ARMAGEDDON --Just Kidding

The end is drawing near where I will have to say goodbye to subjects, to teachers, to TAs, and to friends.

I look at my desk (because I'm messy as heck) and I find various things that have made sophomore worth living for.

What's on my desk?
A Shakespeare tome
British Literature nonsense
A banana (A BANANA THAT TOOK FOREVER TO RIPEN!)
An instant noodle cup from Billy Goat
A board of quotes I filled out before and after getting semi-rejected (don't assume about quotes from these words).

"Yet, yet I love!" -"Eloisa to Abelard" Alexander Pope

King: My words fly up, my thoughts remain below:
Words without thoughts never to heaven go.
-Hamlet Shakespeare

"Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen."

"Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."
-Mahatma Gandhi

"Don't wish me happiness. I don't expect to be happy it's gotten beyond that, somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor--I will need them all."
-Anne Lindbergh

A picture frame given to me for secret santa
A donut [was two] (<3)
A Hawaiian lay necklace from my last Frat party
Taken shortbread cookies
Roses from Bri (<3)
Cards from Bri
Last edition of Pipe Dream for this year (I haven't read it) (I will never read it).

Every time I listen to Dido's White Flag, I think of Zhan, of how much I liked him, of how much I thought he was the one for me. But I let go.

"I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?"

Though the feeling has passed or at least has become dormant, I'm grateful for them.

So I still stand by what I wrote to you no matter how idealistic and foolishly young of me:
"Love Love Love makes us who we are".
