All good things come to an end

Summer. The heat, the humidity, the short clothes, the cold drinks, vacationing in exotic places. Summer is probably the most awaited time of the year, when you get to kick back and relax.
When summer began, I kept thinking how was I going to get through three months of summer without going home, and commuting and with none of my friends around for the first half of summer. Summer is over and I got through it just fine I think.
If I look at it, Summer was pretty uneventful. I spent the entire Summer commuting, studying and lazing around. Working for a while and procrastinating. That was about it. I fell in love with Starbucks again and fell out of love with Dunkin. But oh well, all that will change the moment I need two coffees a day.
While on the subject of coffee, I had promised myself that I wouldn't drink coffee the first week of college, since I would eventually come around to consuming copious amounts of coffee within the first month. Fail. The first day of classes and I drank the crappy coffee at the cafe on campus. I sometimes wonder if I would have scored better marks in my 12th Board exams if I had been allowed to drink coffee the way I drink right now. Food for thought, rather, liquid for thought.
Back to Summer, I did not realize the entire summer that the last week and a half of my summer would end up being the best part of my entire summer. Although at the end of summer and before the Orientation Week for International Students started, I did realize that I ha started looking at things differently, yet more change. Perhaps I will never stop bitching about change, despite the fact that it happens all around me. Orientation Week began and I realized that this week was the highlight of summer. I met the most wonderful people at Rutgers, namely the entire Orientation team. The week went by so fast, between the Orientation and moving my stuff into my dorm, and working, and hanging out with everyone and of course eating and getting to go see Lion King (yayayayayayay) in New York. Thursday of that week and I was so sad I was gonna eat a few packets of Oreos, but my friend agreed to save me and eat pizza with me. hah! Amazing friends I have.
Friday came and I couldn't wait for it to not end. But of course, all good things come to an end as my friend explained to me the night before when we were moving her stuff at 2 am looking like 2 homeless people. Hanging out with those people later that night I realized that I loved all of them to death, a slight exaggeration, but that just about sums up how much I wished it wouldn't end.
One of our smart cookies at Orientation suggested we make a Facebook group to remember all the weird things that people did at Orientation, and oh my, the things that people did and that we all did. Everyone's allowed to be weird. Also I realized I am pretty weird myself. But then we're all allowed to be weird in our own ways, said another friend once.
Perhaps my description of Orientation Week fails to show how much I miss it and how we all look for places and times and events so we can hang out together. But it's one of the best things that happened to me this summer. Also, because I got to give free advice to people who asked for it voluntarily. Man I love giving advice.
The downside though is the increase in the number of people on campus. One day of classes and I already wish they'd all go away. I need a place on the bus to sit to take my early morning nap. The hostile take over by the new students prevents me from doing it. yay to crankier mornings than ever and an ever increasing consumption of coffee.
So since now I am officially a marketing major, I can't get over what nephew said, that marketing people are those who just take money from people. sigh.
Here's to totally no control over my lunch and dinner timings, living on coffee, all nighters, dirty dorm rooms, sleeping among piles of clothes, and an exciting semester of watching all of the new bollywood movies with my friends, as soon as they come out.
