One by One, They All Fall Down

So my roommate finally worked out plans for a fantastic internship today. Slowly, but surely, my little PR butterfly friends are spreading their wings and taking off into the much-feared real world.

I'm hoping that some of this good luck will rub off on me and my other roommates. Surely, with a little help and a lot of prayer, we will no longer be real world singles, but happily swept off our feet by our jobs in shining armor.

Either way, I only have a few more days in my Neverland. It would be a shame to only study for finals and not make the most of it, so I'm trying to squeeze in all of the Athens things I can before I go. Some definite "have-tos" are eating at Snelling, making a midnight trip to The Grill, walking around downtown, getting a scoop at Hodgson's and basking in the glory of North Campus.

I can't believe it's coming to an end, but my time in Neverland has truly been well-spent. Knowing that I lived each day knowing how lucky I was to be here makes leaving a little bit easier. Neverland's taught me how to enjoy each day to the fullest and, as sarcastic and cynical as I am about moving out and onward, I hope that I'll be able to take that philosophy with me on the next big adventure.

T-Minus 10 Days

I cannot convey the aching in my heart at the fact that I attended my last day of class ever on Thursday.


I. do. not. want. to. grow. up.

In ten days, I leave for Seville, Spain on a two-month farewell-to-college voyage. This is my last adventure in Neverland before they evict me and nudge me into the so-called "real world."

While I'm happy for a new "land" with new opportunities, I wish I could bring my "lost boys and girls" with me. If Wendy could do it, why can't I?
