the wrapping

soon 3rd year of Penn State will be over too, and I ponder the seniors who are leaving us. Stacy put it in the real way: "you guys warm your way into our hearts, and then tear it apart when you leave." It's not like any of us can help it, because college isn't meant for more than 6 years (that's including grad school), but if I can choose, I wish departure for our beloved is not the end of our relationships. 

Those relationships don't have to happen in State College. I could've gone to another school. I would be a whole different person then. But why I chose Happy Valley in the first place, was because the unity in the university. Out of all the schools visited in my senior year, all the other school came to me as another place to spend 4 years in, but Penn State, you give your students a pride to belong to, to give each other a common ground. Here, I felt it was a place that would shape me in 4 years, not a pit stop to come and go. 

So, there is no accident for us to meet, to be friends, and to leave. Memories we made together are not the ashes of time, they are vivid music to my ears. If I can, I would dance to it.
