An End of a Journey- A Thank You to JK Rowling

I still can’t believe that the end of decade of books and movies came to an end tonight. I remember being 11 years old and Harry Potter being 11 years old in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Little did I know that these books would take me on a journey. 14 years later, at 21 years old, I am astounded at how much this series has meant to me. I wasn’t your typical 11 year old. I was an athlete, and a straight A student and a nerd. Till this day, I still am a Nerd and I’m perfectly ok with it. I preferred to read a book, and practice my flute than to be another pre-teen preoccupied with growing up and boys. These books took me away to another magical place. At 11 years old, I waited for my letter from Hogwarts, where the sorting hat would place me in my proper house, Gryffindor of course…these books were more than just books, they became my childhood. I can’t imagine not mentioning these books and what they meant for me. I have Harry Potter bookmarks to go with each of my hardcover books. Each book represented a different age in my life in which, Harry, Hermoine, Ron and I grew up together. I felt as though they were my classmates and I knew every bit of their lives. People who haven’t read the books, miss out greatly. JK Rowling has the power to take you away and immerse you in a land of magic simply through her words. I can’t begin to fathom that this is the end of what I’ve known most of my life…the end of Harry Potter. My life is so much better with you in it and I’m can go to sleep knowing that everything will be ok because the midnight showings of the movies and the midnight book releases were worth it. Counting the 11 hours straight it took me to read the books. I couldn’t have imagined not experiencing Harry Potter in any other way…and for that, Thank You JK Rowling.

My last night in MUB

It’s 1:24 am and I’m currently waiting for my food to be delivered. Im watching the Cosby Show and sitting alone in my room. My floor is quiet. Which is unusual. I miss the noise on my floor. I miss having to tell people “it’s quiet hours”. Basically. I miss having people around. I’m going to miss the people at MUB, my staff, my boss, my comfort zone, and especially my room. If these walls could talk, they would have so much to say. In this room, I was awoken by my RA friends on the night I turned 21 years old. I blew out my candles in this room (shhh. we tried really hard to not make the fire detectors go off). In this room, we had late night study sessions, took naps while others had papers to write. In this room, I saw the sun rise over the Chicago Skyline, saw the Snowmageddon of 2011, or thunderstorms of May. In this room, I had my ups and downs, my nights of struggles, nights of endless IR writing or girl time with my MUB girls. From tears to endless laughs. If the walls could talk, they would have so much to say. 

I will miss MUB so much and will always have my heart. I know this is a change I need to grow into the person I want to be by the time I graduate. A year from today, I will walking and accepting my degree in Psychology and Spanish. I hope that I can accomplish the things I want by then. 

Its in my control right? I’m destined for greatness and I will not settle for nothing less.
