, the gloom, the rain drops, and the amazing green that the world becomes. Don't get me wrong, I am a sunshine fan for sure, but a nice rain is just right sometimes. There is no thunder or lightening happening right now. It is a quiet, peaceful rain as campus slows down and the hallways, usually full of hustle, bustle, and screaming also calm down.


When I'm at home I like to sit on the porch during storms. I always walk out there and my Dad is already sitting there with his blanket just looking at the rain. Like father like daughter I guess.

I think I'll go back outside and just breath for a minute.

The End(s)

Here we go again. Almost another week GONE. Where did it go? I couldn't tell ya. Everything is starting to wrap up now in preparation for the end of the quarter. I will be going home in 4 short days, which means everything we do right now is "the last time"... at least for the year :) which is NUTS because I feel like I just moved in yesterday! But I in fact moved in 9 months ago and summer "vacation" is now quickly approaching. The sound of those large rolling bins they supply in the dorms for moving stuff is a constant noise out the window now as people move out. As sad as it is to say goodbye, I love all of the ending stuff. Like, LAST DAY OF CLASSES, or LAST CHEMISTRY TEST! It's time for summer and old friends and pools and bonfires and s'mores and boats... and stats class? and work? The point is I am very excited for summer and to get out of this super HOT dorm. I swear it is 100 degrees in here, but I'm gonna miss everyone so much!! Tear.


It's always exciting in grade school when school lets out and everyone cheers for summer vacation! Now things are a little different, especially because everyone leaves at different times and it's all going to be so different next year when we're living in a HOUSE! HOLLA! But there's almost a little more excitement because I get to see all my friends I never get to see because they go to schools far far away like New York and Californiarl... jerks... anywho I will see them soon and all shall be merry :)


Here comes summer lovin'

That's me! On a tube!

GOODBYE DANIELS HALL

and freshman year!

I will miss you!!
