As one door closes, so many open up. It was the last day of my Intro to Speech class and I just left the bar where myself and 13 of my classmates went to say our final goodbyes. Boy was it bittersweet.
On the first day of class, Professor Robinson said "By the end of the semester you guys will be so close you wont believe it." And I didn't believe it. I don't have trouble making friends so I figured this class would be like any other; I would come to class and leave each day without thinking twice about it.
On the second day of class she had us all push our desks into a cluster in the center of the room. We were all touching elbows and our personal bubble alarms were shrieking inside our bodies. Uncomfortably close doesn't even explain it. I honestly think that is where the ice began to melt. From that point forward we would all hang out before class even started as if we were friends that knew each other for a hundred years.
Sometimes when I would show up even 5 minutes late I would get a text asking where I was. Every day with this group of people was like going to a party where I knew I would get to see all my friends. And every speech that was given was like opening a door into their personal lives, their hearts, and maybe even their souls. I feel like my last minute decision to take this class was complete fate. I originally was taking an Intro to Film course - I had bought the book and everything. The day before the class had started I dropped Film and took up speech instead. BEST. DECISION. EVER!
Going to the bar with these people was like amazing. Hanging out in an uncensored environment where we could be ourselves and just have a lot of fun was unforgettable.

So to Cecelia, Mallory, Josh, Billy, Beth, Tyler, Patrick, Emily, Amber, Nick, Aleksey, Joe, Sarah, Evan, Cory... thank you. For being you above all. I see things differently than I did 8 weeks ago and I could never have done it without all of you. I am here for you if you ever need anything and I love each of you.
