16 days
2 weeks
One weekend
Until it's over

Freshman year is ending
And my heart hurts
As it ends
It hurts
Because I feel as though
I have just begun
I like my major
I like my friends
I laugh until and cry
Into essays
At 11:23 pm
I get HURTS donuts
at 2am
And I've driven
With my head out the sun roof
Singing along
To Hasley
While my friends
Sing below me

I have cried
I have laughed
I had a break up
I joined 4 clubs
And I worked 3 jobs
I met 2 of my favorite ever people
And my heart hurts
At the idea
Of the semester ending

I have gone
From strangers making
Faces through a window
To one of my best friends
In less than 2 months

I have gone from
A simple lunch date
To my best college friend

I have hung out a window and
Cheered
I have held my friends
While they shook with sobs
I have missed class
And aced exams
And created projects
I didn't know I was capable
Of making
I understood what it felt like
To be infinite

Freshman year
Has gone by so fast
And I am not ready
For it to be over
