\u201cMaybe I just wanna fly, wanna live, I don’t wanna die,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the final Song Scribbles with Sydney. It\u2019s a bittersweet time. Two days ago, I graduated from the University of Michigan. Yesterday, I moved back home for the summer. Now, as I write this blog post from my childhood bedroom, I can\u2019t believe how time has flown by. While I\u2019m thrilled to have had such a wonderful graduation (especially after my high school graduation being canceled due to the pandemic), I\u2019m also feeling a sense of loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaybe I just wanna breathe, maybe I just don’t believe,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friends and I are going to go do great things all over the place, which is wonderful, but I\u2019m going to miss living near all of them. I\u2019m lucky to be headed to get my master\u2019s degree in New York City, a city where a few of my friends will also be living, but I know it won\u2019t be the same as Ann Arbor. I\u2019m very excited for my next steps, but I also know that I\u2019ll always look back fondly on my time at the University of Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaybe you’re the same as me,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve learned and changed so much over the past four years. I\u2019m far more open-minded, vulnerable, and happy than I ever remember being. I\u2019ve found friends that feel like family, and Ann Arbor feels like home. When I started college, I wasn\u2019t sure I\u2019d ever be able to form this level of friendship, but I\u2019ve formed several friendships that I’m confident will last far beyond my college years. How fortunate am I to have such a fabulous support system? How lucky am I to have had something so great that I know I\u2019ll miss it for years to come?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see things they’ll never see.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My undergraduate years may be over, but the memories and relationships will last a lifetime. I can\u2019t wait until the next time my friends and I get together, and I\u2019m excited to see how gamedays feel as an alum. While I may be leaving Michigan, I know that Michigan will never leave me. As I embark on this next chapter in my life, I will do so with confidence and positivity \u2013 the same way I approach every other challenge I face. Thank you for everything, Ann Arbor. Writing these blogs and creating an archive of my college experiences through Song Scribbles is something I will be grateful for for years to come. It truly is great to be a Michigan Wolverine \u2013 Go Blue forever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou and I are gonna live forever.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
