Looking through the yearbook from last year, I\u2019m kind of surprised by how many people said I made an impact on their lives. Actually, it\u2019s kind of silly. The number of people I kept in contact with dropped drastically after several months of summer, and I don\u2019t think that number is going to be very high again very soon.<\/p>\n

Seriously, though, I think people were just writing good things in my yearbook because they felt obligated to do so. I even got phone numbers. I barely had interaction with some of these people, too. People making assumptions\u2026 telling me they\u2019ve heard my name tossed around\u2026 telling me they think I\u2019m quiet \/ shy (but really awesome \/ smart \/ nice \/ funny inside!1!!1!)\u2026 Hearts. lots of hearts. \u201cWhat note is this?\u201d Drawings. Promises to make plans in the (presumably near) future.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t get it. I tried to follow up with some of these peoples\u2019 requests, but to no avail. It\u2019s pretty obvious, then, that either they were lying through their teeth (Sharpies) or just decided that they had other priorities right after school ended. But didn\u2019t we all? College started, which means studying and classes and obviously for a lot of them, partying. That doesn\u2019t mean you have to leave your old friends in the dust as you drink yourself to death.<\/p>\n

Whatever. It\u2019s gone. Memories will remain memories and if you dwell in them for too long, you lose sight of what\u2019s to come. So I\u2019m here to warn you not to make the same mistake I did: dwelling in the pain will only make it hurt more. Move on, \u00a0be proactive and make a difference in someone’s life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
