A Farewell Letter To The Best Experience Of My Life

Summer,

You have been great. I am now more tan, relaxed, and happy than I have been in a long time. I have had 13 weeks of bliss, and I am not ready to go back and start classes.

Through you, I have meet some of the best friends I will ever have. When I had to bid them goodbye, it almost broke me. I think part of the reason our friendships were so great was because they were summer friendships, and we knew that we had to make every moment count. Now you are coming to an end, we have said goodbye, and do not know when we will meet again.

The counselors I worked with this summer were from England, Scotland, Australia, and Mexico, and they have all been such big influences on my life. They showed me how to be a true friend, a great counselor, and I know we have formed lifelong bonds. It seemed like you would drag out, but camp flew by, and I was not ready to say goodbye.

I got the opportunity to impact young girls lives, and I did not realize how much they would impact me. Each and every camper I met taught me something about myself, and I hope that this summer I helped them learn something about themselves as well.

You have been one big blur; there is not one specific memory I can choose as my favorite, but I know without a doubt this summer has been the best of my life. I had so many moments of silence and nights of quiet when I could question my soul and find myself, and I thank you for that. I cannot wait to meet you again in three short seasons!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
