It was August of 2015, and I was excited to get to college. I didn’t know what to expect. I knew I was ready to get out of my house and move a hundred miles away to live on my own. My only real worry was I wouldn’t be able to see my girlfriend, Ariel. Ariel is my girlfriend who is in high school. She’s a year younger than me, but 2 grades below.

I’ve also learned from my relationship that things will go wrong but it’s okay when they do. The future is unpredictable, and the struggles and hardships that happened to me over the last years have turned me into who I am
