Essays are handed in
Suitcase is packed.
The sun is shining.
That means one final night with the library crew,
but with one big difference,
we won't be in the library!

I'm excited to go home,
but I'm gonna miss this place.

It's not that bad

I just wanted to say the magic words.

Because no matter how stressful this time of year is.

Three major deadlines within one week.

It's stressful, it's horrible, it's borderline inhumane.

But still.

Despite all this.

I think of the past week,

and it's been long days in the library.

It's been hard work.

But still.

There's been so much laughter.

There's been so many stupid conversations.

There's been so much happiness.

There's been so many friends.

When all this is over.

When I stand there with my degree.

These are the days I will remember,

and look back at with a smile on my face.

The long, difficult hours in the library.

With good, lovely, amazing friends helping me through it.

We keep each other sane,

or we help to make each other crazy.

No matter what,

we're in it together.

And I love them for it,

every single one.

Effie

It used to be the day of darkness.

It's not anymore.

It's still quite a sad day though,

reminds me of how much I miss you.

And how much my life has changed since that day.

7 years. 6 months.

Nothing will ever be like it used to.

Why am I doing this?

I really should stop reading what you write.

It only brings pain and bad memories.

And fyi, I didn't dump you. You turned your back on me.

Which pushed me over the edge once and for all.

Just to let you know.

Finding a balance

It's that feeling.

Of having wonderful days surrounded by beautiful people.

And then having dark nights, filled with monsters.

It feels like I'm not allowed to take the happiness with me when I switch off the lights.
