John Mayer once said, "I believe that my life's gonna see the love I give returned to me."
As I am home for break, I have tons of time to see people I am close with. One of the first places I went was back to my school to see the production of the Crucible. I picked up my friends and we went and I tried to keep a low profile. Funny joke...I got mauled like a baby tiger. Today, I went to school to see teachers and friends....and I got mauled again....
As much as I tried to keep a low profile, I really expected that my arrival would be a non event. I see my arrival as a non event, so why would anyone else see it differently? Don't read this wrong, I'm really not full of myself. But being home and being surrounded by so many people makes me feel so loved and so happy. Whether I am here or far away, I have a huge support system behind me of amazing people who love me unconditionally.
As much as I love Iowa City, in my heart of hearts I did miss home. After an interesting transitional period to college, I have never been more thankful for a group of friends who love and support me indefinitely. I can never express how grateful I am to my friends and family who care about me so much. I will never understand what I ever did to deserve their amazing love and support, but I am thankful for them everyday.
At the end of the day, I am going to my dream school, I am studying what I love, I have a roof over my head, I have food, I have a family who loves me, and I have the best group of friends who are there for me no matter what. I am amazed at my blessings, and I am so grateful. What more could a girl ask for?
