B i t t e r s w e e t

Usually I steer clear

of writing when I am

even slightly fuming, 

but I feel like I just had

a w a v e of life lessons 

tossed my way and I 

need to get a good

grasp on them before

 they fade away.

First of all, that

was so uncalled for. 

To stand up there

in front of the whole

class and openly refuse

to participate in the 

presentation until 

asked to do so by 

the professor and then

continue to throw not just

the project, but everyone 

individually under the bus

and saying the only thing

you got out of it was 

really good c o o k i e s?

Sadly, that just goes

to show more of

your own character

than anyone else.

Originally I felt 

like I wouldn't take

much from this small

group communications

class since I already 

work well with pretty

much anyone I have

ever crossed paths with.

However, it turns out

that sometimes no matter

how hard you try or go

out of your way to 

make things work, some 

people just won't be p l e a s e d,

and that is perfectly fine. 

All that matters is

that I do my best and

what I learn from it,

what I have learned

from my first year 

of college actually,

and how I plan to 

a p p l y it to the 

rest of my life. 

After staying a 

few minutes after

class with the rest of 

my group to clear things

up with the professor,

the guys and I all walked 

out to the parking lot together, 

and when I said "See you later-"

like we always do, I quickly

realized my mistake "-maybe . . .

 If not, good luck with life!"

College has been kind of  

mega b i t t e r s w e e t like that. 

It has given me the opportunity

to get to know such a wide variety

of f a n t a s t i c people, and then 

just like that... they're gone. 

People seem to be coming

 in and out of my life a lot more

 lately, not even just at school.

Although it makes me

semi-sad, it has also

helped me realize that I 

need to be careful not to

take a d v a n t a g e of anyone

at any time in my life. 

People are p r i c e l e s s,

plain and simple,

and I feel like I need

to pay more attention to

everyone I have the

chance to get to know, 

even if it is only 

for a few minutes,

it will be worth it.

Y o u 

are worth it. 

Also, sometimes when I got bored in class I would make a paper crane and stick it on a random car. :)
