Ever since I got out of high school, I’ve been happy for the first time that I can remember. It’s like, I’m finally free. I no longer have to listen to overly tanned rich kids telling me that I’m a worthless hick who’s never going to go anywhere in life.

I’m a straight A student and I got into the college of my dreams. Granted, I didn’t really aim for the stars, but it’s been my dream to go there ever since I was a little girl, and I made it. I may not know exactly what I’m going to do with my life just yet, but I feel like I could do anything. The world is wide open to me.

I just want to hold onto this feeling forever.
