Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times.

Here I am only a couple days away from the end of the semester. Endings are sad, and this ending is quite sad. This year has been interesting. If I thought I grew a lot last year, I'd say this year I learned even more...more about myself, about friends, and about people in general. Life is interesting; that's what I've learned. Life throws you curves, and life tests you...constantly. The semester ends. Classes end. Relationships end. Friendships end. Even lives end. But life's lessons keep on coming. Sometimes I could just bask in the amazingness of life - all of its surprises and take-my-breath-away moments. Then there are other times where I wonder how the heck I got where I am and why everything just won't fall into place the way I want it to. The only answer I can come to is that maybe it's not supposed to be the way I want it to be. But I still get sick of it.
Anyhow, the most important thing I've come out of this year learning is how great, incredible, real friends are supposed to be. I have finally...yes FINALLY...been able to say I have the best friends I could ever imagine. I feel so blessed and lucky and happy to be able to have people I can count on. People who truly understand me, and even if they don't understand me they are by my side trying their hardest. Thank goodness for those people...they are what makes life worthwhile even in the most confusing times, and I love them for it.
Tomorrow is my last final of my last science class for the rest of my life! I guess that means I should retire soon.
