Reflections































               I believe in happy endings. My forever  cup of coffee in her warm, loving hands.


               quote is: “A happy ending is what matters  I started skipping classes and even



               most.” It’s not that I have a dreamy life  received my first warning in four years.


               where I wake up every day to birds  I lost it—my warmth, my feelings… my



               singing and a green path waiting for my  best friend. She’s one of my reasons to


               feet. But through all the challenges I’ve  keep going every day and face the endless



               faced, the person closest to me has always  struggles. I hope we can make it through


               been there waiting for me. Whenever  this semester and find our happy ending.

               in life, the first person I met here, and

               Even though we’re studying different



               majors, nothing stopped us from


               sharing courses and breaks,


               leaving laughter,  memories,



               and even tears all over campus.



               Having a picnic at the end of every


               semester has become our tradition.


               We reflect on everything we’ve been



               through and remind ourselves how



               we’ve made it past all the hard times.





               But this semester feels different. This



               semester, we don’t even have breaks



               together, and I no longer start my


               day with her smile and my favourite
