Cheers to the walk...to the quad...to the top floor of the O'Malley Center at night studying for hours and not remembering anything.
Ode to the Harry Potter Hogwarts-esque lights lighting my work sitting at the circle tables, the phone calls to my mom and dad, the never ending Spotify playlists motivating me to keep typing, and the unnecessary tears shed over papers due at midnight.
Here's to never forgetting the peace, serenity, calm and beauty in that space. Ode to being comfortable with the uncomfortable and finally knowing you are at a place now called "home.”
Ode to the hellos and goodbyes on the quad, in the Einstein's order line, at the dinners in the caf that turned into friendships.
Here's to the five minute conversations that turned into five hours, the ones I hope to keep going.
To the comfort of the blue and gold adirondack chair, the always muddy green grass soaking the quad, even to the dangling feet in the water of the fountain.
Ode to the people that made my four years into a time I will still remember in 40 years.
Ode to the days I talk about over and over.
Here’s to the place I have officially graduated from.
Ode to the 44118, the zip code I have memorized, the city where I had the time of my life and the corner of the world where I was myself.
Ode to the the moments that turned into memories.
Onward on JCU,
Love, a forever Blue Streak.
