Summer Vacation Here I Come!

The school year is finally over for me!  Well, technically it was over last Tuesday, but the fact that I'm moving out and heading home tomorrow makes it official.  My junior year has probably been one of the most complicated, yet amazing years yet.  I feel like things become more crazy and complicated as you get older, at least when you're twenty years old that is.  However, when I say things were a lot simpler last year, they really were.  I know it may not seem like I was on an emotional roller coaster ride from where you readers are sitting, but to be honest I was a mess this year.

Somehow I managed to break a lot of rules.  Not illegal ones, but social ones, which can actually be a lot worse in some ways.  Even with all the chaos, I would not change a single thing.  I was lucky enough to meet and befriend some amazing people, while also getting closer to the great friends I already had.  I felt like I went out and did more things this year, instead of just sitting in my living room and chilling with my crazy roommate (although there was much of that too).  I shared a lot of laughs, memories, and good times.  Here are some highlights from this school year, some of which you probably read about and others that I forgot to mention in no particular order:

1. Band Camp this year was amazing and surprisingly not boring.  Our freshman were kickass.  They somehow managed to carry a huge guy all the way across the cafeteria, which is saying a lot for some tiny Flutes.

2. The Prank War that Nick started was awesome.  I wrote our rasterbating adventure in one of my blog posts, so I won't go into too much detail.  Let's just say Marley and I really took what Nick started to a new extreme.

3. I went to the Compass Bowl with the band in Alabama for the third time this year.  While the bus ride was hell, it was the best out of the three trips there, and just a lot of fun.  We wobbled in the hallway of our hotel room.  It was both fun and drama filled, which kind of sums up the band year as a whole.

4. Getting a Little Sister in my sorority Tau Beta Sigma.

5. Flute Jim, Marley and I's ski trip.  There were so many snow adventuresx (that's right with an 'x') including a safe that doubled as a microwave and Flute Jim flying into a tree (he was fine, don't worry).

6. Having friends in our building.  Marley and I didn't have friends in our building last year so it was different knowing people other than ourselves.  We played pranks, had dinner together, and it was just a good time.  Special shout out to said friends Nick and Cass, thank you for letting us hide in your place when we wanted to avoid our awful roommates and for putting up with our craziness.

7. The highlight of the year is definitely the fact that I kept missing things because I slept through them.  I can't go into detail too much, but let's just say "Becky sleeps through everything" is the new inside joke.

Even though I had such a great year, I am so ready for summer vacation.  I have so many exciting things planned for this summer and I cannot wait.  I'm sure next year will be better than the last, but for now I'm looking forward to sleeping in, hanging out, and taking a break from all this school work.

P.S. Sorry for the extremely long post, I'm just feeling extra sentimental tonight.  This is probably due to the fact that I'm moving out of the building/room I've lived in for the past two years.  It's very bittersweet.
