So I am back at Pitt for the second half of my Sophomore year. The semester is young, but I am expecting a lot out of it. I have at least one friend in every class and more than one in most of them. My schedule is tough, but I believe I'm ready for it.
Winter break was much needed. I spent most of my time spent laying around, watching Netflix, or hanging with my friends and family. I got to spend a lot of time with my friends which is always a blast. The other day Cindy asked me, "Do you think you can have a soulmate in a nonromantic way?" And after thinking about it for a while I told her that I suppose you can. My nonromantic soulmates are my six best friends from high school. They're the people I plan on keeping around for the rest of my life.
In addition to those friends I have another one. Greg. Who over break decided he was going to transfer to Penn State.
Losing Greg is a real kick in the gut. It sucks. The kid helped me through a lot, and him and I made some memories I will never forget. Although he's not the most affectionate guy he did admit to me once that I was the best friend he ever had. And he knows he's one of mine. I'm going to miss Greg like crazy. Hell, everyone here at Pitt who knew Greg is going to miss him like crazy. He's just a fun guy to be around. A guy that people tend to feed off of. Despite how much I love the kid when he asked me what I thought he should do (go or stay) I told him he needed to go. And believe me, that sucked. But over time I've learned that you can't hold on to things that believe they should be somewhere else. Greg believed he belonged at State College, and I wasn't about to argue with him. I wanted him to do what was best for him in the long run and I truly think Penn State is what's best for him. Greg wants to make money and petroleum engineers make a lot of money. So I told him he should go.
It's weird you know, telling someone to go, all the while wishing they would stay.
But Greg is gone and Dave is gone (for now). So this semester will be a learning experience. I can tell I'm going to get closer to guys like Jeff, Nick, and Zach. Probably even closer to Jared. Only time will tell I suppose.
(On a side note I'm almost done with the entire series "The Office")
I just finished an episode and this quote was in it. I love it.
"Love suffers long and is kind — it is not proud. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails and now these three remain: Faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
