At the End of Another Semester...

Having just finished my last final, I've been lying here thinking back on the events of the semester (yes, I should be packing, but you know how much I love to procrastinate.) Looking back on the semester, a lot has happened, but then again very little has happened. I completed another seventeen credit hours, but it was just another bunch of classes. I got to teach for the first time in real classrooms, which was amazing. Yet it was just the first few times of many to come. I was in the play; I played tennis; I headed up the social life committee; and I had another birthday. Granted these were all amazing and fun times, but they're not what I'm going to remember most from this semester. Earlier today I was going to spend this blog lamenting about the fact that another semester has gone by and I still don't have a boyfriend. However, then I started thinking about all the new people I've met and how great the friendships I already had have become. I took seventeen credit hours and made several new friends while doing so. I taught in a real classroom and began to understand my housemates even more. I was in the play and some of my friendships returned to a former stability as well as new friendships being formed. So why am I rambling about next to nothing? Because it is something. People are the only real thing that matters. God places people in our lives for three purposes. They are either in our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Some of the people I have met in college were only here for a moment. They came into my life to get me through some specific event. Other people I have met in college are here for this entire season of my life. Then there's those extra special people who are going to be in my life forever. So even though I'm still single and have still never been on a date, I have amazing friends and a wonderful family. So today instead of lamenting my singleness, I'm going to rejoice in the relationships I do have.
