Its hard to believe that my time at Penn State is almost half over...it seems like it has just begun, but you know what they say--time flies, and it sure does! for as hard of a time i had in the beginning of my college journey, i'm 100% finally happy to say I'm glad i stayed here in happy valley. so many great experiences, opportunities, and friendships have came my way as a penn stater, and i definitely would not have gained them anywhere else.
Just taking some time reflecting on everything that has happened just puts me in absolute "AWE!" THON. Relay. Band. The Second Mile. BFF's. Interning for Hillary really make me appreciate life a little more everyday.
like who in their normal life would decide to stand for 46 hours for the kids? who would "party" and stay enthusiastic in freezing pouring rain for the portion of relay that wasn't canceled.? who would joke back and forth with people about using "the pickety third" for a pick up line? who would spend a week + playing about every version of Tag and large group games with a bunch of little kids and losing your voice in the process? who would go run around wal-mart in the wee hours of the morning and laugh the entire time? who would mischievously circulate the entire penn state campus from midnight - 3am promoting Bill Clinton's rally? i'd say not the average person...thats what makes us here at Penn State so unique and so amazing!
but its not like we take the pride and glory for ourselves...we do it to make a difference in other's lives. those suffering from cancer, or the at risk kids, and just the average American. and we definitely appreciate every minute of it-- no matter how tired we may be, or how many people put us down along the way. at the end of the day, we can look back and see what has been accomplished :)
P.S. "Heather! we met bill! lmao" yess!!! 7000+ people in rec hall to see bill tonight=simply amazing, and we helped make that happen!!! still totally stoked. p.s.s. sean-we totally met bill tonight!! ha
The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
