And we will be friends forever :)

I'm back from Georgia, obviously. It would be silly to assume Alyssa came south to see me. But yes, one of the last days before I head off to school. And only a few days until the dreaded Hurricane Irene.

People say there is going to be this huge, awful storm. I don't believe it. But I guess only time will tell.

But yes, I'm at that point of the year where I have to start saying goodbye to all my home friends. If I don't cry within the next few days, I'll be very proud and surprised at myself.

It's weird the different lives you lead once you leave home. Here are these people that I grew up with, went through that awkward phase with, and those who knew me at my highest and lowest. Then you go to this new place and you get that chance to finally start over.

I feel like since coming to college I've gotten to know who I really am. And since finding out who that person is, I've brought her back home and I must say, all my home friends are proud that I've finally found that inner strength.

Too bad not everyone I would have liked to see this past summer I didn't. I've been nervous ever since leaving high school that I'm going to lose those most important to me from home. Especially seeing how I was so busy working this summer, I was very upset that I couldn't see everyone I wanted to.

But enough feeling bad for myself. I'm back to school soon and I get to start yet another fabulous year in Poughkeepsie.
