So, I attended a get together on Friday for one of my friends who is leaving for the Marines. It involved some partying and a lot of mixed emotions in the room. Everyone knew what was happening, but no one wanted to dwell on the subject too much. It was one of those memorable nights that you’ll store in the back of your head for years upon years. A night so good, how could it leave so soon!

It’s unthinkable to fathom him already leaving for boot camp right now, but it symbolized something deeper. Beyond all our stupid games, beyond all the random moments, beyond everything that makes up this turbulent semester lies something deeper. These friends, although not perfect, have been there for me. Ryan, you really taught me to stick up for myself in midst of controversey or uncertainty. Something, I use to run and hide from too often. I love you man, I wish you the best in the future, and can’t wait to hear from you in 13 weeks. I hope this opportunity gives you everything you need to succeed.

Now, comes the present. Everything needs to stay in perspective, and I know this is just the start of a lot of warm good-byes, or see you laters. It’s all how you want to look at it. Poland, lift me up in your splendor and bring in all that is good back in.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers everyone, and as always, thanks for listening.
