The end

Well today was the first day of finals, and I only had one, Spanish. I wasn't too stressed about it; I enjoy Spanish. I ended up with an A for the semester, so go me! I don't have any finals tomorrow, go me again! Monday I have chem. 2, and Tuesday I have animal science. That will officially end my time at Northeast. It's bittersweet. I'm ready to move on, but I will miss Northeast. I really have enjoyed my time there. I wrote a "Dear John" type break-up letter to Northeast for The Beacon. I post it here for your reading pleasure.

Dear Northeast,



These words have lain heavy on my heart for some time now. I know there is no easy way to say this. I know that I have given you some of the best years of your life and you mine, but sadly, I feel it is time for me to move on. Please do not cry. I could not bear to see it. I know this is hard for you. I have enjoyed our time together; truly, I have. It is not you; it is I. I have grown too big for this small Taco Bell-less town. I need someone who can satisfy my “fourth meal” cravings, and you just cannot do that for me. I will miss you. I truly will. I will take everything you have given me wherever I go. Henceforth, I shall always fear the almighty wrath of yellow parking spaces. Our memories are something no one can take away from us. I will always love you my dear Northeast, and I will never forget you.


Love always,


Lindsay Hill

On another note, I received a community college transfer scholarship to Mississippi State. It pays about half my tuition, and I'm very thankful for it. I'll be receiving financial aid as well, so I should be fine. I've felt very blessed here lately.
