the end of the epic

as i was packing up my things i realized that it would never be like this again. for all the craziness and awkwardness, stanford in washington is probably one of the most amazing experiences i've ever had. in three short months, i have rubbed elbows with the best the nation has to offer, lived with and learned from the most unique group of individuals i have come across, explored life in a city and taken the first step towards figuring out my life. i will always be able to look back and note the profound impact that this exhausting period had on shaping me as a scholar, friend, and individual. i will miss the city that i had begun to call my own and look forward to when i can return to the place where it all began.
