Hey Guys,
Its definitely one thing to kiss and tell, but its much different when you are kissing and telling millions of girls. So bear with me :)
Over the past year, my relationship status has had its fair share of changing. I've been in love, I've had my heart broken, I've experienced new crushes and have developed life long friends. Lets start back at the beginning of my senior year.
Going into my senior year, I was currently in a year long relationship with my boyfriend, Matt. Matt was a great guy, and had an amazing family, and we were really happy with each other. Unfortunately, Matt was going into his freshman year at the University of Arizona, but we thought our love was strong enough to hold together a 400 mile long distance relationship. The goodbye was unbearable, but once he was settled and I had accepted the distance, things seemed to be working out fine. We used a program called Skype to video call each other every night and talk, and it was a huge help on our long distance relationship.
Honestly, Im not sure what went wrong. But in mid September I received a phone call, saying he wasn't able to do this anymore, and he needed to let go and move on.
I was devastated.
Time rolled on and I realized who I could truly count on. My two best girl friends, Jenna and Sarah, and my best guy friend (who is my "bff"), Randy, did everything in their power to put my broken heart back together, and over time they did. Jenna and Sarah would bring me flowers and all the chocolate my stomach could handle, and the best "I hate boys they all need to rot and die" movie, John Tucker Must Die. Randy and I would get slurpies, sit in the driveway, look at the stars, and talk for hours.
February came along and Matt and I began talking again. The friendly text messages turned into heart felt phone calls, and when I was at a camp on the UA's campus, we decided to give it a shot again.
After that, we were fine. We learned from our mistakes and really tried to make it work, and it did. He was my date to my senior prom and he came to my graduation. The summer came along and he was staying with my family and I at my house, since his parents moved and they weren't close by anymore. May went along and then it was June, and I was continuing to have my Slurpie rituals with my bff, Randy and my girls nights with Sarah and Jenna.
Many things seemed to happen. Matt and I started fighting a lot, I was getting irritated with him, and I started to have feelings for my bff. I knew it wasn't fair to Matt, so we ended up deciding to take a break and he would go back to Tucson. My bff and I became closer than ever, and we quickly became an item. We never had the title, boyfriend and girlfriend, but we were together. Randy and I would spend time together every night, and his family was always so fun to be around. My summer fling suddenly came to a sad end, when I had to pack up my life and move to college.
Randy and I stayed and still are very close, but are no more than friends. His future is extremely bright with colleges recruiting him for football, and my life was taking me to Tucson, and we decided thats what would be best.
After a long 6 hour car ride, I was finally a college student. I moved into my dorm, said my goodbyes, and began living my life on my own. The only person I knew well was Jenna, who is my roommate, and Matt. Matt and I began talking again, and went on a few dates, but we both decided its just not going to work out, and we just aren't meant to be right now. All of this happened the first week of school. I was flying solo and meeting LOTS of new guys.
I went on a few dates, and went to a few parties with some guys, but one seemed to stick out more than the rest.
All of the people in my dorm (which is co-ed) became very close over the first two weeks of school. We would have dance parties in the game room, watch movies in random rooms, or just hang out and have a good time. There was this guy named Corey, that I really liked from the start. He was a sweet guy with great morals, and most importantly...he could make me smile. At first it was harmless flirting through text messages, but over time a crush developed, on both ends. Our crush quickly grew into a relationship, and the title, "Boyfriend and girlfriend".
At first I was very skeptical about being in a relationship. I mean, It's college. Its the time to grow, have fun, and date around. In all honesty, I am extremely happy that I chose the relationship with Corey. He is more than an amazing guy, who sings me Angels and Airwaves songs, kisses my forehead, tells me I'm beautiful when I'm in sweats and have no makeup on, and he makes me feel nothing but great about myself. And Yes Grandma...he has blue eyes. He will definitely be around for a very long time, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Well, now that you know my entire life, im going to call it a night.
Defy Gravity and Keep Smiling,
♥ Dawn
Life as I know it
