University

I finally got around to listening to "Wake Me Up When September Ends" properly, and it kind of made me sad about going to University. Lines like 'seven years has gone so fast' seem so very true now. It's been such a long journey, if you consider all the memories, but that's actually over. We all have to go our own seperate ways.

Of course, first we have the summer, but I have a feeling when summer ends this song will really hit home. Cooper was right when he said it was like an offical 'going to Uni' song. If there was a montage sequence of us, this would be the song playing over it. The song doesn't even seem to be about university, but going off to war, judging by the video, but it seems to apply so very well to us.

Makes me think if in a year, seeing each other again won't just be a fun cool thing to do, then in five years, it'll be odd, and then in ten, it'll be dropped to "I used to know this guy called..." you tell your other mates. I was always terrible at accepting change, and it's very odd to imagine that in a few years, everything we had here could easily be forgotten, and dare I say it, replaced.

I love what we have here, the best group of friends, we've done so much and had so much fun, it feels so odd to think we're leaving it behind. I think we should vow to see each other at least once every year. And I mean forever. When we're sixty, I still think we should spend a weekend, coming back here, all of us together. To make sure we never ever replace or forget what we have right now.

Or alternatively we could just all go and star in our own sitcom, so we're all together forever!
