Change Is Inevitable

I've talked to multiple people and most of them say the year has gone by sooooo slowwwwwwwww. Personally, I think this year has been one of the fastest. It is crazy to say that we have less than one month left. Over my freshman year a lot has happened, which causes change.
At the beginning of the year all of my focus was on football and... Preston. I met Preston and we started dating mid August. Football games also started mid August so all of my time was taken up. If I wasn't at football practice or a game I was with Preston or watching him play, and I was totally fine with that. This obviously changed some friendships and made new ones. Unfortunately I stopped talking to some of my friends because I was so hung up on other things, but everything happens for a reason, right?

Once football ended I had a time chunk before lacrosse. This left me time for homework and overthinking. I made problems with people that weren't even there in the first place. I've changed now by not thinking of billions of scenarios that will most likely never happen. I've also learned to express how I feel and talk about it, it's a lot easier than sending mixed signals and having everyone become confused.
Then lacrosse started. This took up, and still takes up a TON of my time. Throughout the season I've learned to be open minded and talk to new people. From this I've met some of the most amazing friends that I know will be apart of my life for a while. I've also improved and have had the chance to play at a higher level, which I am very thankful for. From this I've learned that hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.
While I had a lot of stuff going on outside of school, it was always and still is a big priority. I've learned that studying actually helps your GPA and creating relationships with teachers makes school more enjoyable. I've changed my ways of thinking and I am more appreciate of the things I am learning. I know now that I am very lucky for my education and most kids don't get one.
Finally, my personality. I feel like I'm still a happy person, but unfortunately my temper has gotten very short. I've also become a lot more emotional, probably because of Preston. I'm a lot more sensitive, but don't worry I haven't lost my annoying sarcastic side.
Me. Morgan. I'm still the same person. I still like eating until I feel like I'm going to throw up, playing night games during summer, staying up late for no reason at all, playing lacrosse and football, and hanging out with friends. But I have changed. I've changed, some good some bad. Most importantly, I'm happy with the person I am and excited to see what change is to come.

As you can see I look the same. I've changed on the inside, not the outside ;)
