Fresher's. Freshmen.
The first year of University is now officially over as I take down my posters, my pictures and pack my room away into the boxes that I will pack into the car with at 8am tomorrow, and drive home.
I'm not going to go into a huge spiel about all the fabulous people that I've met, and how they've inspired me because it's 25 degrees in the middle of May and I just genuinely can't be bothered right now. They know who they are, the wrong ones and the right ones.
Instead, I'm going to leave you with a few of the quotes I've taken down off my freshmen halls, bedroom walls.
"Paris, is always a good idea."
"Can you imagine no love, pride, deep fried chicken? Your best friend always sticking up for you; even when I know you're wrong. Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance, five hour phone conversations, the best soy latte you've ever had and me?"
"It ain't hard to see who you are underneath. I'm still in love with who I wish you were, and I wish you were here. I've seen your act, and I know all the facts; I'm still in love with who I wish you were."
"I'm not giving up - just starting over."
"Je ne regrette rien..."
"Just because a person is happy and smiling all the time, it doesn't mean their life is perfect; their smile is a symbol of hope and strength."
"Stop being afraid what could go wrong, and start thinking of what could go right..."
"We're fools whether we dance or not, so we may as well dance."
"I may not get over it, but I'll get through it."
"So lately, I've been wondering - who will be there to take my place? When I'm gone, you'll need love, to light the shadows on your face. If I could, then I would, I'll go wherever you will go. Way up high, or down low. I'll go wherever you will go."
...and last but no means least. A quote from a TV show called Misfits, that I think aptly describes my generation ;)
"We're young! We're supposed to have bad attitudes and shag each other's brains out. We are designed to party! Yeah, so a few of us will overdose or go mental - but...Charles Darwin said you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. And by eggs, I do mean getting twatted on a cocktail of class A's. If you could just see yourselves. It breaks my heart. YOU'RE WEARING CARDIGANS. We had it all. We fucked up bigger and better than any generation that came before us. We were so beautiful!!!"
