Goodbye 18

Well today was my last day as an eighteen year old. A part of me feels like my childhood and teenage years are slipping through my fingers. I feel like I have to stop it, but I'm at a loss for exactly how...Don't get me wrong, I'm exciting for the next journey, but it's coming so fast.

Lets recap this past year...

Well...that's all I can think of at the moment...

Not only was this my last day as an eighteen year old, but it was senior night for the winter sports. It was completely bittersweet. I was so happy for all of my friends, but at the same time so sad that this was their last basketball game at our home gym. Not only that, but it was my last time watching a basketball game at our home gym while being a high school student. I will never get to see my best friend play basketball at Augusta Christian. This was completely surreal. I wanted to freeze every moment and just soak in all the memories I could.I have never in my life wanted to freeze a moment as much as I did tonight.
