The past summer, will forever be engraved in my head, as the best of the best thus far. Starting in May, I’ve slowly emerged from my mountains of text books and back into the lives of my loved ones. And thankfully they took me back like I had never been gone in the first place.

I’ll really miss the freedom to do whatever you felt, when you felt like it, like sleeping until noon and staying up all night. As well as late-night phone calls, spontaneous trips to hidden little towns. I’ll miss diving into the lake, and walking on terrifyingly shaky wooden piers. I’ve spent this summer at concerts, at the cabin and reading about the world around me. I’ve attempted conquering my fear of ghosts, spiders and deep water (all of which I’m still afraid of).

But even with all of that, I’d have to say the most fulfilling part of the summer was my summer love. Not the short-lived and cheesy ones you see on TV, but the one I had and will keep throughout the dreadful winter. It was the love of my friends that I’m mentioning now. Somehow within these short four months, I’ve managed to rekindle my high school friendships, as well as forming new and unexpected ones. I feel, after this summer I have finally found my place. Aside from my mom and dad, I’ve found a group of people I can count on through thick and thin. And for all of this I’m completely gracious.

So thank you summer ’09 for making yourself as amazing as you possibly could have been. If my mind was a room and my good memories were pictures, I’d have 4 walls completely covered from the ceiling to the floor.
