One year a go today I was leaving college. I was more excited than sad and had a great last night with all my college friends. It was a good day and an even better night.
Today I'm just finishing my last year at university. I'm polishing off my last assignment and looking forward to going home next Friday. My mental health is not nearly as good as this time last year. I'm very different in a lot of ways but very much the same in other ways.
This year has been huge for me, probably the biggest year I've had so far. I've done some amazing things, had some of the best times of my life this year. But I've also had some of the worst. There is no better way to describe this year than huge. Things have changed in my life so much this year: I've met a lot of new people and had so many new experiences, good and bad. University definitely wasn't what I'd hoped for but I'm coming to terms with that. The most important relationships I had before this year have mostly stayed the same or got stronger. Things that were so incredibly important to me last year aren't as important now but they'll always hold a place in my heart. I've learnt a lot but I now know I have a lot more to learn and I'm looking forward to a lifetime of learning.
Throughout the bad times this year I've always had hope that it will get better. It has, at times, at times its got worse but thats okay. I think the main thing I have learnt this year is that the good times can be so good despite the bad times being very bad. They don't cancel each other out, either. I know I can be very happy some weeks then not so happy the next and thats okay, they don't affect each other that much.
I just needed to get my thoughts on this out there.
