Today was one of those days when all things seem like carefree butterflies sitting on the petals of yellow flowers. Well, college is pretty much done with for the next 2 weeks, and so is my freshman year, but I have a short Intersession for around 7 weeks from May through June. Getting back to why the day was so dynamite, well, it was that way, thanks to my friends. I'm not sure what it'd be like without them, I don't know what I'd do without them.
If you looked at us today, from outside the glass jar, it would look like 5 teenage girls driving all over town with nowhere in particular to go to; but inside the jar, we felt like happy people having fun on our own, city cruising under the cruel summer sun. We drove all the way from college all the way to the other part of the city to pick up two friends of my friend. Well, that was a pretty 'friendly' drive!! We went totally neurotic with me screaming out the directions, the sound of my other friend's phone ringing...gee, there was a movie plan for the evening and there was a call to her phone every 5 seconds with people calling to confirm whether the plan was really on or not and which movie it was that they were going to, plus, another of my friends making all the funniest faces and singing along with the radio. Gee, inside that Jeep it was like the Big Bang theory in action!!
In between, we stopped at a mall to pick up another of our friends, and after that, there was an argument about whether we should get back to college first, drop her, and then go and pick the other two 'friends' of my friend up, or just go pick them up directly, but in the end, that's what we ultimately did.
It was too late anyway to go back all the way to college, so we headed to the school to pick the others up. By the time I got home, it was almost 3 p.m.. I had a great time, and I hope such days come along more often.
The best part of all that chaos was the chaos itself!! When we grow older, I guess it's such things that we'll miss.
I miss all these little things and arguments we used to have in school. High school was a totally different experience- we experienced all that was experienceable. It is probably one of those doorways in a person's life which stands between where we become who we are and an entirely new dimension of life in which we have possibilities, opportunities, and the REAL life where we must make our own decisions!!! In this dimension, there's only one saying that can be applied - 'Make Hay While the Sun Shines'!
Well, I have passed into this new dimension already!! But, I'm not sure if I'm ready to give up who I was. I guess I still have some time to actually step into the real world where things are totally unpredictable and out of control, so while I'm still in the queue, the only thing I should do is try and make the best of what Time and life have to offer me! :) Right?
