...the tranquil lady of the night departs for the realm of shadows and dark spaces. It's been a memorable summer. I couldn't even begin to describe how much I have learned while interning in Manila, or how long I've pondered the reasons why Northwestern rejected my transfer application. I've wasted two years of my life attempting to escape from UIC. I feel as if I could have made more lasting relationships with people if I wasn't obsessed with my hatred towards UIC (thankfully, my GPA hasn't suffered). Either way, that's two years gone.
I'm quite thankful that I learned this lesson, the hard way. The hard way has taught me to deal with the cards I've been dealt. So, I will spend the rest of my time at UIC rebuilding the relationships that have collapsed, renewing old friendships, and forging new friendships.
