Today was the last Monday of classes in my college career. College is ending and the next stage is beginning. Like I've said before, Allie and I are moving back to Greeley next Fall so we've started looking for apartments. Your freshman year you're required to live on campus, but after that you could get an apartment if you wanted to live off campus. There are lots of options and opportunities in Greeley as far as places to live. You should look around if you're interested. For the past two years I've lived in a place that...has a lot of character. It really isn't a bad place, it's been fun and feels like home now. College is a fun opportunity to live in circumstances and places you're not used to. You obviously don't want to live in a place you hate, but sometimes you don't get everything you're looking for and you warm up to it. For example, last year the boiler in our house kept overheating and this burst of steam would erupt from the boiler room and it sounded like a freight-train was in our house. It was terrifying. This happened once a month for awhile until we got it fixed. The point is, the stories of the boiler are some of the funniest to tell and my old roommates and I can look back and laugh about it later. Life won't always bring you perfect situations, but nothing tells you that you can't find a way to enjoy them. Obviously there are going to be circumstances that are sad and stressful, but find others to share them with and talk to. You can find such a great community of friends here. A great support system that will be there for you when you need them. We call moving out of our parent's house independence, but we're still very much dependent upon others. It's okay to need help, so take it when you can. Make friendships and share life together.
